I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Me: Have you reconsidered your hesitancy about your new sleeping pad?
Doodlebug: Does hesitancy mean fear?
Me: Sometimes. But it can also mean caution. Maybe if you would just try it…
Doodlebug: So it could swallow me up and suck me into a cave in the ground? NO! THANK YOU!
Me: Once again, allow me to say, THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!
Doodlebug: We shall see.
Me: Yes, we certainly shall. Meanwhile…
Doodlebug: Meanwhile, since you went to all the trouble to get it for me, I will politely place one paw on the edge of it. Just one. Just on the edge.
Me: That’s all I ask. Just try it. You’ll like it.
Doodlebug: We shall see. But if it grabs my foot, we shall see a new sleeping pad torn into tiny little pieces as it so richly deserves.
