Family Matters

My Sis
My sis had applied for a Masters to do some art therapy course in Lasalle and they have wrote to inform that she's accepted! She's gg to do a 2-year part time course. Wow! I am happie for her. Not only that she's upgrading herself, but that she has found something that is brightening her life (I hope).

After she gets her Masters, I am the only one left in the family without a Masters. Sob! My bro got his some time ago.. -.o" I think I should go and study too. Hohoho. Daddy Lim can take care of the baby while I study. ;p I dun mind, so I think he shouldnt too.

I have a dog. We bought him when we moved together with my bro to his new place 5 years ago. He was only a fuzzy puppy when he came, barely the size of my palm. Then, he couldnt even walk properly, let alone bark. Everyone doted on him.

We watch him grow and he is so much bigger than the average maltese. He never fails to jump with joy and bark to welcome us when we return home. He still does it now. He is playful and enjoys a good chase around the house or play fetch.

However, when the babies come along, he lost favour. My mum & SIL are too preoccupied with the kids. Yingxi dun seem to particularly love the dog. With Lil Shauna, I dun stroke nono as much bcos I am too lazy to wash my hands after touching him to carry the baby. Things are made worse when the Yingxuan and Lil Shauna love sucking their hands and putting stuff into their mouth. They too are forbidden to touch the dog and the adults tried keeping the dog away from the kids and their toys. Then, we started to find his barks noisy when he welcomes us. At times, it really feel sad on how we treat/ feel towards the dog.

Luckily, nono still has my sis. She still loves the dog to bits. She's the one who sleeps with him every night now. Clever nono will insist to be let into her room whenever she's home in the night. Despite his bad habit of peeing in "unauthorised" places in the house, he is careful not to do so in my sis' room for fear of being banished. She cut his fur (quite nicely I must say), bathe him, clean his ears, etc. I think nono must be counting his lucky stars to have my sis.

When I see my sis taking care of nono, I do feel ashamed of myself. Afterall, I was enthusiastic about getting him 5 years ago and I too was crazy over him once. Well, I think I shall sayang him more when I see him the next time. I guess playing chase with him helps in getting rid of my extra kgs too. ;p
