I Have an Idea! – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: I have an idea!

Me: Uh-oh.

Sweetie: No. Not an uh-oh idea. A good idea.

Doodlebug: Okay, I’ll bite. What is it? Not that one where we climb the tall fence and chase the stinky truck.

Sweetie: But there’s all those wonderful smells coming from it!

Doodlebug: Nope. Not happening.

Me: Nope. Bad idea.

MoonCat: Not all ideas are worth pursuing. Especially not stinky ones on wheels.

Just Made It Up – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: What was all that on the Big Picture Box last night, Lady Human? It was scary.

Me: Oh, that was just a story somebody made up.

Doodlebug: Made up?

Me: Yeah. Imagined. It didn’t happen in real life. They just made it look as though it did.

Doodlebug: Why ever would a human do that?

Me: Imagination is built into us by the Creator. You have it, too. Like when y’all dream. You’re asleep, but you’re barking and running. And the whole time, you’re just laying there on your bed. Well, humans dream, too, asleep and awake.

Sweetie: Like when Doodlebug makes up that he’s the King of the Olde English Bulldogges, whoever they are.

MoonCat: Watch out. Don’t go there.
