A Grumbly Blitz of Bulldogs – Conversations with the Pack

Posted on by H.J. Hill

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: How come you call us a “pack”, Lady Human? I don’t pack anything.

Me: It’s a group name. The name for a group of bulldogs is a “blitz” meaning lightning or a “grumble”of bulldogs, though “grumble” applies to pugs, too.

Doodlebug: Blitz. Cool! That sounds like us. Lightning! Zoom!

Me: But we’re not just bulldogs. We have a cat and parakeets and…me, a human. I count, too. So “pack” is the better term for us.

MoonCat: I prefer “grumble” for bulldogs. Sounds about right. Lightning? Not the bulldogs I know.

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Errrrrr…

Sweetie: Errrrrr yourself! My errrrrr is better than your errrrrr. You just sound like wah, wah, wah…

Doodlebug: Says who?

Sweetie: Says ME, that’s WHO!

Me: What’s all the noise about?

MoonCat: Nothing important enough to wake me from my nap, that’s what!

Sweetie: Where’s my snack? And where has the sun gone? How can I sunbathe without a sun to bathe in?

Doodlebug: And when it going to stop raining? Stupid sky!

Me: Anything else y’all want to complain about? No, forget I said that.

Sweetie: As a matter of fact…

Doodlebug: Don’t get me started.

Me: Too late for that apparently.
