I am the human commonly referred to among the bulldogs as Lady Human.
Stella: Hey, that’s my spot. Get out of my spot, Lady Human! I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges and…
Snoopey: What?
Tiger: Who?
Wiggles: Bark…bark……bark…bark.
Doodlebug: What?
Miss Sweetie: Hey! Huh! What?
Me: Okay, please stop. You sound like a bunch of popcorn kernels going off.
Wiggles: Popcorn? Mmmmm!
Stella: When?
Tiger: Where? How?
Snoopey: Ruff…..Ruff…Ruff. Ruff.
Me: You see! Some of that doesn’t even make any sense.
Doodlebug: Sense? What? What? What?
Tiger: How? When? Where? What?
Wiggles: Someone said popcorn.
Snoopey: Look! Look!
Stella: At what?
Snoopey: Nothing.
Miss Sweetie: Looking. I see nothing. Where’s the popcorn?
Me: There is no popcorn.
Stella: I distinctly heard someone say popcorn. Was it you, Tiger?
Me: How could anyone hear anything with all this barking? You bark and then she barks and then he barks and then you bark again.
Stella: Yep.
Miss Sweetie: Why?
Stella: Why what, Sweetie?
Miss Sweetie: Why is there no popcorn?
Tiger: Exactly. Ruuuuffff!
Miss Sweetie: I will bark until there is popcorn. Ruff…Ruff…Ruff…
Me: Noooo! Please don’t! Look! I’ll get you treats or supplements or something if it will calm you all down. No more popcorn barking.
Snoopey: Where did she go?
Stella: To the kitchen. You see. I told you it would work.
Miss Sweetie: Aunt Stella, you’re the best.
Stella: Okay, Sweetie, you can stop barking now.
Miss Sweetie: Why?
