I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Sweetie: Rain, Lady Human…make it stop.
Me: I’m not sure I would if I could. We may need this later. And it’s not that heavy. Do what MoonCat says. Run between the raindrops.
Sweetie: I’m way too wide to do that.
MoonCat: So that’s the problem! And all this time, I thought it was because your short bulldog legs don’t get up to speed quick enough.

Sweetie: Run! Run! Run! Slide! Wee! Uh-oh. Clunk.
Me: Okay, that’s why no running in the house. All that stack of books knocked down. Are you alright?
Sweetie: Huh, yeah. What a mess! If that stack hadn’t been taller than me, well, it wouldn’t have been taller than me and wouldn’t have tumbled so far.
Doodlebug: Next time, try stacking a bunch of trash bags filled with yummy leftovers. They are softer and smell better.
MoonCat: How about next time, no running in the house! You might disturb the cat.
