Comparisons are odious?


Did you know it was Gail's birthday last week?

It's always fun, isn't it, to look at the cards and decide which you like best.

Such a difficult choice, this time around.

I thought we had a clear winner, when I saw this one from our friends Margaret and Jeffrey.


Splendid, don't you think? A handsome fellow isn't he? And such a jolly neckerchief.

But then Gail opened the envelope postmarked Nottingham. Human Granny had earlier dropped a hint that she'd found a very special card for Gail.

And this was it.


A wire-haired fox terrier sitting in front of a bicycle!

Yes I can see why this image might be considered especially fitting for Gail.

The WFT guy even looks a bit like me, wouldn't you say? Personally I would have preferred it if he had been allowed to pose without any distracting objects in the background, but I guess at least the bike is behind and not in front of him.

Perhaps if I set the cards side by side it will be easier to select the 'winner'.


I wonder what my friends think?

Oh. Gail is telling me that if Human Grandad (who also had a November birthday) had read this he would have frowned and said: "Bertie, comparisons are odious"...
