Sky Fans – Conversations with Doodlebug and Sweetie

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Complaint!

Me: What else is new?

Doodlebug: It’s hot, Lady Human.

Me: Yes, I noticed that.

Sweetie: The sky fans aren’t pulling their weight.

Me: The ceiling fans are turned on full blast.

Sweetie: Not good enough!

Doodlebug: We need more sky fans. There! And there! And there! And…

Me: Sorry. There’s no more room for more ceiling fans. We’ll just have to make do.

Sweetie: Make do? Is that another human failure thing?

Why Shouldn’t Bulldogs Have Good Manners? – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: Why are you banging your metal bowls around?

Sweetie: Because they are empty.

Me: That’s because you already ate your supper.

Doodlebug: They do make a nice sound when they knock together.

Me: Not at midnight, they don’t. Y’all need better manners.

Doodlebug: Since when?

Sweetie: Yeah, we’re bulldogs. We don’t need no silly manners.

MoonCat: That right there says all you need to know about bulldogs.

Sit! – Conversations with Doodlebug

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: Sit.

Doodlebug: I beg your pardon.

Me: Sit!

Doodlebug: Well, that was rude!

Me: Nothing rude about it. You’re my dog. I need you to sit so I can trim your nails. Sit!

Doodlebug: I don’t believe you have the right to tell me how to use my legs…

Me: SIT!

Doodlebug: Oh, all right! But you sure have a way of making “sit” sound like a dirty word.
