A Bathroom Just for Us – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, Tall Man has brought a monster dirt-sucking machine inside and it sounds horrible.

Me: Yeah, but not for long. He is doing a huge renovation on the main bathroom. That means it will be like new.

Sweetie: A new bathroom just for us! Great!

Doodlebug: I can’t believe it! Our own bathroom!

Me: Well now, it’s not for y’all…

Sweetie: I’ve waited my whole life…

MoonCat: Sharing a bathroom with bulldogs has never been on my list of things to do. It still isn’t.

Why is There a Tree in Our House? – Conversations with Doodlebug and Sweetie

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, someone has made a mistake and brought a dead tree into our house.

Sweetie: No, they did it on purpose. They do this all the time.

Me: Not really. Just once a year. It’s Christmas.

Doodlebug: Did you bring it inside so the little birds could play on it?

Sweetie: Did you bring it in so it wouldn’t get wet and cold?

Me: No, it’s a traditional decoration for Christmas. You’ve seen them before. Not a big deal.

Sweetie: Uh, a tree in our house? Looks like a big deal to me.

Doodlebug: So if it keeps raining, can I just hike my leg and…

Me and Sweetie: NO!

Litter Box Privileges – Conversations with MoonCat

Me: MoonCat? What are you doing all the way back here?

MoonCat: Exploring the wonderful bulldog-free mysteries of this palace.

Me: Well, It’s not exactly a palace…

MoonCat: It has rooms, floors, halls, doors, and this lovely litter box cubicle. Of course, it’s a palace. And no bulldogs.

Me: Well, every once in a while they wander in here.

MoonCat: Don’t spoil it for me, Lady Human.

Me: And this is my bathroom, not a litter box cubicle.

MoonCat: You could have fooled me.
