I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, I have a complaint.
Sweetie: Stand in line! Lady Human, something is wrong. It is oh so cold IN THE HOUSE!
Doodlebug: Exactly! I know you humans do not manage the temperature outside very well, but at least inside it’s sometimes tolerable.
Me: Well, we’ve experienced something called an Arctic bomb cyclone.
Sweetie: I don’t care what it’s called. I call it stupid. Make it stop!
MoonCat: Meow!
Doodlebug: See! Even the cat says so and she never agrees with us on anything.
Me: The problem is that our central heating unit is not working right…
Sweetie: How come?
Me: I don’t know, but for the time being, we have our room heaters and we will make do.
Doodlebug: Make do? What is that? Yet another kind of human failure?
Me: Actually, it means we will get through this all right as uncomfortable as it may be for the short term.
Sweetie: Yep. Human failure.
Me: Hey, y’all did all right last night. You had your blankets and the little heater and I heard snoring all night long…
MoonCat: Meow. Make do.
Doodlebug: Bulldogs rule. We don’t “make do”. That’s for cats and humans.
