Staring Contest – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug. King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: Okay, y’all, what’s going on?

Sweetie: Nothing.

Doodlebug: Nothing.

Me: You are staring at each other. I don’t want this to break out in a fight.

Sweetie: No fight. This is a contest.

Doodlebug: Yeah, who will give up first?

Me: Okay. What’s the prize?

Sweetie: Prize?

Me: Yeah, what’s the winner get?

Sweetie: Winners get something?

Me: Usually yeah, if only bragging rights.

Doodlebug: How do bragging rights taste?

MoonCat: Pretty good.
