Monkey for me

The choice of animals is significant - the ox, horse, goat, rooster, pig, and dog are six of the main domestic animals raised by Chinese people.


While the rat, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake and monkey are all loved by the Chinese.


The animals were separated into two categories - yin and yang - depending on whether they have an odd or even number of claws, toes or hooves.

I think they like to eat all of them ....

Chinese New Year being celebrated in many countries all over the world today. Not so much in Malaysia tho, even tho there's around 20% people of Chinese descent.
Apparently any mention or portrayal of a dog might offend the ruling majority religion-that-must-not-be-offended

Next year should be fun ... oink, oink!

They might ban it for being a fence?

Horse, it just had to be the horse for me.

Dog would have been more apt, shirley?

No Mik, they're taking the dog to the fence this year as a test case.

^ Oh, that was to Slippy

Horse racing was always my first passion Mikael D'Haguenet and I still love the game. Greyhound racing was a huge part of my life for many years but that sport means absolutely nothing to me now, no tracks left in London and I only go a few times a year to Hove now for a night out on the South coast.

You misunderstand. I meant you're a mongrel!




(Just kidding. Obv your username is a dog.)

FFS Dropped so as not to cause offence.
Peppa Pig done for surely.

Pig year.

Happy new year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Dear me, any of the Chaps who live over there must be in a Desperate State , Imagine them having to live through the Year of There Pig

I myself Like PIGS

Highly intelligent.

.... pigs that is, not case

There is nothing wrong with doggies and piggies - they do no harm - unlike humans eg Hitler, Pol Pot and Assad.

What about them wild bores?

"wild bores" - there are some here...repetitive and annoying. If you meant boar, just an extension of piggies...a touch unkempt and belligerent at times. But given a bit of coaching and tlc they could be pet material, I believe.

*boers, sorry.
