Hi Cataleya!

Thank you for your nice words about Sparky.  She’s gone, but not forgotten!  I have so many wonderful memories about Sparky.  And now we have Dexter, who just turned 9 years old.  Thanks for the birthday wishes!!

See you soon!

Rick and Dexter, too!  Woof!

Sparky you were Amazing dog I am so sorry for your loss rip sparky☹

Hi Antwan!

Yes, Sparky was a great dog!  Thank you for your kind words about her.  And Dexter is a great dog, too!  He’s following in Sparky’s “pawprints,” visiting schools and making friends just like Sparky did!!

See ya soon!

Rick and Dexter, too!  Woof!

Hey Author Rick and Dexter i just want to say that you are so cute Dexter and the books are nice and Happy Birthday Dexter

Hi Aaron!

Dexter says thanks for the birthday wishes!!  He’s 9 years old now.  His “birthday” was May 7, but that’s just the day we adopted Dexter from Adopt-A-Dog when he was 2 years old.  We don’t know Dexter’s real birthday.  All we know is that he was born sometime in 2015 in West Virginia, which is where Adopt-A-Dog rescued Dex from a dog pound.  And, yep, our Dexter is a good-looking doggie, and you’ll get to meet him on Tuesday!!

Hi authur rick what’s dexter’s favorite color

Hi Aleah!

Hmm, that’s a tough one because dogs supposedly don’t see many colors.  When kids would ask what about Sparky’s favorite color, I’d always say black and white because she was white with lots of black spots.  As for Dexter, maybe her favorite color is red because her leash is red, and she always gets excited when I take out her leash because she knows she’s going for a walk!

Thanks for the great question!

Rick and Dexter, too!  Woof!

I’m sorry Sparky died 😢😔💔

Hi Cecily!

Thank you for your kind words about Sparky.  She was a great dog and lived a wonderful life.  I’ll tell you all about her on Tuesday when I read “Sparky’s Wonderful Life.”!

See you then!

Rick and Dexter, too

Happy Birthday Dexter

Hi Victor!

Thank you for wishing Dexter a happy 9th birthday!!  Supposedly, one “dog year” equals seven “human years,” so Dexter is about 63 years old (9 x 7).  He’s definitely not a little puppy anymore!

And you’ll get to meet him on Tuesday! See you then!

Rick and Dexter, too!  (Woof!)

happy birthday dexter!

Hi Noah!

Thank you for your birthday wishes!  Dexter had a fun 9th birthday.  He celebrated with his “cousin” Lucy (my daughter Kristen’s dog) and he enjoyed a birthday cupcake!

See you on Tuesday!

Rick and Dexter, too!  (Woof!)
