AWESOME!


So Gail and I are standing by the ticket barrier at Nottingham station yesterday morning when a tall, handsome and well spoken young man comes bounding over and addresses Gail thus:

"May I just say I think your dog is awesome!"

Gail says thank you and a big beaming smile lights up her face as she temporarily forgets that she finds constant use of the adjective 'awesome' ever so slightly irritating.

We had just been to see Human Granny. Despite finding it increasingly difficult to move around, she stays cheerful and positive about life, and interested in what's going on in the world. And she always smiles when she sees me.

I hope Gail doesn't mind if I tell you I think HGY is AWESOME.

  7. WELL BERTIE MY MOM AGREES WITH GAIL ON THE incorrect use of AWESOME. Using HGY is for sure the correct use of awesome. AWESOMELY beautifully and has an AWESOME attitude. What a classy lady ..we are sorry to hear she isn't quite as mobile though.

    However, such uses as when mom gives a cashier correct change...they respond
    awesome!! Now Bertie that young man had awesome taste when describing you!!

    Another aggravation use of 'no problem' to mom is the lack of'you are welcomed'. Any time mom says thank you...she always gets NO PROBLEM. Mom is a rather mellow senior but this just gets her hackles up. She wants to say I had no idea my request might have been a problem. Argggggggggggggg
    Hugs Madi your bfff

  8. HGY looks very chipper. Most likely due to a visit from a handsome WFT. Hope the train trip was uneventful!

  9. My peeps don't much care for the over use of "awesome" either, Bertie, but it could be forgiven when used about a handsome dog such as yourself BOL HGY looks very happy to see you too :-) nose licks and love from Moth xx
