Just watching Theo now, I'm realizing how horribly he has been shortchanged in the karmic sweepstakes. As have we all, yes, but Theo does have it rough. He's eternally matched with dogs with stronger personalities. Now, I have for a long time believed that Theo was Jim Morrison reincarnated, based mostly on his long hair and fondness for panties, but if that's true it sheds a new and unsettling light on Morrison's personality, the kind of light that biographers must look at quite harshly. 
Theo is a sidekick. He can't help it. He came along as Toby was getting older, and Toby was the coolest dog ever, in the history of the world. Yeah, you may think you know a cool dog - Toby was cooler. Sorry. Among other things, whenever people started playing music in the house, Toby would sit behind the lead guitar and twitch his ears in time. No lie. I miss Toby horribly. Toby - well, shit. Toby. Toby was John Lennon. 
Toby died, and I miss him every day. Then along came Jackson. Jackson is certifiable, there's no doubt about that. He's completely fucking insane and a royal pain in the ass. But, he's larger than life. He's like Kurt Cobain. He's a force of nature. So, you know, Jim Morrison always has to take second string to John Lennon and Kurt Cobain. It's painful, but it's true.
