I once had a friend/co-worker who had a gift for being glib and sarcastic.
Every so often when you’d poke a shot in his direction, he’d say “You hurt my feelings!”.
My reply would invariably be “I wasn’t aware hunger really counted as a feeling.”
Satchel’s feelings are very reasonable, for a dog. Especially since Rob probably feeds him some crappy Vegan dog food… not good things like Bacon, Ham, Sausage, etc.
Bucky’s not much more complicated as his feelings could be boiled down to annoyance at others not giving him his (imagined) due and the warm glow caused by basking in the sunlight of his own ego.
Why would he get thirsty? There’s lots and lots of water in the dog watering (toilet) bowl so he can slake his thirst quickly so it doesn’t bother him so much that it becomes memorable.
That’s precisely why I retired – so I could write my memoirs to talk about everyone else. Otherwise, I’m just plain, old and boring. I do look in the mirror and laugh a lot. Then I read about Satchel and I laugh even more. You make my day, guys! Our local Rabbitville Gazette newspaper stopped carrying Get Fuzzy, so we go online here to find you. Hear yeah, hear me.
Satchel knows Snarling Shar Pei style Kung-Fu. He’s just too polite to haul it out most of the time. But when he does, and lays a beat down, he still apologizes. It’s his Canadian half.

This SO reminded me of a Far Side cartoon in which Tarzan is contemplating what to write in his diary. Each preceding day’s entry is “oongawa!”

As they say on those GEICO commercials…… ‘if you’re a dog you get hungry……. that’s what you do’

On a related note, an acronym I often say to myself that has carried me through life is as follows:
