I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Sweetie: Lady Human, you look funny. Are you okay?
Me: Yeah, I think so. I just need to breathe…
Doodlebug: Sit down, ma’am! That’s an order! I am the King, like I told you.
Me: All right. Sitting down. Breathing.
Sweetie: You don’t look so funny anymore.
MoonCat: If sitting and breathing could get rid of funny-looking, that’s what bulldogs should do all the time.

Sweetie: Hey, Doodle, back up! Don’t breathe my air! It’s mine! Get your own!
Me: We are all breathing whatever air is in this space. It’s Doodlebug’s air, too.
Doodlebug: Thank you, Lady Human, for defending my airspace.
Me: There’s plenty for everyone.
MoonCat: Let’s see. The air in this room divided among one human, one cat, two parakeets, and two giant-nosed, big-mouthed bulldogs equals…somebody open a window.

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. (Snore)
Sweetie: Why does Doodlebug snore so loud?
MoonCat: A question to which we all want the answer.
Me: Vibrations. He breathes through a narrow place in his nose and throat and the vibrations produce sound.
Sweetie: It’s so loud. I’m glad I don’t do that.
MoonCat: Hah!
Me: Actually you do. And I don’t mind. It means you’re breathing.
Doodlebug: Huh? What? Breathing in and out? Okay. I can do that. Good.
