The Shape of My Face – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Speaking of frowning, Lady Human…

Me: Are we still speaking of frowns?

Sweetie: I am. Why is my face shaped like a frown?

Doodlebug: Mine, too! All droopy mouthed.

Me: Our faces are our faces. A lot goes into that. Heredity. Your particular family line. And above all, you are bulldogs. I’m a human. We show that off in everything.

Doodlebug: What if I don’t like the way I look?

Me: Learn to like your face. It’s yours.

MoonCat: I do not frown. My face is the perfect example of composure and determined calm. Now leave me alone.

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, what’s wrong with your face?

Doodlebug: Yeah, it’s all scrunched up and your mouth is twisted.

Me: I just pulled a muscle. It hurts.

Sweetie: You look like…You look like…US! That’s it! You look like a bulldog!

Doodlebug: Well done! You’re beautiful!

MoonCat: No comment.

Grumble Faces – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: What’s with all the grumble faces?

Sweetie: Are you calling us ugly?

Me: By no means, but you do look a little serious.

Sweetie: Doodlebug! Maybe now is the time to present her with all our complaints…uh… requests.

MoonCat: Grumble faces? That must be a human and dog problem. I always wear the same face. That way no one can tell what I’m thinking. Keep ’em guessing.
