From Phoumi: Listen, Kid!

Spot was a dog from the fifties.  Times change.  You can't be jumping up on garbage cans and running all over the neighborhood doing, I daresay, you know what.  I am your grand-puppy ancestor or something like that.  There is a bond there, I know that.

Another piece of advice.  Don't trust Golden Retrievers.  They are evil.  Worse than Standard Poodles.  Trust me on that one.  Bitter experience.

And don't be making fun of the picture.  See what you look like when you are 35 years old.
