I have one little dog (Speed-Bump) who is recovering from back surgery, and the other (Big Mac) is at the Veterinarian this morning getting his teeth cleaned.
This home seems rather quiet this morning without those two playing & running around the place..

Someone once said that the British and the Americans are separated by the same language. While it's true that "ahh" is used as a sign of relief/relaxation/satisfaction, In the UK, "ahh" is also an exclamation to signify appreciation of cuteness. I don't think I've ever heard a Brit use "aww".

The second one reminds me of the picture of the chihuahua poking it's head out of the tip of foreskin :biggrin i see it used a bit as a thumbnail on youtube)

Maybe you're hanging out with the older crowd? I think you're right, but it could also be generational. Not so long ago "eewwww" wasn't used either. Nor were you to hear a Brit say that he or she was "good" when they meant "well", but that's all changing.
