OKLAHOMA: why can't my puppy be as good as you? i love him, but the little idiot keeps messing in the house, and i don't know why! we've tried all the training book stuff.
CLEOPUPTRA: really. you can't figure out why? could it be, oh, i dunno... revenge?
OKLAHOMA: revenge? we love him! he gets all the best toys, he gets expensive food, he gets...
CLEOPUPTRA: humiliated at the dog park...
OKLAHOMA: he gets no such thing.
CLEOPUPTRA: ahuh. how did you guys ever come up with his name?
OKLAHOMA: oh, it was so adorable! when he first came home with us, he would race around the house and try to get into anything he could. if someone was busy, or trying to read, he would shove aside anything we were holding to get our attention, so we'd tell him, "shoo, puppy! scat!" so cute!
CLEOPUPTRA: yeah. and you can't figure out why the puppy you named "scat" won't stop going in the house?
