Heat Wave – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Why is it hot feeling today, Lady Human?

Me: We are having a mini heat wave.

Sweetie: What is the heat waving at? Not me, for sure.

Me: We’ll drop down about 45 degrees in a couple of days.

Doodlebug: It’s that stupid sky that can’t make up its mind again.

MoonCat: As long as it makes up its mind in my favor, I don’t mind a few waves here and there.

The Sky Can’t Make Up Its Mind – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: The sky is flippy-floppy again, Lady Human. One day it wants to be cold. Then it wants to be hot. Then it wants to be cold and hot at the same time.

Doodlebug: Like it has no mind of its own.

Me: It doesn’t.

MoonCat: Like some creatures I have known, blowing hot, then cold. My best feline advice – seek shelter and eat treats.

Warm Up! Now! – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, order a warmup! Now!

Me: What makes you think that’s an easy thing?

Sweetie: Humans order everything else.

Me: The weather is not like a pizza. It’s a lot more complicated than that.

Doodlebug: While you’re dealing with the cold, call in a double cheese thick crust.

MoonCat: Make mine anchovy. And hold the pizza.
