A Grumbly Blitz of Bulldogs – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: How come you call us a “pack”, Lady Human? I don’t pack anything.

Me: It’s a group name. The name for a group of bulldogs is a “blitz” meaning lightning or a “grumble”of bulldogs, though “grumble” applies to pugs, too.

Doodlebug: Blitz. Cool! That sounds like us. Lightning! Zoom!

Me: But we’re not just bulldogs. We have a cat and parakeets and…me, a human. I count, too. So “pack” is the better term for us.

MoonCat: I prefer “grumble” for bulldogs. Sounds about right. Lightning? Not the bulldogs I know.
