A Hangnail Hangup – Conversations with the Big Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Baby: Aaaccckkk!

Sweetie: What’s wrong with Baby, Lady Human?

Me: Nothing now. She was scratching at their curtain and a hangnail on one of her toes got stuck on the cloth. I pushed it out and she’s free.

Doodlebug: Oh, no! Toenails! Clippers! RUN, BABY THE BUDGIE! RUN!

Sweetie: Birds don’t run. They fly. Don’t you know anything? FLY, BABY THE BUDGIE! FLY!

MoonCat: Sit calmly, Baby the Budgie. Avoid all bulldog advice.

Manicure? Anyone? – Conversations with the Pack

Sweetie: Lady Human, what are you hiding behind your back?

Me: Nothing important.

Doodlebug: I see it. Nail clippers! Run!

Me: Wait, y’all! How about I just clip one toenail each day?

Sweetie: One toenail too many! All we want is for our precious feet to be left alone!

Doodlebug: You know what she will do? She’ll wait until we’re asleep and then she’ll sneak up on us with her sneaky clippers.

MoonCat: Solution? Sleep with feet tucked under and one eye open.
