Are Your Ears Burning? – Conversations with the Big Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Baby and Bud: Tweet. Tweet. (Quiet chattering.)

Me: Hey, Sweetie, Doodle, are your ears burning?

Sweetie: Burning ears! PUT ‘EM OUT! PUT ‘EM OUT!

Me: Not real fire. I mean I think the parakeets are talking about you.

Doodlebug: Lady Human was using a bizarre phrase, one of those sets of words that make no sense.

Sweetie: Well, she needs to stop doing that and speak plainly so a bulldog can understand.

MoonCat: Even without weird human expressions, that may be impossible.
