Prince Charming’s human sent me a note advising that the Dogfather was not deaf.

Like me, his age is causing a gradual drop in aural acuity. Like me, there may be a certain selectivity regarding who and what we hear and when.

Dinner call – yes, I can hear you! Instructions to act our age and behave – huh, what?

In any event the note was accompanied by some recent photos of Prince Charming that are worth sharing. Here’s more Prince for you to enjoy:

We start with the Dogfather enjoying a fine Cuban cigar that looks suspiciously like a jerky treat.

It was Barzini all along.

Clearly Prince is not deaf. He’s probably just a little hard of hearing from having the Bose cranked up too high for too long.

Fat bottom dogs they make the rocking world go round.

All things considered, Prince is a quite active for his age and when presented the opportunity will run free across the vast and verdant Hawaii prairie lands like the Tatonka of yore.

I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. With my giant dirty left paw.

And finally, our tribute to Max’s good buddy ends with a glamour shot.  Say the following in a deep, resonant voice just like in a movie trailer: “In a world where dogs were meek and mild and easily intimidated, one dog stood above the rest. They called him…the  “Dogfather.”

Out standing in his field.
