Cooking Something Up – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: You are frowning, Lady Human. Your face has gone all bulldoggy.

Me: I’m trying to cook something up, a new idea for a project I’m working on.

Doodlebug: Can we eat some of it? Like all of it?

Sweetie: I love the stuff you cook up. Mmmm….

Me: It’s not that kind of cooking.

MoonCat: Save your breathe, ma’am. They’re already floating off into a dreamy bulldog feast.

Roosting – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, that big loud fancy bird outside is acting weird.

Sweetie: Yeah, it’s pretending to be a parakeet and is sitting on a stick.

Me: He is a rooster and he is roosting.

Doodlebug: How come we can’t do that?

Me: Your feet aren’t made the same way.

Doodlebug: How come?

Me: For so it seemed good to the Great Creator.

MoonCat: Flat sturdy ground beneath my delicate little feet. So it seems good to me, too.
