Adorable.
Dad, what are you doing?
Oh, nothing.
Just watching some viral vids, staying woke.
I was also updating my profile, too.
Feel free to accept my friend request when,
oh, okay.
Okay, keep an open mind, Carl.
Don't go for the first thing--
Oh my goodness.
Hello, little guy.
Oh, hey buddy.
You are a beautiful animal.
Look at you.
His name's Rocky.
My baby girl's favorite ice cream is rocky road.
Well that's clearly a sign.
Right, that's what I was trying to tell you.
Right. Yeah, no, I get it.
Okay.
I love you.
Rocky's like, I love you too!
Oh, what's that?
You love me too?
Just so you know,
VCA provides a free first exam if you adopt.
Yeah, let's do this.
Let me go get the papers.
Okay.
We're a family now.
Hey, Louise?
Lou?
Lou, I got a surprise for you.
You're gonna love it.
Louise?
Ugh.
Come on.
Is it another stuffed animal?
Dad, I'm not five anymore.
Wait.
His name--
Is he real?
His name's Rocky.
Oh, Dad, he's amazing.
You two can go and solve mysteries together, you know?
Oh, I should get a video
of you two being little silly geese.
Dad.
Where's my phone?
Dad, I'd love to hang with Rocky, but--
Okay, well, uh...
I was right in the middle of my art project.
Come on, Lou.
It's not like they're gonna hold you back
because your painting sucks.
I'm not saying it's...
if it, if it's...
Good thing you match the furniture.
My teacher's going to love this.
Rocky, sit.
Don't stand up.
Please, Rocky, please sit.
Hey Lou, Dad's incoming.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Oh, look at this guy.
There he is.
You're painting Rocky.
Technically yes, but he won't sit still.
That's amazing.
I can help.
He'll sit for me.
Sit.
That's actually perfect.
Okay, okay.
The artist assistant.
Calm down, Dad.
Guess it's all right that Rocky's nude, right?
That's pretty common in paintings.
So not to interrupt, but uh,
I can't feel my knee.
But my elbow's good again.
Back in business.
Fine.
I need to grab another brush anyhow.
All right.
It's not easy painting this guy, Dad.
I thought hands were hard, but that mane is no joke.
We'll finish this up later, okay?
Sounds like you need a haircut, buddy.
And Rocky's almost done.
This is gonna be so much better
for my daughter's paintings.
Like finger painting?
What?
No, she's worked up about this, uh,
this high school art project of hers.
You know, when we met you said baby girl.
I did?
Totally did.
Well, that doesn't sound right, but
look at this.
That is amazing.
You know, um...
What?
VCA is looking for a local pet owner
to design a mural that promotes adoption.
Would she be interested?
Are you kidding?
Of course.
That'd be incredible.
Okay, well let me ask around.
Okay.
Ooh, look who's all shorn up and looking handsome.
Oh, wow.
Rocky, I barely recognize you.
I know. It's like one of those online dates
where you see their picture
and then you show up and it's like--
And they look nothing like the picture.
Totally.
Its the worst.
It is the worst.
Absolutely.
Oh.
I was right in the middle of painting him.
He looks totally different.
Well, I wouldn't say total...
Okay, you're right,
but he's the same Rocky underneath, right?
You can put his hair in front of his eyes.
I mean, you got the same Rock.
Forget it.
Forget the whole thing.
Trying to be a painter is a stupid dream anyway.
Lou.
Lou, come on.
Lou,
Lou, the door's locked.
All right, okay.
Here we go, Rocky.
Here we go. We're gonna get this taken care of.
Dr. Sally, Dr. Sally, we need to paste the hair back on.
Carl?
There's gotta be something we can do, right?
Prenatal vitamins?
Hair extensions?
Your hair?
Similar color.
We could maybe make some kind of exchange happen.
Okay, we're gonna put the dog down.
What?
Uh, on the ground.
Oh, oh, right.
Okay, is this really such a big deal
that you need to be coming in here asking for my hair?
I messed up the painting.
Oh, wait.
Do you have another dog?
Another dog that looks just like Rocky
before he got his hair cut?
Yeah, let me check my inventory.
Really?
Oh, no.
I'm sorry.
I forgot I can't joke with you.
We don't do that here,
and no one else does so don't go asking other places.
I thought this would bring me and Louise closer together.
Instead it
just became another reason for her to hate me.
You didn't mess up, okay?
If you didn't bring Rocky in,
you would've never shown me Louise's work.
And if you never would've shown me her work,
I couldn't tell you the good news
that we have selected her to paint our mural.
Wait, when were you gonna tell me that?
Oh, I was just like busy.
I was probably gonna tell you after work.
You're forgiven because that's fantastic news!
I love you!
Yeah!
I don't love you.
I don't love you either.
Oh.
That's great.
Oh, thank goodness.
Okay.
Well, I have to go back to work. Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you, Dr. Sally.
Dr. Sally, if you could just scooch just,
just another inch.
I'll crop it out.
Louise, this is amazing.
You should be so proud.
Thanks, Dr. Sally.
Yes, thank you, too.
You're the best.
Ooh.
Oh.
Allergies.
Allergy season's terrible.
It's a human thing.
I know what allergies are.
You know, I've been known
to doodle a dog or two back in my day.
Just a paint chip off the old block, huh?
Oh.
Oh, dang it.
Okay.
I'm just gonna take some more photos.
I'll just be over here.
I told you Rocky's hair would grow back.
Too soon.
You're right.
Oh, you guys got it.
You read my mind.
Oh, wait, this is a video.
Oh, a video of me.
