Aren’t We Your Friends, Too? – Conversations with Stella and the Pack

• 

I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges. You sneaked out on us again, Lady Human.

Wiggles:  Yeah, I can smell the food all over you.

Miss Sweetie:  You ate without us? Awww.

Doodlebug:  Now I feel sad. And hungry.

Me:  Here’s your food.

Stella:  Where did you go?

Me:  I met a friend of mine for dinner.

Stella:  Aren’t we your friends, too?

Me:  Sure, but…

Wiggles:  But we are not good enough friends to eat with you at a human food place. Awww.

Me:  Can you imagine me walking into a restaurant with 4 bulldogs?

Miss Sweetie:  I can.

Doodlebug:  Me, too. I can see it now in my big bulldog mind.

Miss Sweetie:  What’s a restaurant? Can I go?

Me:  Come on, y’all. Be reasonable.

Stella:  Reasonable? You’ve forgotten who you’re talking to.
