I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, you need to give Wiggles some of your clothes.
Me: Why?
Stella: She is running around naked.
Me: Technically, so are you. So are all of you.
Stella: Nonsense. I am covered with hair. I am never naked. That is my natural state. But just look at Wiggles. She is naked on both sides.
Me: Yeah, she’s blown her coat again. That happens about once a year with her. A good number of dogs blow their coats going from winter into spring. Her coat is a lot thinner than yours so when she loses hair, her skin shows through.
Wiggles: Where did my hair get off to?
Me: Check the ground.
Wiggles: Please sweep it up and stick it back on, Lady Human. Stella keeps calling me naked like that’s something bad. Is that bad?
Me: Well, you’re only missing some hair on your sides. It’s growing back in.
Wiggles: My sides do feel a little breezy when the wind blows. Maybe I should go naked all the time, especially in the hot season.
Stella: NOOOO!!! Nobody wants to see that! Cover it up! Cover it up! Somebody, find my sweater!
