It's a three day weekend. Buddy has made arrangements for him and Pickles to go to Niagara Falls as a belated honeymoon, but doesn't know what to do about his German shepherd Larry. Without discussing it first with Laura, Rob reluctantly agrees to look after Larry. But when Rob arrives home with Larry in hand, he overhears Laura telling Ritchie that she and Rob confer on everything that affects the three of them before making a decision. That declaration by Laura makes Rob's job of telling her about Larry all the more difficult, especially as Laura and Ritchie wanted their family to go away for the weekend as well. As Rob and Laura negotiate on what to do about Larry, one more problem arises: Ritchie is afraid of Larry. Rob does whatever he can to ingratiate Larry into Laura and Ritchie's psyches, at least for the weekend.
