Picked Over – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, what are you wrestling with in the budgies’ wire house?

Me: Their millet spray is all picked over, so I’m taking it out so I can put in a new one.

Doodlebug: My food bowl is all picked over, too. Can I get a new one?

Sweetie: Oh, my. So is mine. I just want a refill, please, not a whole new bowl.

MoonCat: As everyone else is putting in orders, I may as well, too. Only no millet sprays, please.
