Running Late – Conversations with the Big Pack

Daylight!

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. What’s the deal, Lady Human?

Me: Deal?

Sweetie: Where’s breakfast?

Me: It’s at 7 a.m. like always.

Sweetie: My stomach says it’s late.

Me: We had a time change. What used to say 7 a.m. on the clock, now says 6 a.m. We go by the clock to keep track of things.

Doodlebug: So we have to wait until your silly clocks say 7?

MoonCat: What if the silly clocks stopped working and never said 7?

Baby and Bud: We have our food, so everything’s okay. Acckk!
