I’ll give it a go… so a stickler is someone who expects accuracy/perfection right? So he’s being accurate when he says seeing a Polar bear and Penguin actually speaking will be so shocking it’ll blow your mind. IDK. Best I could come up with.
Every dog I’ve ever had would eagerly crowd around me when I made a salad hoping for tidbits (which they always got!) Some dogs were pickier than others. Nobody really liked celery, though. Can’t blame them. ;-)
His dog must not have a penchant for chasing squirrels.
