I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Me: Okay. Pay attention. We’re going to calmly walk outside and…
Sweetie: Where’s my chew toy?
Doodlebug: And my throw stick? I need that.
Me: Y’all! Look at me. Pay attention.
Doodlebug: Pay attention? Is that what you do when you hand humans that funny-looking paper and they give you metal discs back?
Me: That’s a different type of paying. Attention means focus. Now focus on me and…
Sweetie: I still need my chew toy.
Doodlebug: And there’s my missing stick to think of. I’ll search over here.
Sweetie: And what time is lunch?
MoonCat: I’m paying attention. Don’t I look like I’m paying attention?
