I have wondered all my life what they were saying, now I know. Thanks for clearing that up and don't let your mind play any tricks on you.
As far as the dog goes I like a good cage match with a dog like that. Lock your selves up in is pin or your shop and get after him until he is at the doorstep of death. Really explore the room and show him how cool it is to have opposable thumbs. If that does not work he is crazier than you are there will be no resolution other than him being gone.
