I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Me: And I’ve noticed something about Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Stella: Whatever it is, I am sure it is interesting.
Me: How come you don’t eat when the others do?
Stella: Sure, I do. You pass out the food. We eat.
Me: But the others gobble theirs down right away. You always wait until you’ve been outside first. Then you come back in and that’s when you pay attention to your food.
Stella: That’s because I have finer manners than the others. Uh, don’t tell them that I said that.
Me: Okay, I won’t.
Stella: But I do have finer manners. I eat slowly, and I don’t knock my food on the floor and, besides, I have to work up an appetite before I chow down like a chow hound. Woo-hoo!
Me: That’s fine. I skip morning breakfast now myself. I don’t eat until noon.
Stella: What? Wait! You aren’t saying that I should until you eat…
Me: No, not at all. You will get fed at the same time as everybody else. You can eat it whenever you want. I’ll eat when I want.
Stella: We eat two times a day. Once you start eating, you eat all the time ‘til you fall asleep. Don’t deny it. I’ve seen you at night. Watching that little box in your hand and popping cheese and fat corn into your mouth.
Me: You mean popcorn?
Stella: Yeah, fat, luscious popcorn… and wonderful, savory cheese.
Me: That’s how I wind down at night.
Stella: Maybe you should wind down earlier, and without popcorn and cheese.
