Will Human Messes Never Cease? – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, you made a mess.

Me: Yes. I dropped an egg.

Sweetie: And that made a mess.

Doodlebug: A really sloppy mess. May I clean it up, please?

Me: That’s okay. I’ll take care of it. No sense spreading it around.

Sweetie: But you made a mess.

Me: If I were a bulldog, I wouldn’t be pointing out the messes of others.

Sweetie: But you are a human. Humans shouldn’t make messes.

MoonCat: Oh, my. Where have you been?

Me: Okay. Who made this mess?

Doodlebug: Let me see it. Hmmm. Doesn’t look like one of my messes. May I lick it up?

Me: No, sir. Sweetie?

Sweetie: The snail did it.

Me: This is not a snail trail.

Sweetie: Well, of course, it would deny it. Or blame some innocent bulldog.

MoonCat: Innocent bulldog? A mythological creature that never existed.
