Who Threw Dirt in the Sky? – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Aaah-choo! Unacceptable, Lady Human! Absolutely unacceptable!

Sweetie: Who messed up the sky? It is a funny brownish color. It is making my nose itch. Don’t tell me. Let me guess. Humans did it.

Me: Well, actually…

Sweetie: Don’t try to shirk your responsibility, ma’am. We know who causes these problems.

MoonCat: We know it’s not cats.

Me: The color is caused by dust in the air stirred up by high winds these last few days. It’s as though half of west Texas got blown over here.

Doodlebug: Then half of west Texas can take it back. I will issue a royal edict.

Sweetie: Yeah, that always works.
