Staring Contest – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: What’s going on? Are y’all having a staring contest?

Sweetie: Shhhh! We’re having a staring contest.

Me: That’s what I thought. As long as it doesn’t turn into bulldog fight.

Doodlebug: Why would we interrupt a staring contest with a fight?

Sweetie: Yeah, we can’t fight with our eyes. Can we?

Doodlebug: Don’t look at me like that!

Sweetie: Don’t you look at me like that!

Me: Break it up. Contest over.

MoonCat: I win.
