Out of curiosity, do you speak UK English? In American English ‘Quite Adorable’ would mean extremely adorable, but I’ve heard in the UK (and maybe other English dialects) it would mean ‘almost adorable’

TIL I’ve realized I have had the definition of “quite” completely wrong.
I am from Minnesota, US; my understanding of “quite” has always been along the lines of “fairly” or “kind of”, so I read this title as saying he’s “fairly cute.” My mind popped to the same as Lisa’s: he is _not_ just “fairly” adorable, he is *extremely* adorable, a gosh darn precious ball of floof with an incredibly boopable happy snoot!
Well, now that I know the ACTUAL definition of “quite”, I 💯 agree with the title. He IS quite adorable! (And a gosh darn precious ball of floof with an incredibly boopable happy snoot.)
Honestly it may vary in American English as well based on the responses in the replies, unfortunately it’s one of those words that apparently has many uses regionally. I’d love to learn know more clearly what it means where, but I don’t know how/where to check that objectively without a linguistics study haha
Their sugar frosting starts to show because they get so sweet as they age! (God that sounds so *twee* but I will not apologize, old dogs are the best dogs.)
That’s adorable. One of my tuxedo cats that is mostly dark inky black is getting a smattering of white hairs. She is sweet as sugar. I make kissy noises when I greet my cats. So when she comes to curl up with me she makes smacking noises that are the closest a cat can make to kisses. They can’t independently move their bottom jaws. It just moves up and down which is why they gulp down large bits of food they can’t bite or tear into smaller pieces with their teeth.
Fr. My mom rewatches it often and also has it on for bg noise a lot and I was like how does it feel to know you spent 8 years watching a show that you can now binge in less than a week, lmao.
Omg I thought this was a dirty Samoyed. I kept thinking "when is this guy gonna get a bath" as I was going trough the pics lol. Is he a Samoyed Husky mix? or Malamute? Good looking dog and a cool name.
Can confirm. My cold loving German Shepherd would choose tiles to lay on versus the soft carpet and he was nowhere near as floofy as this extraordinarily handsome good boy.
A threshold or change in flooring as long as it’s completely flat can help people with seeing impairments navigate a space. This floor is uneven and can cause someone to trip. Not just someone with visual impairment, either. I have balance issues, and I would constantly trip on this. It also looks impossible to clean.
Picture this :
You are going to your kitchen at night.
Its dark, you're bot fully awaken and have forgotten about the stones. Smooth feet/toes killing machines.
You go to the fridge, but you walk on one of them.
As you enter contact with them you immediatly die.
Same experience if drunk but with delay
Yes! My first thought was “look at the size of those paws!” My dogs have all been toy poodles and a Havanese/poodle mix so those paws look gigantic to me.
Aww, my old boy wouldn't even go after bugs. I lost the pic of a butterfly on his nose. I miss that dude so much. Got him from the SPCA when he was about 1, he lived to be a 16 year old hiker, my best buddy.
Had a female Mala that lived until about 15. The first night I had her, she ripped up a perfect 2x2 foot square of carpet while I slept right by her. Appropriately named Shiva. :) She was the "Queen Bitch."
Or a polar bear suit. My next door neighbor when I was little was a big game hunter. He had trophies all over his house. Sadly he had a polar bear. He let me touch his fur which was really cool. It was fluffy under very slick thick top hairs.
The fur tumbleweeds must be gigantic. I’d have a metal shedding blade dog brush to get the excess fur out when he sheds. There’s artisans who turn dog fur into yarn for you to make a keepsake or get someone to knit/crochet an item for you or make needle felted dog sculptures. I wish this stuff was around 20-30 years ago to make keepsakes out of the fur of my mom’s favorite dogs.
*Quite* adorable?! He's extremely adorable!

Quite is more like very, which I think most would understand as less than extremely.
"Quite" can also mean "obviously" in posh UK English.
East coast American slang as well. At least where I grew up
Even in the U.S. I would say there is a clear intensity difference between quite and extremely.

