I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Me: Hey, y’all, I need my bed back.
Sweetie: You’ve got a whole side all to yourself.
Doodlebug: Yeah, we don’t encroach.
Sweetie: Of course, we could share with someone else. MoonCat?
MoonCat: My bed only has one side. MINE!

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. This is not about the Big Blue Chair again, is it?
Sweetie: Everything is about the Big Blue Chair. Unless it’s about something else that I want.
Me: Look. The chair is mine. I don’t mind letting you use it when I’m elsewhere, but we can’t both fit in it at the same time.
Doodlebug: No problem. It’s too tall anyway.
MoonCat: No argument here. It smells like bulldog anyway.
Sweetie: I don’t mind sharing MY chair with you, Lady Human, but you’re going to have to shrink your bottom some to accommodate both of us and I have always first dibs.

Sweetie: MINE! MINE! MINE! Don’t park on my chair!
Me: Your chair? Excuse me?
Sweetie: You are excused, Lady Human. You may go park yourself in the other room.
I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges, but I am staying out of this. I’ll let you girls sort this out between you.
Me: This chair is and always has been mine. I don’t mind you using it, Sweetie, but you must let me onto it so I have a place to sit in here.
Sweetie: We don’t both fit on it at the same time.
Me: Now that is a true statement.
Sweetie: Maybe you should lose some weight.
Me: I beg your pardon?
Sweetie: Granted.
Me: We are going to have to agree to share.
Sweetie: Share? I don’t like the sound of that. That doesn’t sound very bulldoggy.

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Someone is hiding something.
Sweetie: Yep. The scent is faint but real. It is…it is…IT IS CHEESE! Lady Human?
Me: Hmmm?
Doodlebug: You are sneaking cheese.
Me: Whatever do you mean?
Sweetie: Yup. A clear sign of guilt.
Me: Guilt? For eating a tiny piece of cheese?
Doodlebug: Tiny, huh! We’ve seen your cheese chunks before. Tiny for an elephant maybe.
Sweetie: You are guilty of not sharing. I hereby sentence you to share your cheese or else.
Me: Or else what?
Sweetie: Or else we won’t share our treats with you.
Me: Uhb…okay.
Doodlebug: I told you, Sweetie. We need better bargaining skills.
