Waste Not, Want Not – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, those long sticks look yucky. Throw them away.

Me: First off, since when does a bulldog think anything looks yucky. Secondly, these carrots can be made into a soup or baked in a casserole, so no, I will not waste them.

Doodlebug: But they’re all limp and saggy and smooshy and…yellowy brown.

Me: But they’re not bad. Waste not, want not.

MoonCat: I definitely “want not”.
