Midnight Snack – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Psst! Lady Human, I hear something.

Me: I do, too. I hear you.

Sweetie: I hear it, too. A little tiny crunchy noise.

Me: Y’all, it’s too late to be talking…

Sweetie: Is a possum in the house?

Me: What? A possum?

Doodlebug: That got her attention.

Me: No, it’s not a possum. The budgies are snacking on their millet spray.

MoonCat: A possum in the house? Whyever not? We already have birds. Come one, come all.

Picked Over – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

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.
