Power Connections – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, how come you are playing with skinny ropes?

Sweetie: Yeah, and how come you’re sticking the skinny rope ends in the wall?

Me: Electricity. I have to plug the cords in so the power will flow.

Sweetie: I don’t see a flow. Maybe you need a water hose from outside.

Me: Nope! Definitely not! Water and electricity don’t live together in peace.

MoonCat: Some things just don’t play well together. Ask me how I know.

Tangled Web – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: Where’s Sweetie?

Sweetie: Nowhere in particular.

MoonCat: Check behind the couch. Follow the sound of scraping.

Me: Sweetie?

Sweetie: Nope, nothing back here but…well, nothing.

Me: Sweetie! You’ve got my little fan’s electric cord tangled around your feet.

Sweetie: Oh, is that what that is? How did that get there?

Doodlebug: Well, you know how. You started playing with it and wound it around you.

Me: I don’t care about the fan, but I don’t want you to get hurt, so here goes the fan, off by itself where no one can get tangled in it.

Sweetie: Oh, pooh! It was my best friend when it blew on me.

Me: But it can’t blow when the cord is unplugged.

Sweetie: Well, just plug it back in over here where all these other electric plug and electric strings are.

Me: Nope. That is all going away. Safety first.

Sweetie: What’s second? Is second fun?
