Don’t Stop Up Your Ears – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human?

Me: Mmm..maah…mmm…

Doodlebug: I think she’s gone deaf.

Sweetie: She’s stuck big white kibbles in her ears with strings hanging off them. Why would anybody do that?

Doodlebug: LADY HUMAN!

Sweetie: I’ll step on her foot.

Me: Hey!

Sweetie: There she is.

Me: I was listening to music.

Sweetie: Now we know what the white kibbles and the long neck strings are doing.

MoonCat: Yes, they provide selective hearing to humans with bulldogs.

Perk Up Your Ears – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Ears are important, Lady Human.

Me: Yes, they are. Not just having them, but using them.

Sweetie: Do you use your ears?

Me: Yes. A lot. Sometimes. Maybe not.

Doodlebug: Perk ’em up, ma’am. We have a list of demands.

MoonCat: Don’t perk ’em up too much. Bulldog demands can be long and extremely loud. In fact, I think I’ll tuck mine down.
