Creative Gesticulations (the Blog): “Hi, can we talk”

The Gesticulator: “Um, sure”

CG: “It’s been a long time, Gesticulator”

TG: “Yeah, it has…”

CG: “That’s it?! That’s all you can say? You acknowledge the lapse in time without offering any explanation?”

TG: “Whoa, easy blogspot—talk like that will make you an ex- faster than you can say ‘wireless mouse”

CG: “Nobody calls! Nobody visits! Sure, people stop by to see if there’s something new but then…”

TG: “So, you’re lonely—it’s normal, besides you can talk. How many other blogs can do that, huh?”

CG: *sniffle* yeah, you’re right but I miss being cheeky. Laughter warms the cockles of my dual core-heart.”

TG: “you said cockles”

CG: --

TG: Okay…how about I tell you about the Gesticulator’s World?

So, we have added a new member to the family; another Dane, her name is Bella Contessa Princess of the Urban Jungle (registered names must be long, you know).

She looks like a Holstein calf and is equal in agility to a 400 pound man ice skating on a Nebraska pond. Turns out that she’s also the bravest little puppy in the world, she’s only afraid of: the mixer, her dog bed, anything that makes noise, anything that looks like it might make noise, spatulas, lamps, couch cushions, shower curtains, people with legs, people without legs, and a few others that have slipped my mind. She is very sweet though and has quickly made friends with the majority of the neighborhood dogs—in fact, this appears to be the only thing she doesn’t fear; evident by her willingness to gallop up to a stranger with a pug so that she can play. It should be noted that she is 100 pounds and doesn’t realize it one bit thus leaving said pug-walker panic stricken at the sight of a galloping cow.
