It’s 2000 and apparently there’s something fascinating offscreen.

It’s 1999 and Pooh Bear would like to know what exactly that ‘dog’ thing is and how long it’s going to stay.

The answer was “not long enough”, and also “about 15 years”, in case anyone was wondering.

It’s 1995 and shhhh, ‘X-Files’ is on.

I hope The Smoking Man’s in this one.

It’s 2001 and somebody has a new friend.

It’s 1999 and Tucker would very much like to be let into the vegetable patch pretty please with sugar on top.

It’s 1999 and I’m teaching Tucker how to unwrap Christmas presents.

It’s 1998 and some muppets are getting a belly rub.

It’s 1997 and somebody is wearing my shirt.

Hint: It’s not the dog.

It’s 1999 and Tucker would like you to state your business before he will let you talk to his mom.

It’s the entire 1980s and am I a boy who likes to sit with dogs while reading, or a boy who likes to read while sitting with dogs?

… Yes.

Things haven’t changed all that much since then, either, other than what form the books take. Oh, and now there are cats involved, too.
