Kick Up a Storm – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Wee! Look at me!

Me: Well played, Sweetie! I had no idea you could kick a ball with your foot.

Sweetie: Like those humans on the Big Picture Box, except I’ve got 4 feet! Think how much damage I could do!

Doodlebug: Nose bumping is the only legal way to move a ball.

MoonCat: Round things like balls should not be kicked. They should only be gently rolled. Anything else is uncivilized.

A Hole in One – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, look at this cute little rolly ball I found. I’m gonna knock it into that hole over there. Boom!

Me: Uh, not a ball, Sweetie!

Doodlebug: It is now.

Me: That’s an egg.

Sweetie: In it goes. I win. Ew. The ball is all gooey on the inside. Don’t worry. I’ll lick it up.

MoonCat: Now that truly is an egg in a hole.
