A Pleasant Surprise – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: It’s hot, Lady Human. Make it stop.

Me: Be patient. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by morning.

Sweetie: Oh, alright. No more complaining until morning.

MoonCat: That pleasant surprise would be a pleasant surprise.

Grumble Dogs – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Errrrrr…

Sweetie: Errrrrr yourself! My errrrrr is better than your errrrrr. You just sound like wah, wah, wah…

Doodlebug: Says who?

Sweetie: Says ME, that’s WHO!

Me: What’s all the noise about?

MoonCat: Nothing important enough to wake me from my nap, that’s what!

Sweetie: Where’s my snack? And where has the sun gone? How can I sunbathe without a sun to bathe in?

Doodlebug: And when it going to stop raining? Stupid sky!

Me: Anything else y’all want to complain about? No, forget I said that.

Sweetie: As a matter of fact…

Doodlebug: Don’t get me started.

Me: Too late for that apparently.

Complaint Department – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, what do humans do when they have a problem?

Me: Depends on the type of problem.

Sweetie: He just wants to complain because I borrowed his dumb ole chew stick.

Doodlebug: It’s not dumb! It’s the best chew stick in the world. And it’s MINE!

Sweetie: Yeah, well, you can keep your ole chew stick then. It tastes nasty anyway, just like you.

Me: Okay! Sweetie, over there! Doodlebug, here’s your chew toy! Sit over there!

Doodlebug: Ew! It’s got her spit on it!

Me: I’ve never known you to be so particular before.

MoonCat: Lady Human, go back to your forever mysterious human activities. I declare the Complaint Department closed…until I have a complaint.
