hi how is your day going hop it is going good im happy to see you on friday im from pcm bye have a good day.

Hi Michael!

Great to hear from you!  Today wasn’t so good for Dexter because it was cold and rainy, so he couldn’t hang out in the backyard or on the front porch to watch everything going on in the neighborhood.  That’s one of his favorite things to do.  It’s an enclosed porch, so we bring his bed onto the porch, and Dexter loves it!  He could stay on the porch all day!

Oh, by the way, we’re not coming to your school until next Thursday, May 29.  So, we’ll see you then!

Enjoy the weekend!

Rick (and Dexter, too!)

Hi Ellie!

Dexter and I can’t wait to meet you and all your classmates on the 29th!  Dexter enjoys meeting the kids on his school visits.  His favorite thing is just to have kids be nice to him and pet him!

Hi Lauren!

Dexter and I are looking forward to it, too!  I was thinking I might just read Sparky’s Wonderful Life, and then just talk with the kids, some Q&A, and have Dexter in the class with me.

See ya soon!

Rick and Dexter, too!  Woof!

Thanks you for coming to our School

Hi Jackson!

You’re welcome!  Dexter and I had so much fun meeting you and all your classmates.  Dexter was a such a good boy, even though I forgot to bring his doggie biscuits! (We stopped on the way home for a little snack.  Dexter loves croissants!).

Thanks for writing!  And keep on reading!!

Rick (and Dexter, too!)  Woof!

I miss  sparky and dextex to

Hi Marcus!

I miss Sparky, too!  Especially since it was just her “birthday” on April 24 (not her real birthday; that was the day we adopted Sparky from Adopt-A-Dog; we never knew her real birthday, only that she was born sometime in 1998 somewhere in New York City).  She was such a wonderful dog.  But I have great memories of Sparky, and whenever I miss her I just think about all the fun we had together, and it always puts a smile on my face.

And thanks for your kind words about Dexter, too!  He’s really tired today after visiting all the kids at Hudson Valley Catholic Academy.  I’ll give Dexter a hug for you tonight!

Thanks for writing!  Enjoy the weekend!

Rick (and Dexter, too!)

do Dexter like to play outside

Hi O’Shea!

Yes, Dexter likes to play outside!  Sometimes, I’ll play with him, and he’ll start running all around the backyard!  Dexter also likes to play with some of his doggie friends in the backyard, but we haven’t done that for a while.  We have to invite one of his pals to visit soon.  Our mailman has a nice dog named Smokey that Dexter has played with in the backyard.

But to tell you the truth, rather than playing, Dexter really likes to just lay in the sunshine in the backyard and take a nap.  He loves that!

Thanks for the great question!

Rick and Dexter, too!  Woof!

I love you,sparky and dexter sparky😘🩷🫶.

Hi Aisha!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Sorry I took a few days to reply, but I’m down in New Orleans for a few days.   When Sparky was alive, she and I visited schools down here.  I’m going back home tonight, and I sure will be happy to see Dexter when I get there!!

Hope you had a great weekend!

Rick (and Dexter, too!)  Woof!
