Cute AND smart!

Adorable. :-)

Think of all the fire hydrants between here and there.

Fred doesn’t wee on fire hydrants, Grog. In the UK they are hidden underground with discreet little yellow H signs. British dogs mark lamp-posts.

So do I take the Q bus, and will I need a transfer?

And in doggy years it’s…….. let’s see, multiply and carry the, no wait, I can get this…………………

He should have listened to Eric Idle in “The Meaning of Life.”

“The galaxy itself contains 100 million stars. It’s 100,000 light years side to side. It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light years thick But out by us it’s just 3,000 light years wide. We’re 30,000 light years from galactic central point. We go round every 200 million years. And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and expanding Universe.”

Fred one certainly does learn something new every day!!!

@Edcole, thank you very much for the nformation. That is amazing. I knew it was a big galaxy and the universe is immense, but your information gives it real parameters and an inkling of the overwhelming size of that which we call “space”.

I’m sure Fred is just as amazed as we all are by its immense size.
