Poorly – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, why are you flat?

Me: I’m lying down because I’m feeling poorly.

Sweetie: Is “poorly” good?

Me: Not really. Not the worst though.

Sweetie: I’ll feel poorly with you if it will help.

Doodlebug: Me, too.

Me: Aww, thanks, but I think I’ll need to fight this one through. You can pray for me.

MoonCat: Already there.

On the Tip of My Tongue – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Bluh! Lahdee Hooma!

Me: Ew! What’s on the end of your tongue? Hold still. Yuck!

Sweetie: Was it something I wanted?

Me: Apparently. At some point. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Doodlebug: Can I have it?

Me: No. We throw yuck stuff away.

MoonCat: I’ll just keep the tip of my tongue to myself.
