In the movie "Groundhog Day", Bill Murray's loathsome character has to relive Groundhog Day over and over until he finally becomes someone with "patience, understanding and love". It seems to me the day Wilbur brings home a new pet might be the perfect beginning of such a lesson for him. Oh, never mind. Considering how often we've seen Wilbur relive his history, only to completely miss the lesson, I think the Karma Police have given up on him. It might be "curtains" for Pierre after all, even though he is clearly a savvy canine, what with his apparent understanding of an odd American human idiom ("curtains")that was last uttered by James Cagney around 1943.
LouiseF, I don't know if Pierre was picking up on the curtains idiom or just reacting to the overall vibe of evil idiocy emanating from Wilbur. I hope that you are right about Pierre's savviness, though, and that he will figure out how to free himself from his despicable "master."
Didn’t something like this happen with Maddie, causing an estrangement with Greta until she crept into bed at midnight to lap up Maddie’s delicious tears?
Wilbur’s going to regret the loss of those rubber soled slippers as he slips and falls on Pierre’s home coming gift. No, Wilbur, you don’t give your dog an entire rotisserie chicken. And, no, Wilbur, you can’t expect Pierre to use a litter box just because you saw Libby using one.
Pierre: “Alors, monsieurs et mesdames! Eet ees ze pleasure of me to eenform you zat after ze terrible time in chien shelter, where I had no access to le blood, I have been brought to ze house of a bloody man! He eez vairy bloody, but weeth skeen like hide of rhinoceros. So I spent ze night practising on les leather shoes of him, after wheech my vampire fangs bite through hees skeen like hoarded toilet papier! Hopefully!”

After spending all night asleep, Wilbur might find a different surprise from Pierre than chewed shoes.
How heart warming - an 11x17 portrait of Dawn in 5th grade.
Frenchies are small dogs. The relative size of shoe to dog indicates that Wilbur may buy his shoes in the children’s department.

Gram liked colors, is all I’m sayin.
When I first got my dog from the shelter, he had so much anxiety being by himself that he ate through drywall. I wish this upon Wilbur

I thought I was the only one who had noticed that those were vampire fangs, not dog canines. I'm so glad I wasn't.
My older Tibetan mastiff has so far eaten, among other things

And
My new passport.
She isn't done yet.
Alas, poor Drapey! I knew him, Weelburtio. A fellow of infinite dress of most dependent whimsy.
