I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges and I just saw the most wonderful thing on the Picture Box. Dogs were driving a human rolling box and bulldogs were giving it a bath. I knew the day would come.
Miss Sweetie: Can we do that?
Me: That was a commercial. Dogs washing cars and driving cars are not real things.
Tiger: BUT I SAW IT!
Doodlebug: IT IS REAL! EVERYTHING ON THE PICTURE BOX IS REAL!
Wiggles: I can wash the rolling box with my tongue. I am sure my tongue is big enough for the job. Does the rolling box taste like chicken feed? I like chicken feed. And eggs. I really like eggs.
Me: No, and none of you are going to wash the car, though I’ll admit that it needs it. And I admit that the mental image of bulldogs washing a car is cute.
Stella: Cute?
Tiger: Cute?
Doodlebug: Cute?
Wiggles: Cute?
Miss Sweetie: I’m cute.
Stella: Bulldogs are dignified. And stalwart. And persistent. We are not cute. That’s just plain insulting, Lady Human. Forget the whole thing. If helping you by driving and washing the so-called car is going to get us called ‘cute’, you can just do those things by yourself.
