I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges, and today has not been a very fun day and I feel the need to complain.
Me: Is there ever a time you do not feel the need to complain?
Stella: Certainly, Lady Human. Whenever I get to have as much fun as you humans do.
Me: Every day is bulldog fun day.
Stella: Nope. Today wasn’t. You and Tall Man went and came and came and went. You went somewhere…
Me: Church.
Stella: Nope. You were gone way too long for church. I timed you.
Me: How?
Stella: With my belly. When breakfast is digested, you get home from church.
Me: Well, there was a church fellowship today so I stayed longer for that.
Stella: And what did they have at this thing called a ‘fellowship’?
Me: Brisket…
Stella: Meat?
Me: Yes. And they had sausage…
Stella: More meat?
Me: Yes. And bread…
Stella: More meat?
Me: No. But they had ice cream treats.
Stella: And then?
Me: A bounce house…
Stella: I like those.
Me: You have never been in one and they were for the kids. No dogs allowed.
Stella: No fair! I’ll bet you had fun.
Me: Yes, I’ll admit I did.
Stella: Where was my fun today? Boo-hoo-hoo. Nowhere. That’s where.
Me: All right, what’s your idea of fun?
Stella: You scratching and rubbing my neck, between my ears, my belly, my back…
Me: In other words, what we do every day.
Stella: Yep. You’ve had your fun for the day. Now it’s time for mine.
