Never Running Late – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: What are you doing, Lady Human?

Me: I’m running late. That’s what I’m doing.

Doodlebug: But you’re not running.

Sweetie: And what is “late”? Is this one of those human clock words? Why don’t you give all those up?

Doodlebug: Yeah, be like us. You’re not late so long as our stomachs aren’t rumbling.

MoonCat: Yes, forget all else. Bulldog stomachs come first at all times.
