男它是叫Max

I hope the the above is right? I am under the impression that I am not allowed to use 他 for non-human. Anyway.. you wanted to see what my dog looked like so I decided to start this new discussion. I think it might be an idea for all poddies to put a picture of more of their favourite pet up in this discussion too.

Please keep the width of the images to no wider than 480 pixels to preserve the formatting of the page, if possible.

Max - Up Close

Max - In Bed

Max - On Grass

Hrmm.. I just want to clarify that sentence for my learning. Do you envy my dog or do you envy me for having my dog?

I might use this conversation to say a couple of things: Welcome back, Auntie68! I have missed you and your comments immensely this last week or two. It is good to see that you and your computer are back in action. :) Oh hey! I just got word from my parents that a package has arrived for me at their place! :) I always get stuff sent there because it's easier. Let's just say that I am now the proud owner of a ChinesePOD shirt as well as a t-shirt produced by sinosplice.com's owner, John Pasden, which says "Please Speak To Me In Mandarin" on the front.. well I hope that's what it says.. lol.. otherwise I'm going to get some pretty strange looks when I first wear it in public!! :)

Yes... I have confirmed now that the T-shirt does indeed say "Please Speak Mandarin".. I had to be sure.. This is what is on the front of the shirt: 请讲普通话。 Now I can walk around Sydney with my "Please Speak Mandarin" shirt on.. hopefully I will get more exposure to mandarin this way. Will let you all know what reaction I get from people on Friday when I wear it for the first time in public. :)

Hi light487, It seems that hitokiri is learning traditional Chinese characters, so please be careful not to mix up them with simplified ones. 牠 is the traditional form of 它. By the way, your dog is NOT fat, or he is very slim. Do you still have a severe food problem in Australia? Chinese people has already overcome 吃饭的问题.
