Sadly, the dog represents many of us in our own insecurities about ourselves compared to others. His corrupting the names to a more diminutive simile in many ways reflects his own feelings of self.
Golden retrievers range from white to dark red or brown, but they are all “golden retrievers.” Fewer are bred in the US for their retrieving skills anymore, more for pets.
For some reason, this reminds me of a story I heard about a college graduate recently inducted into the military who referred to an ‘avocation’ he had. His sergeant swiftly corrected him: “Officers have avocations. Noncoms have hobbies. You’re just fooling around.”

Being a psychoanalyst, even a dog psychoanalyst, must be one of the most boring jobs in the world.

Life was simpler when we just sniffed each other’s butt and then played together.

Rusty fetcher? Reminds me of the Venture Brothers episode where they were debating what a “Rusty Venture” (the father’s full name) is innuendo for.
