Year of the Pig
Happy Chinese New Year everyone! As you might know, Amy is Chinese-American and her family celebrates the Lunar New Year. She and her cousins say it's their favorite holiday because one of the traditions is red envelopes. All of the younger people receive red envelopes from their parents, uncles, aunts and grandparents and do you know what's in them? Money! Money actually isn't that exciting to me but apparently it's what humans use to buy things. Things like treats and frisbees and leashes and tennis balls and food which makes me think that getting money is a good thing.
Amy and her family are going to some big New Year's dinner at a restaurant with all of their extended family. There's supposed to be a lot food but they're not allowing dogs.
This is the year of the pig. Amy's sister, Vicki, was born in the year of the pig. I was born in the year of the monkey, which probably explains why I'm a little crazy sometimes. Amy, David and Amy's niece, Ashlie, were all born in the year of the sheep, which makes perfect sense because, I'm a border collie and we're bred to herd sheep. Okay, so I don't herd sheep, but I do kind of have my own sheep to take care of.
