Chewing the Fat – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, how come you talked into your little hand box so long last night?

Doodlebug: Yeah, you talked and talked. I thought we would never enjoy silence again.

Me: I was chewing the fat with a friend of mine.

Sweetie: Chewing?

Doodlebug: Fat?

Sweetie: Where’s ours? I love fat chewing.

Me: That’s just an expression for talking…

Doodlebug: Another human expression that does not mean what it says.

Sweetie: Teasing us with the dream of chewing fat.

MoonCat: I don’t mind chewing the fat. Just make it short and lean.

Be Reasonable – Conversations with Sweetie

Posted on by H.J. Hill

Me: Sweetie, stop!

Sweetie: Stop what?

Me: Think for a second. What are you doing right now?

Sweetie: Talking to you.

Me: Before that.

Sweetie: Minding my own business.

Me: You were chewing on the corner of the plastic box.

Sweetie: Oh, that. That’s just a hobby of mine.

Me: Stop it. Why would you even do that?

Sweetie: Because…fun.

Me: It’s not food. It can’t taste very good. And it could harm you if you swallow any of it. Be reasonable.

Sweetie: Oh, you mean like humans?

Me: We don’t chew on plastic.

Sweetie: No, you just chew on everything else.
