Aotearoa Weekly Kōrero 29/7/2024
Last weeks thread here
Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
Something interesting that happened to you Something humourous that happened to you Something frustrating that happened to you A quick question A request for recommendations Pictures of your pet A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule) So how’s it going?

Hot Top New Old Controversial liv @lemmy.nz 10mo ago We are dogsitting a cute dog!
Dave @lemmy.nz 10mo ago liv @lemmy.nz 10mo ago I didn't think of that! I know I should pay the dog tax but it's probably like uploading a photo of someone else's kid.
Dave @lemmy.nz 10mo ago Yeah that's true, fair call. I'll just imagine it looked like this cutie .
liv @lemmy.nz 10mo ago I had the feeling that link was going to be to some kind of a Chinese Crested cross but I hadn't seen that particular one!
Dave @lemmy.nz 10mo ago I stumbled across it the other day, I can't actually remember what I was doing.
Are Chinese Crested dogs that famous? I can't remember hearing of them before.
liv @lemmy.nz 10mo ago You were browsing potential pets to get for your kids. Or maybe reading about Deadpool.
Nope they're fairly obscure, it's just I've noticed over the years that any pup that wins Ugliest Dog is almost invariably some kind of Chinese Crested mix!
Recent examples: Scooter and Mr Happy Face
But I really should add a link to Sam from 2005.
Dave @lemmy.nz 10mo ago Haha wow, that Sam!
Is the tongue hanging out thing typical of Chinese Crested dogs? It seems to be common in "ugly" dogs.
liv @lemmy.nz 10mo ago No I think it's only when it goes wrong. They are meant to look more like this .
Dave @lemmy.nz 10mo ago Odd. I wonder what it is that makes these win all the ugly dog competitions.
liv @lemmy.nz 10mo ago I have a theory there's a recessive gene or two in there that can easily become expressed. So probably a quirk of inbreeding for that particular breed.
