Hello good reader. This is Tucker the Much Better Vizsla Than Dennis. While Dennis is occupied getting ready for Pink Daisy’s Halloween costume contest, I thought I would address some scurrilous rumors and videos that have surfaced recently that purport to show me clumsily attempting to gain access to the kitchen counter. But can we really trust the evidence of our eyes? Let’s investigate. Come, Trixie, the game’s afoot!
Let’s begin by examining a still from the video in question:
As you can see, the back of the settee is much higher than the top of the counter. Therefore, it would certainly make no sense for me to be trying to climb over the settee to get to the counter. If anything, I would use the counter to get to the settee! Besides, as can plainly be seen, Smurfette is not on the counter, so why would I need to go there?
So the question is, because I was obviously not trying to steal food off the counter, what was I doing? The answer, of course, is that I was performing calisthenics.
Unfortunately, some people around here are not interested in physical fitness.
The conclusion is incontrovertible — I was not trying to steal anything off the counter. I was merely trying to engage in a program of physical fitness when I was so rudely interrupted. The case of whatever was on the counter is closed.
Elementary, my dear Trixie. Elementary.

How could we ever have doubted you Tucker TMBTDV. I feel so ashamed for my jumping to conclusions now that I know the truth of the matter

I am most confused by Trixie’s head ornament.
Thank you for that most clarifying explanation. Now I know why the photographer was grouchy. Obviously jealous of your devotion to physical fitness.

Yes, I guess working really hard to get on the counter is excellent exercise!

Good. I didn’t REALLY think that you were trying to get up on the counter. I just couldn’t believe it. I mean, Dennis, sure, I could believe that, but you, nope! Seeing Richard Simmons TOTALLY clears up any misconceptions that any of my family members might have had!

“The Tank” misses the innocent days of Richard Simmons, oh what good times we all shared. Of course Tucker, you were just excercising, just like I really operate a floral business.

Ohhh, Trixie, you are goodness personified (dogified?)! You are good enough to wear that stupid smurf hat, and THEN listen to Richard Simmons (who has DALMATIANS) carry on about the burn and all that. Me, I would leave town first. I wish you would get on a bus, Trixie, and come to live with me in Minnesota. We could play in the snow all winter and have a good time and you would NEVER see a smurf or a smurf hat or RICHARD SIMMONS, ever!
Think about it.
Your friend,

Tucker the evidence does speak for itself. You should never give any reason for Richard to come over.
