Construction Project Manager – Conversations with Sweetie

Me: All right. Here we are again. Why are you sitting on that piece of cardboard instead of your pile of comfy blankets or your padded bed or your big red cushion?

Sweetie: Allow me to explain, bulldog style. First, bring that very large open box over here.

Me: To put one cardboard box on top of a flattened cardboard box?

Sweetie nods.

Me: Now you are tapping the big red cushion which means you want that moved to the new cardboard box.

Sweetie nods.

Me: There. Per your command.

Sweetie: Naturally. Ahhhh. Nothing like efficient bulldog management.

Bulldog Recycling Architect – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human! Sweetie is tearing up something! I don’t know why and I don’t know what.

Sweetie: Grrrrr! Move! Move! There! There!

Me: Oh, Sweetie. What are you doing in a cardboard box? I was going to put that out for the recycle people.

Sweetie: Grrrr! No need, ma’am. I’m recycling it myself. Repurposing. Reconditioning. All those fancy words the humans use, well, I’m DOING IT! BEHOLD! My new bedroom!

Me: Well…I’m…impressed. You knocked down one side of the box and dragged a blanket into it and made it just the right size for a new bed? In addition to the other two beds you already have. Okay. Why?

Sweetie: This is who I am. This is what I do. I’m not just a bulldog toilet engineer. Now I’m a bulldog architect. Don’t waste cardboard. Give it to me! I will reuse it! Wait. Look. There’s a plastic box over there! ANOTHER PROJECT! WOO HOO!

MoonCat: Meow. All right. Everyone hide. The bulldog has lost it.
