Something Spilled Outside – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human! Cleanup! Outside! Better bring a mop and a great big bucket.

Me: You mean all that cold white stuff on top of everything? Not my circus, not my ice monkeys.

Sweetie: Now that’s not very helpful of you, ma’am. Do you want our precious little paws to get frosty? It sounds to me like laziness.

MoonCat: It sounds to me like it’s a good thing I’m a housecat.

Winter? But Why? – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: Okay. Not much in the way of outdoor activities today. Winter is rolling in big time.

Sweetie: Winter? But why? We were doing fine without it.

Me: Just part of the cycle. Remember, for the rest of the day, the outdoor facilities may feel pretty cold.

Doodlebug: How inconvenient! Is there going to be that cold white stuff, too?

Me: They say so.

Sweetie: Well, just who are they? I’d like to have a serious little talk with them.

MoonCat: I have no problem with winter. My facilities are always open.
