Tromping the Same Ole Ground – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, I heard humans talking about taking a trip to some other place. Let’s do that.

Me: Easier said than done sometimes.

Sweetie: But tromping around on the same ole ground is SO BORING!

Doodlebug: Yeah, but it’s OUR ground and that makes it special.

Sweetie: Maybe if you threw a few more treats around, it would get interesting again.

MoonCat: Bribery makes a lot of things more interesting. It’s a good thing I’m not so easily bought.

Bribery, Trickery, and Deceit – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Okay, what are you up to, Lady Human?

Me: Up to? Whatever do you mean?

Sweetie: I saw you fooling around with our softie food. You hid something in it, didn’t you?

Me: Would I do that?

Doodlebug: Absolutely!

Sweetie: Yes, without question!

MoonCat: Do I even need to answer that?

Me: Don’t you want this wonderful smelling treat? Mmmm! It’s so good. It’s your favorite!

Sweetie: It does smell good.

Doodlebug: It does look good.

MoonCat: Ask the question, bulldogs. What’s the catch?

Sweetie: Is this a bribe?

Doodlebug: Yeah, you want us to do something we wouldn’t do otherwise.

Sweetie: But it does look good.

Doodlebug: And it does smell good. Oh, all right. Give it here.

Sweetie: Mmmm. Is there any more?

Me: Not right now.

MoonCat: You all sold out cheap.
