Crowing Contest – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, Roo-Roo the Rooster is showing off again. I’m throwing a piece of my mind at him.

Me: Don’t throw too much.

Roo-Roo: Cockadoodle Doooo!

Sweetie: Cockadoodle Ruff Ruff right back at you! I win!

Doodlebug: That’s not even good nonsense.

MoonCat: Good nonsense. Sounds like something a bulldog would know all about.

Stuff and Nonsense – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, there was an awful lot of noise last night and not the kind I enjoy because I didn’t make any of it.

Me: Yeah, a lot of people gunning their engines, revving up and speeding down the roads. All stuff and nonsense.

Sweetie: I like stuff.

Doodlebug: I like nonsense.

Me: I know y’all do. But this was stuff and nonsense that keeps interrupting sound sleep. I can do without that.

MoonCat: Have earplugs for cats been invented yet? Because I could sure use a pair. Stuff and nonsense blockers.
