Name Calling – Part 1 Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, Roo-Roo the Rooster was yelling at me!

Me: Maybe he was only saying hello very loudly.

Sweetie: Nobody says hello that loud! He was calling me an ugly name!

Me: And what ugly name, pray tell, was that?

Sweetie: BULLDOG!

Doodlebug: How rude!

MoonCat: How accurate.

Too Much Information – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, too much human talk is being thrown around.

Doodlebug: Yes. For example, we don’t know or care why the egg blew up. Talking about it just makes us think about it more and worry.

Sweetie: Yes, ma’am. Stop talking and spend the time making sure eggs stay in their shells.

MoonCat: Maybe that fella has some ideas.

Roosting – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, that big loud fancy bird outside is acting weird.

Sweetie: Yeah, it’s pretending to be a parakeet and is sitting on a stick.

Me: He is a rooster and he is roosting.

Doodlebug: How come we can’t do that?

Me: Your feet aren’t made the same way.

Doodlebug: How come?

Me: For so it seemed good to the Great Creator.

MoonCat: Flat sturdy ground beneath my delicate little feet. So it seems good to me, too.
