Sparky as a Puppy

• We had a lot to learn about puppies when we
  first got Sparky. We had our last dog,
  Farnsworth, for a long time. Farnsworth was an
  old dog when we got him. He disappeared and,
  after several months, we decided we wanted
  another dog.
• We got Sparky when she was 6 weeks old. Sparky
  chewed on everything she could fit her teeth
  around. She drug up junk into our yard. Sparky
  also dug in my flower beds. Farnsworth was a boy
  and Sparky is a girl. We did not realize how
  different puppies were!
