Days go one after another.

Sparky is still doing the same, rests a lot inside but is playful and energetic outside. He does have his moments when the afternoon walk ends in 5 minutes if the weather is rainy or foggy. 

Every day that passes, we wonder what is going on. Both vets that we talked to were very clear about Sparky only having a few weeks left. And still here he is, playing outside, eating very well, with no noticeable signs of decline.

We have no complaints of course and wish that things will continue this way for as long as possible.

Life is so simple now. 

Get up, give Sparky his pills with a bit of food, go for the morning walk, then breakfast (with the food prepared the previous evening) and I go to work.

I come some days in the lunch break to walk him since he cannot hold his peeing for the whole day because of the increased thirst.

In the afternoon, another walk around 5.30 - 6 pm, then the evening pills, cooking the dinner, dinner for the big boy and then staying together for a while.

Not much time is left in the evening so after talking to the girls about our day, I go to sleep.

During the night, we have the night walk for about 30 minutes and then we sleep until the next day.

This is pretty much the schedule of most days.

As simple as it is, I don't feel bored at all and would not do anything else.

I am not interested in meeting anyone, not interested in going out, not drinking any longer.

If Sparky is still with us, nothing else matters.
