Marching in Place – Conversations with the Big Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: Hey, what’s all the foot action?

Sweetie: Can’t bulldogs pretend to be marching without a thousand questions?

Me: You’re marching in place? Cute. I’ll bet you learned that from watching the birds march in step up and down their perches.

Bud and Baby: 1 ack, 2 ack, 3 ack, 4 ack.

Doodlebug: 1 ack, 2 ack, 3, ack, 4…

Sweetie: Cut the birdie talk, Doodle. It’s undignified.

Doodlebug: It helps me keep time.

Sweetie: No fair. They copied us.

MoonCat: Let me try a cadence. Bulldogs, about face! March! 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, down the hall and through the door!
