KA-BOOM! WHAT WAS THAT??? – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: REALLY? IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY? WHAT WAS THAT HUGE BOOM NOISE?

Me: Stay back! Let me check. Quiet down. A man is speaking through a bullhorn.

Doodlebug: How did a human get a bull to let him use his horn?

Me: It’s a device that makes your voice louder. It’s the police. I can’t make out what he’s saying. He’s pausing after he talks. It’s pitch dark outside. I can’t see a thing. No flashing lights or nothing.

Sweetie: I’ll bet you dimes to donuts it’s humans acting up. Bulldogs would never be this rude.

Me: Where did you hear “dimes to donuts”?

Sweetie: Tall Man. He knows everything.

Me: Well, he’s still asleep, so he doesn’t know about this. There’s nothing to do here. We’ll find out later. I’m going back to bed.

MoonCat: Sanity prevails.

The Loudest Mouths – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, how come birds are so loud, louder than anything else, louder than bulldogs?

Me: You mean because of the cacophony we were just treated to from the chickens and the parakeets?

Doodlebug: It doesn’t seem right.

Sweetie: They squawk and yell and cockadoodle-doo for no reason at all.

Doodlebug: And it doesn’t make sense.

MoonCat: Hmmm. Doesn’t seem right and doesn’t make sense. Sounds like some four-legged critters I know.

Loud Mouthery – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, we have a problem. That large bird is walking around outside, shooting his mouth off again. I told him to stop, but he ignored my royal authority.

Sweetie: Ma’am, how can you complain about loud mouthery from bulldogs when that loud mouthery is going on from a bird of all things? We are not nearly so irritating.

MoonCat: Loud mouthery? That has to be a bulldog invention. They are the experts in the field of loud and mouths.
