tails

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, how come me and Doodle don’t have long tails?

Me: A century and more of bulldog breeding took that away from y’all. But you can still wag what you’ve got.

Sweetie: Ugh! Humans again, deciding what we can and can’t have! Not fair.

Baby and Bud: Chirrrup! We keep our long tail feathers!

Me: Not all human decisions are…

Doodlebug: Wise?

Sweetie: Intelligent?

Baby and Bud: Good ideas?

Doodlebug: Unselfish?

Sweetie: Well-intentioned?

MoonCat: I think we get the idea. The important thing is that I still have my long, luxurious tail to wave in all your faces.
