George is 8 months old today. As I told you last week, George now spends part of his time outside and he loves it. I love it too because it makes him calmer inside the house. Sometimes he's so tired all he wants to do is sleep LOL. The dogs love it too. Here are a few photos of my growing boy.... Kay in NC
Happy 8th Lunarday George!
Happy 8th, Gorgeous George. It looks like you and the great outdoors are a match - you just look so happy. Have fun, and be careful out there..........:D
Does anyone reading this remember who the real Gorgeous George was? I'm probably dating myself with this one, but I remember because of my Dad - not really so much me. No cheating by Googling it either. :p
Dearest young Georgie, happy 8-months Purrrthday!!!
What a fine young man you are growing up to be!
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
I don't know how I know but I think Gorgeous George was a wrestler. I don't think I ever saw him wrestle on tv but I do know the name... at least I think I do. My George was NOT named because of him LOL.Quote:

Sure do, Ellie. A rather flashy pro wrestler from more years ago than I care to admit. When I was growing up we spent many weekends with Mom's family upstate New York. On Saturday nights my cousins and I stayed with Grandma while our parents went out. For us it was a big treat - once we had our baths and were ready for bed, Grandma would make us treats and let us watch wrestling on tv. Back then tv was only balck & white. Oops, does that age both of us? :eek:Quote:

Yup - Kay and Eileen got it right about Gorgeous George. And the winning prize is none other than.............................................. ..........................

A curly blonde wig. :eek::p:D
My mother always razzed dad about watching GG on b&w t.v. But way back then, there wasn't a whole lot to choose from on 3 (?) channels. Remember they "signed off" each night with The Star Spangled Banner and then the "test pattern" showed until they went back on the air the next day????? How t.v. has changed!!!
And we always had to let the tv warm up before we could watch anything. I can also remember my Dad taking the back off when the tv didn't work, take out the dead tube thing then go to the store for a new tube of some sort. Replace the old one - good as new and no degree in engineering required.Quote:

I often wonder what my parents would think of today's technology -- computers, IPads, Pods & phones, flat panel t.v.'s, digital cameras - and digital EVERYTHING - and on and on and on. I suppose all this technology that WE have right now, will look primitive when we are gone, and the grandkids will wonder how we ever lived this way. :eek::p:rolleyes::DQuote:

And George Kitty - you are so much more adorable than that other George. :love:
I'm sorry too, this was literally a blast from the past.Quote:
