The Minutes of the Meeting – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: So how did your meeting go? Did you keep minutes?

Sweetie: Minutes? No. Isn’t that one of those human clock things?

Me: What did you do during the meeting?

Doodlebug: I started it, but then I fell asleep so…

Sweetie: My paw itched and I licked it. Then I looked around the room. Then MoonCat got up and stretched and I called her out of order. I like calling stuff out of order.

MoonCat: Not half as much as I like being out of order.

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. I hereby call the Pack meeting to order.

Me: Okay, what’s happening now?

Sweetie: Doodlebug, MoonCat, and me present. The parakeets are observing.

Baby and Bud: Ack ack!

Sweetie: No, you don’t get to talk. Out of order.

MoonCat: Yes, out of order. The very definition of a bulldog-led anything.
