I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: REALLY? IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY? WHAT WAS THAT HUGE BOOM NOISE?
Me: Stay back! Let me check. Quiet down. A man is speaking through a bullhorn.
Doodlebug: How did a human get a bull to let him use his horn?
Me: It’s a device that makes your voice louder. It’s the police. I can’t make out what he’s saying. He’s pausing after he talks. It’s pitch dark outside. I can’t see a thing. No flashing lights or nothing.
Sweetie: I’ll bet you dimes to donuts it’s humans acting up. Bulldogs would never be this rude.
Me: Where did you hear “dimes to donuts”?
Sweetie: Tall Man. He knows everything.
Me: Well, he’s still asleep, so he doesn’t know about this. There’s nothing to do here. We’ll find out later. I’m going back to bed.

MoonCat: Sanity prevails.
