Our dog, Sam, got a phone call the other day from his Uncle Ken. (Ken is my brother-in-law, who met Sam when he was here for a visit last month.) Ken had seen my previous post and pictures of one of Sam’s destructive days, and so he called to give Sam a pep talk about being better behaved.
What Ken said. “Sam, I’m very disappointed in you. I see the destruction you made. That’s very bad, Sam. You better straighten out or you’ll have to come live with me. Sam, you be good.”
What Sam heard. “Blah, blah, blah, Sam. Blah, blah, blah, Sam. Blah-de-blah-de-da, Sam. Sam, blah, blah.”

Sam gets Ken's message off the answering machine. "Woof, woof, Ken. Woof, woof, woof."