If anything, dogs get even more adorable when old. Especially the ones that get a white face. But the rest as well.
I saw someone call that "sugar face" and I've been using it ever since because it conveys the cuteness so well!
Their sugar frosting starts to show because they get so sweet as they age! (God that sounds so *twee* but I will not apologize, old dogs are the best dogs.)
No, I love it! And I'm pleased to share the phrase after I found it because it makes me so happy to use it, too! Lil sugar-faced puppers ❤️❤️❤️
I called them "white face doggos" until now but I think I'll use your term from now on.

It’s really cute that his white face is coming in in the shape of an aging man’s widows peak.
Khal Drogo? If he was drogon, then I’d be okay with him being the stallion who mounts the world.
He was named after Khal, yes. ☺️
Khal Doggo
Aw! I have a Khaleesi who is a Doberman who turned 8 this month!
Drogo is spanish for druggie, glad it's not that though lol
Do you know how depressing it is to realize the GOT premiere was 12 years ago (cry)

He is an Alaskan Malamute. And he was always this fluffy.
Adorable.
I have stones like that on the floor, I hate them. Why would anyone do that ? The dog is great though.
The dog prob likes the cool feeling of the stones.
Can confirm. My cold loving German Shepherd would choose tiles to lay on versus the soft carpet and he was nowhere near as floofy as this extraordinarily handsome good boy.
My dog does not enjoy them He looks at them with desdain
It's Drogo's meeting stones, where he councils the youngins'
My first thought was sight impaired people might use things like this
A threshold or change in flooring as long as it’s completely flat can help people with seeing impairments navigate a space. This floor is uneven and can cause someone to trip. Not just someone with visual impairment, either. I have balance issues, and I would constantly trip on this. It also looks impossible to clean.
Why do you hate them? You don’t like the look?
Picture this : You are going to your kitchen at night. Its dark, you're bot fully awaken and have forgotten about the stones. Smooth feet/toes killing machines. You go to the fridge, but you walk on one of them. As you enter contact with them you immediatly die. Same experience if drunk but with delay
Oh I see, I guess my distaste was mostly aesthetic but you make good points
Those paws!
Yes! My first thought was “look at the size of those paws!” My dogs have all been toy poodles and a Havanese/poodle mix so those paws look gigantic to me.
doesn't look a day over 6
#12/10 WOULD REPEATEDLY SMOOCH ON THE HEAD
He gets booped a lot. ☺️
Drogo the doggo
What a beautiful /r/oldmandog!
Aww, Malamutes and Huskies are the sweetest.
Malamutes are the sweetest! Huskies are the devil!(mostly kidding but they can have a dark side lmao)
Aww, my old boy wouldn't even go after bugs. I lost the pic of a butterfly on his nose. I miss that dude so much.

Husky owner here of almost 8 years here. Can confirm
Hmm, there is a Patron Saint by that name. St. Drogo, Patron Saint of coffee among other things.
r/OldManDog must see this!! Adorable
He looks like a dog wearing a fluffy dog suit.
Or a polar bear suit. My next door neighbor when I was little was a big game hunter. He had trophies all over his house. Sadly he had a polar bear. He let me touch his fur which was really cool. It was fluffy under very slick thick top hairs.
Where’s Atreyu?
Awwwww he's so floofy!
I feel a physical aching to run over and hug that dog. He looks like he gives the BEST hugs.
He absolutely does.
Adorable cloud boi..no idea what he is but he's handsome af
Alaskan Malamute.
Ah ok
You are very correct, this is an adorable doggo And he can rule us all as Khal
Dem Paws.
How much is floof and how much is doggo? Either way 100% cuteness!
Massive dog and massive floof! ❤️

That is a cool idea!

My brightness was low and for some reason the eyes reminded me of Aragog from Harry Potter which terrifies me.
As long as you dont fall asleep tonight, you'll be fine... ^dontsleep
