I am Doodlebug. King of the Olde English Bulldogges. What are you doing, Lady Human?
Sweetie: She is scratching a poor innocent piece of paper with her stick again.
Me: It’s called ‘writing’. I put words down on the paper in ink so they can be read.
MoonCat: Words? I don’t hear anything except the scratching. Does the scratching make you feel better? Scratching makes me feel better.
Me: Uh, different type of scratching. I guess it makes me feel better to get the words out.
Doodlebug: Sorry, Lady Human, but no words are coming out.
Sweetie: Yeah, I don’t hear a thing either.
Me: Well, scratching…I mean writing…is silent until it’s read or recited.
Sweetie: That’s kind of selfish. You should share.
Me: How would I share while I’m writing?
The Pack: WRITE OUT LOUD!
