Stuff and Nonsense – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, there was an awful lot of noise last night and not the kind I enjoy because I didn’t make any of it.

Me: Yeah, a lot of people gunning their engines, revving up and speeding down the roads. All stuff and nonsense.

Sweetie: I like stuff.

Doodlebug: I like nonsense.

Me: I know y’all do. But this was stuff and nonsense that keeps interrupting sound sleep. I can do without that.

MoonCat: Have earplugs for cats been invented yet? Because I could sure use a pair. Stuff and nonsense blockers.

Parakeet Hair – Conversation with the Big Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: I must file another complaint, Lady Human.

Me: Oh, must you? And we have an official file now?

Sweetie: Yes, you always say keep everything in good order.

MoonCat: And good order would apply to a bulldog how?

Sweetie: The parakeets are shedding hair all over the place.

Me: Parakeets don’t have hair to shed.

Doodlebug: But there’s all this fluff here.

Me: Feathers. And what’s all this fluff here? Looks like…bulldog hair!

MoonCat: As usual, fluff and nonsense.
