Meet my Grandma’s dog, Moron.

Dont let the photo fool you, he is in fact a lazy dog. :P

Well, his name is actually Lucky but my Grandma speaks Hakka so doesn’t realise or know that my aunty named him Lucky.  Poor dog, I know.  His name is roughly translated from a Hakka cursing phrase: “Bok Thai Lan”1, it could be worse though.

If anyone can shed some light on the breed of Lucky – or any other interesting fact – your more than welcome to share them. :)   Plus, I’d feel less stupid when asked by friends. :P

I wish I could train him to be more active and actually feed him some proper dog food2 but the lucky (no pun intended) dog is all the way in Hong Kong.  All I know is his favourite foods are fish bones and pork bones. :D

Sleeping. ^^

Didn’t realise how hard he’d be to photograph, without looking like a splodge of black paint, haha.

  1. Something like that, I’m not great with phonetics.  I’m also not entirely sure if I’ve even translated it right.  It’s not a nice phrase though, I know that much. []
  2. He’s basically given my grandma’s dinner left-overs. :D []

    Heh, I’ve heard worse names for dogs. ;) A friend’s brother wanted to name their dog ‘tombstone’ or ‘coffin’ … which would sound exceptionally weird especially if their neighbours overhear them calling their dog. (Think “COFFIN! Come here!” or “TOMBSTONE! Sit!” :P )

    OMG! Moron? Seriously LOL poor dog! I had a dog nicknamed Moron (by my dad). Oh, and I’m terrible identifying dog breeds.

    @Lene: I know, it’s an extremely unfortunate name. It sounds very funny in Hakka though – not that that’s any consolation. :P
