Lucky Money!

I was born the year of the rat (Chinese Zodiac). My mom is a rat too so that's why we get along so great. My dad was born kind of on the cusp of a dog year and a pig year so we like to say he has a dog head and a pig tail. Anyways, I am a little rat and I am looking forward to the year of the tiger. Chinese New Year's is on the 14th (same day as Valentine's day this year). I don't really have a Valentine this year. Mom told me that I am her Valentine, but I heard her tell Dad he was her Valentine. I think she told me I could be her Valentine out of pity. I am not that pathetic. I can get my own Valentine! I did meet this one poodle named Penny. We get walked together sometimes and she's pretty cute...but I don't know if I like her enough to throw myself out there and ask her to be my Valentine. I've kind of given up on Valentine's day, but I'm definitely hoping I get my lucky red envelope this year. Last year, Mom and Dad didn't give me any lucky money. I was just a puppy then so they probably figured I didn't need it. I am older now so hopefully they won't forget about me...their little rat! I hope you're reading this, Mom and Dad!
