Additional Member in the Family

Let me see. I havent written for almost 2 months. Have been extremely busy lately. In actual fact, I did not have the mood to blog. I had nothing to write about. I didnt have the mood to write. CNY was quiet and sombre although I am joyful that my sister(with her husband) have returned to celebrate it with us. This CNY, I dont have photos to share because my camera had broken down just when I needed it most. My daughters were looking like princesses (though they didnt act like 1) in those lacy dresses my sis bought. However, my camera works like magic now. I dont know what happened but on CNY 15th, I turned it on and voila! I started shooting pics of my daughters with my sis. Yes.... Juliana is still here. She has been back for 7 weeks and will return to Australia soon.
So, what makes me write again? DOG! I dont like dogs. I am the only person who hates dogs in the family. Although my family had brought up 2 dogs in my life but for unknown reason, I never like them. Anyway, one day, my sis and husband(dog lovers) found a labrador lying next to my car. The moment they opened my car door, it was claimed that the dog jumped into my car and they insisted that the dog and I are what the Chinese called 'yau yuen'. So, they insisted that I keep the labrador, a golden retriever. They took the golden retriever back to my..actually my dad's house. They claimed that Labradors are good for children's development.
Jerilyn is only as tall as the dog so she definitely jumps when the dog comes close. However, it didnt take long before Jerilyn went near the dog and tamed it; stroking its fur and ordering the dog to sit or 'come here'. Jesslyn screamed and tried to climb on me when the dog to her. The kids looked frighten but they enjoyed the screaming and playing. Later, we asked Jerilyn to give the dog a name and she came up with GINGER. We are pleasantly surprised with that name. 'Ginger' is perfect this dog. Dont you agree? Not only is the name most appropriate for the dog, its also gives the dog a class on its own. I usually hear human names on dogs which are not creative at all. I, myself am not creative. All of us couldnt think of a name. That was why we asked Jerilyn to name the dog. For this reason, I dont have the heart to give the dog away. Maybe it is good for my kids. I want my children to be animal lovers, unlike me. The picture below is taken from the internet. I havent got time to take a photo of Ginger yet.
