"Year Of The Dog?"

We have a favorite restaurant that we occasionally go to on special occasions and since we always go in the mid-afternoon we seem to get the same waitress, a nice Vietnamese American gal who not only provides excellent customer service, but is courteous and friendly. The last time were were at the restaurant my wife asked her what she was doing special for Christmas and New Years. She naturally said that she'd be with her family on both occasions but that they don't celebrate on January 1st. Their's is the Chinese New Year on February 16th and this coming year is the "Year Of The Dog!" So what else could I do but whittle her a dog and try to make it look Chinese. Well, I gave it my best shot anyway.

Nice dog Eddy, and a nice gift. What does the Chinese symbol on the dog mean?

That's the most Chinese looking dog I've ever seen, Eddy! I hope this doesn't mean the end of the bears!

[Robert Cahill]

She should love it very neat carving.

Bob.... No. Bears aren't off the table but next year we get to carve a pig! Of course Sonny's BBQ does that daily!

I'm a dog. 1946. How quickly we run through those cycles. Will have to have a big celebration on Feb 16. Maybe an extra maalox / prune juice cocktail. Woo hoo!

Nice dog there, Eddy. I like the paint job too.

Wayne.... To the best of my knowledge no bears were interested in being included on the Chinese calendar either from the Chinese Zodiac point of view or from the Buddhist point of view.
