What’s Got Your Goat? – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Doodle, more nonsense words are spilling out of Lady Human. Now she’s saying, “That really got my goat”, and we don’t even have a goat.

Doodlebug: You mean those skinny loud-mouthed critters with horns and  beards? Naw, never saw one here.

Sweetie: Lady Human? What happened to your goat that we never saw?

Me: Huh? Oh, that just means I got upset.

Sweetie: If we got your goat back, would that help?

MoonCat: It wouldn’t help me.
