I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. LOUD!
Me: Yes, you are.

Sweetie: Not us. Lady Human! Tall Man is pushing around the Monster Machine! LOUDER THAN US!

Baby and Bud: LOUD!
Me: Okay, I’ll shut the door and we’ll wait it out in here. He’s just getting the dust and dirt up. You want that, don’t you?
Sweetie: We’ll keep the dust.
Doodlebug: We’ll keep the dirt.

MoonCat: Yes, dust and dirt are a whole lot quieter, if you forget about the coughing and the sneezing.
