Pecking Order – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, that boy chicken is about to get my goat.

Me: The rooster. Boy chickens are called roosters. I named him Roo-roo.

Sweetie: If he keeps pecking at me, you can name him Pancake as in “flat as a”!

Doodlebug: A rooster pancake. Hmmm.

MoonCat: Hmmm. Pancake the Rooster or a rooster pancake. Nope, not on my agenda.
