I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, why do humans sit by their empty bowls for so long?
Sweetie: Yeah. The food is gone and you all just sit and sit and sit…
Me: We like to talk around the table sometimes.
Sweetie: …and sit and sit…
Me: We did stay at the table quite a while, I’ll admit. People like to visit over meals.
Doodlebug: Aren’t you afraid someone will lick your empty bowl?
MoonCat: Unlike bulldogs, humans have better manners than that.
