Me: Am I surprised?
Stella: If you are, you shouldn’t be. Have you seen how much dirt is in this here house?
Me: As a matter of fact…
Stella: Where does dirt come from?
Me: In case you haven’t noticed, dirt is everywhere we walk. The whole earth is made of the stuff in one form or another.
Stella: That’s fine for outside…
Me: I agree.
Stella: But why are you bringing it inside?
Me: Before you point the paw at me, check your feet.
Stella: My feet are fine…oh, what’s that stuck to my toes?
Me: TTiny pieces of the earth that accompanied you inside.
Stella: Well, you can tell those earth pieces to get right back outside where they belong.
Me: I’ll sweep them out.
Stella: And while you’re at it, sweep your feet. And mine. Dirt and bulldogs don’t mix.
