I, Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges, hereby command all humans to BE SILENT!
Me: What is this about?
Stella: Who were those loud people that Tall Man was listening to last night?
Me: Loud people?
Stella: They talked and talked, on and on and on. It sounded like an argument. A boring human argument that went on and on and on…
Me: Oh, that was a debate between political candidates.
Stella: You didn’t listen to it.
Me: No, I was tired and a political debate was only going to make me more so.
Stella: Political debate? What is ‘political debate’?
Me: You know how you and the other bulldogs get face-to-face and huff and puff and rumble and growl at each other…
Stella: …and spit and go stiff-legged and tremble. Yes. Fun! Exciting!
Me: Especially when two of you are vying for a position in the pack.
Stella: You mean those two humans are fighting to become pack leader?
Me: Yeah, you might say so.
Stella: I did say so. I didn’t know that humans chose pack leaders that way, too.
Me: Well, humans don’t bare their teeth and snort the way bulldogs do. No, wait. I take that back.
Stella: Humans snort? That’s great! Show me!
Me: I’m not big into snorting.
Stella: Then you may never be pack leader among the humans. That is a shame.
Me: Having spent some time now as human pack leader among the bulldogs, I’m not sure I have enough energy left over to handle humans, too.
Stella: Will there be more political debates?
Me: So I understand.
Stella: Can Tall Man turn down the sound next time? The noise hurts my ears.

Bulldoggy 
this is cute! we were also tuned into the debate, myself, my husband and Strop (our OEB) were getting angry and annoyed by it all. We ended up turning off the tv and all is well with Strop afterwards. He was not running wild anymore… it’s funny the tall man was also freaking him out with his loud talking.
