I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Me: Stella, please explain to me what Doodlebug is doing.
Stella: Isn’t that obvious? He is wrestling a tree.
Me: Doodle, why are you fighting that little tree?
Doodlebug: It…is…stubborn. It… won’t… give… me… its…leaves.
Me: How…come…you…need…its…leaves?
Doodlebug: I…don’t…know.

Me: Well, you are dogged. I’ll give you that.
Stella: Oh, he’s dogged. He’s a bulldog.
Me: Dogged means determined, not giving up.
Stella: Like I said. Why are you repeating me? Dogged bulldog.
