I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges. Where are you going, Lady Human? It’s bedtime.
Me: I’ve got to put some things away.
Stella: Too late. Stay!
Me: I set my own schedule.
Stella: Nope. Nighttime. Stay!
Me: Are you telling me to stay? I think you’ve got that turned around. I tell you to stay.
Stella: This leg of mine says otherwise.
Me: Stella…move your leg.
Stella: I will.
Me: When?
Stella: When you stay. Or when I fall fast asleep. Whichever comes first. So…snore…
