Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Anti-Matter Nice! Thanks for posting.

I have way too much junk all over my desk, the cleaning person hasn't come this week, my coworker is out, department assistant is late, CEO doesn't understand my emails, and accounting wants receivables within 3 hours.

[EDIT: Language in link, character name]

My Chibi characters were based on Nendoroid proportions (from Head to toe).
When i tried my Chibi style for the first time on year 2009, i used MySims Chibi style (Legs are big as LEGO feet).
After i was interested with some Nendoroids, i noticed if the legs proportion was smaller than LEGO style feet.
Also, i noticed same treatment i learned from Harvest Moon Magical Melody art style.
And i found same case with Re:Legend character design (feet are smaller like Nendoroids legs).

Btw, sometimes i don't understand the concept of being "Kawaii" in Japanese (I'm watching Kawaii International from NHK World right now).
The Kawaii that they portrayed = OVER Saturated fashion looking. Instead of having Cute looking, i felt discomfort to see Fashion Disaster from being "Kawaii" by their version.
But, i see also some Smart Kawaii. Unlike Over Saturated Kawaii, Smart Kawaii are being Minimalist but still have Cute sensations.

Kawaii is usually described as Feminine cuteness by Japanese standard, but i think my Chibi Boxers are very Kawaii enough even though they are Boys.
I found Kawaii Boys are cuter than Kawaii Girls.

@Knuckles-Fajita Holy crow, is he alright? How’s his mood after that? Hope they can find who is responsible.

@Anti-Matter as far as I know in japanese "kawaii" literally means "cute".

It can be used to describe anything cute, it just happens that most people find fashionable girls to be cute.

It's one of those subjective things where you mileage may vary.

@HobbitGamer He was terrified in the vets. He seems okay, just on medication, keep it clean, usual stuff. Cone of shame too!

Thing is, he's a VERY social boy, so seeing him scared is unnerving. It should be sortable though.

And yeah...I think the one responsible would like someone else to find them before I do.

So what happened, is that a stab?

@Yosheel Some kind of bite it seems. Got some internal bruising too.

Ouch. It looks a bit too localized to be a big dog bite but its hard to tell from the picture.

I hope doggo feels better soon, try to resist the urge to hug him for a while.

@Yosheel He's getting loads of cuddles and loves. Jak wont leave him alone either.

It seems to be a bite given its a puncture. Seems to have been a side on bite where two canines cut into him but didnt hold.

Important thing is its not super serious but that doesnt change the fact someone caused my little man to be injured.

By someone you mean some animal. Try not to hold a grudge agaisnt animals that don't know better.

However, if there's a violent dog around, and that dog has an owner, be sure to report the owner. If there's some feral animal going around, report it too. Don't try to do anything by yourself.

@Yosheel No, I mean someone.

Someone yelled at my family from across the dog park that the pups were too rambunctious and such with their friends...despite being puppies, and not long after Mum gathered up the pups and their friends once those people had walked away from it all.

That's when Dax had the injuries, once those people left the park.

It's none of his friends, as that would be obvious under the circumstances.

Are you implyig that this person bit your dog, or commanded theirs to bit it? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your story.

I obviously have only what you tell me, but when somone yells at me telling me that my dog is being too rough with other dogs, it sounds more like a warning than a threat.

@Yosheel He wasn't being too rough with the other dogs. He's a puppy, so are they. It's what they do after all.

But this is an individual who literally screamed at us about our dogs and other dogs, in the designated dog park, playing and being dogs.

And regardless of whether they commanded their dog to bite, is irrelevant. The fact it happened, they didn't intervene, own up or any such thing makes it a crime and they are responsible.

This is the same puppy that had your hand all bitten and wounded some months ago, right? You know from first hand experience that puppies can be rough during play, and other dogs can get tired of them and retaliate too.

Now, let me ask this. You say this person is a criminal because they did not intervene. Did you intervene?

I'm not saying you're to blame, but you need to me more logical and less emotional about these things. Things like these happen, and the owner of the aggressive dog should probably be reported anyway, but this is not as black and white as "you did this".

@Yosheel I wasn't there. My mother was, went and broke up their play, separated the dogs until the people left the area. At which point one of the other dog owners noted the marks on Daxter.

And when ones dog attacks another, in this country, the owner is prosecuted.

If it was puppies playing with puppies, then biting is definitely part of the socializing aspect needed to let a pup know when too hard is too hard. That said, they still have to have a pack leader (the owner/family unit) to be around and take charge when things go awry. At least everyone is ok.

Gents, it's almost quittin' time for my workday! That means packing up and gettin' out, so I can be gettin' on to gettin' in some Forknife. Gotta work on some sweet sweet tiers. Also, This is the Police is so worth the $12 sale price. absolutely love it! Hoping it rains tonight so that I can't mow in the morning.

Oh well hello there, Mr I-Have-An-Avatar.

Congrats for coming out of the smiley army.
