As a life-long-lover of fur babies, this particular plot disaster gets me every time... to me, it is equivalent to switching children! The writers are obviously NOT dog lovers. Anyone with a speck of brain activitiy KNOWS that you cannot switch a dog without consequences. They are unique! 8 Link to comment
historylover820 December 9, 2021 Share December 9, 2021 Probably because we live in the real world where there are consequences. You know, when I entertain the fantasy that my life is like the Truman Show, I always remember that I face consequences, unlike TV characters on a melodrama. 4 Link to comment
CrystalBlue December 9, 2021 Share December 9, 2021 Gary is an idiot. Despite Colin not really being Gary's dog because he pulled the switcheroo with the real owner lady, he should've stopped off on their way out of town to get Colin for a road trip! Instead he just assumes that Eddie will be there to care for him instead of asking first. 6 Link to comment

It was the writers trying to make Gary and Maggie not seem so terrible or something. It clearly didn't work. 4 Link to comment

Colin the dog is really Wesley, the elderly lady's missing dog. Gary thought he was returning Colin back to the owner, but Maggie actually pulled the switcheroo and she and Gary gave the woman a dog named Maurice from the shelter, telling her it was Wesley. The real Wesley now named Colin went home with Gary. Edited December 10, 2021 by CrystalBlue Link to comment

I was saying that a few episodes after that Gary went back to the owner's house to help her with something and she told him she knew the dog she got back wasn't her original dog. But she loved the new dog and was totally okay with it being a replacement. I went back and watched the scene, it is in S02, E09, Time Stands Still. I'm not sure she realized Maggie and Gary did it intentionally, but she definitely knew she didn't have her real dog and didn't mind. 1 1 Link to comment

SunnyBeBe December 13, 2021 Share December 13, 2021 (edited) Maybe, Maggie and Gary will go to visit that disturbed lady and never return….just disappear…..the lady says she hasn’t seen them. 😉 And Sophie hits the road touring with a band and leaves word, she’s fine be back next year. Let them bring in some new characters. They are needed, but so are new writers for this sad little show. Edited December 13, 2021 by SunnyBeBe 4 Link to comment

I agree, and I’d say this is a very big problem for a writer. Sure, there’s “write what you know,” Nash, ya big galoot, but research is also a thing. 1 Link to comment
