Sparky / Dexter’s Adventures

We Adopted too.

I don’t think  dogs can spell and send a message.🤔😁🐕.

Hi Lorenzo!

Sorry I took a couple of days to get back to you!  So happy that you adopted your pet, too!  That’s wonderful!  I’ve adopted all my dogs in my life.  I always say that you when you adopt a pet you get a great friend and you save a life, too!

And you’re right, dogs can’t spell and send a message!  I have to do all the writing for Dexter!  And I did all the writing for Sparky, too.  But once in a while, Sparky would jump up and put her paws on the keyboard and the typing would come out in some sort of weird doggie language, like “pafskjaspoifag0oirueu  osd;fkj”!!

Thanks for writing and have a great weekend!

Rick (and Dexter, too – even though he didn’t write this!)

dex is super cute

Hi Cataleya!

Yes, Dexter is a good-looking dog.  He’s a handsome boy!  Glad you like him!  He sure did like meeting you and all your classmates!

Enjoy your weekend!

Rick (and Dexter, too!)

What’s your son’s name and birthday 🎂

Hi Adrian!

My son’s name is David.  And his birthday is in the summer, July 28.  He’s really good with animals, especially dogs.  And he has a nice dog named Kai.  Kai and Dexter are good buddies, but David and Kai moved to California a couple of years ago.  I wonder if Kai and Dexter miss each other?

Thanks for writing!

Rick

What is there birthday.

Hi Natalie!

Well, Dexter’s “birthday” is May 7, and Sparky’s “birthday” was April 24.  But those weren’t their real birthdays.  Those were the days we adopted Dexter and Sparky from Adopt-A-Dog.  We never knew their real birthdays because they were homeless dogs.  So, we used their adoption days as their “birthdays”!  Dexter just turned 9 years old on her recent birthday, and Sparky lived to be 13 years old.

And Speedy the Tortoise’s “birthday” is coming up.  Just like with Dexter and Sparky, we don’t know Speedy’s real birthday, but this Thursday is National Tortoise Day, so we use that as her birthday!  Speedy will be 32 years old this year!!

Thanks for writing!

Rick and Dexter, too!  Woof!

hiii author rick how is your day today and i miss you and dex hope we see u soon bye love amiyah and rip sparky

Hi Amiyah!

We’re doing well.  And thanks for the kind thoughts about Sparky.  Dex and I visited another school on Wednesday, St. Bridget in Cheshire, CT.  So, Dexy is resting today!  And he really enjoys the little biscuits that Ms. Hunter gave him.  Hope you had a nice day at school today.  It’s almost the weekend!  Yay!

Bye for now!

Rick and Dexter, too!  Woof, woof!!

 

Hi Author Rick and Dexter, thank you for reading and talking about Sparky to us. We all miss you guys already and I ‘ll never give away Dexter’s chapter book.

Hi Cecily!

You’re welcome!  Dexter and I had so much fun at your school!  And I always love talking about Sparky and Dexter!  I’m sure Dexter misses all his new friends at Park City, and I’m so happy that you like Dexter’s chapter book so much!  Someday, I have to get around to writing another chapter book about Dexter and his band!

All the best,

Rick and, of course, Dexter, too!!

Thursday is our concert

Hi Annesa!

OK.  Then maybe your teacher can mail it to me or I can stop by the school another day to pick it up.

Have fun at your concert!

Rick

Hi Annesa!

You’re welcome! Dexter and I had a great time at your school!  And I’m so happy you like the games on Sparky and Dexter’s Web site! I like the Match Game!  As for the painting, maybe you can give it to your teacher, and she can mail it to me.  Or even better, maybe I can stop by on Thursday and pick it up.
