Irene zhang|莫西的故事 Moxi’s Story

莫西来我家的时候是这么的小，一个小可爱。

记得那是2013年的圣诞节的前一天，我和朋友在曼哈顿购买圣诞礼物，突然收到我先生的电话，他说有个礼物给我，什么？礼物？

“还是算了吧，你不知道我喜欢什么。”

他说: “这个你一定喜欢。”

“好吧！那就发一张照片给我让我看看是什么吧！”我很无奈。

Moxi is in such a small size when it came to my house, it is just a cutie

I remember that was a Christmas Eve in 2013, my friend and I were shopping Christmas gifts in Manhattan, suddenly I got a phone call from my husband, saying he has a gift for me, what? Gift?

“Don’t mind that, you don’t know what I like.”

He said: “You will definitely like this.”

“OK! Then send me a picture of what it is!” I said resignedly

就是这张照片，天，我慌忙中跟朋友打了个招呼说家里有事，打了个出租飞奔回家。到了家的大门口，我先生的车已经在等我了，我先生先向它介绍说：“这个是妈咪，我是爹哋，但是，我们要怎么称呼你呢小可爱？”我们都太喜欢你了，就这样轻轻把你抱进了家门。

开始总想取个中国人的名字，比如阳光，小不点，怎么叫都没反应，你就是这样特别吗？非要自己取个洋名吗？好吧，当我们叫莫西时候你是怎样的高兴头一歪，那时候我们知道了你叫莫西。

This was the picture, oh my god, I told my friend in a rush that I had something going on in my house, and got a taxi to get home quickly. When I arrived, my husband’s car was already waiting for me, my husband first made an introduction of me: “This is Mommy, I am Daddy, but, how do we call you this little cutie?” We all loved you so much, and gently we hold you home.

At first, I always wanted to give you a Chinese name, like Yangguang(Sunshine), Xiaobudian(Little one), but there was no response no matter how I call you, are you this special? Must give yourself a western name? Well, how happy were you turning your head when we called you Moxi, at that time we know that your name is Moxi.

第一次打预防针的时候碰见了你的哥哥，唉，你看起来有点害羞像个女孩子，当然你是我的，也是最可爱的。

自从有了你我们的生活发生了很大的变化。开始的时候以为你会很乖，所以家都留给了你，上班的时候也盼着早点回家搂着你呢，没想到你让我们手忙脚乱：尿得到处都是；我的地毯、我的iPad、落地灯、电线全咬烂了，这可怎么办？

我先生说请个家教，什么？多少钱？一千五10堂课，我的天哪，这么多，没有选择，要么再买新电器，要么妥协，我投降了！

When you got your first shot we met your brother, eh, you looked like a shy girl, but of course, you are mine, and you are the cutest.

Since after we had you our lives change dramatically. Primarily we thought that you will be very nice, so we left the whole house to you, we were also hoping to go home early to hold you when working, but we didn’t expect that you made us all busy: you peed everywhere; my carpet, my iPad, floor lamp, wires were all bitten, what should I do?

My husband said to get a tutor, what? How much is that? $1500 for 10 lessons, oh my god, it is too much, but there was no choice, buy new furniture or give in, I gave up!

慢慢的你变得懂事了，一晃已经来我家5个月了。

你需要做手术了，据说这样就会更长寿，我们希望你永远不要老去，你是那么勇敢的跟医生走进手术室，三天后我去接你的时候我哭得死去活来，他们真的切了呀，你的样子我好害怕。

我们每天一起去外面玩2个小时，有时更久，你开始有了新朋友，奢贝儿是你的第一个好朋友，有一次我们在山上玩的时候一个没留神你逃跑了并且迷路了，我们吓的半死，是奢贝儿把你带回来的，从此你们变成了好朋友 。

Slowly you became understanding, and it was the fifth month you arrived,

You need to do surgery, they say that it will make you live longer, we hope you never get old, you are so brave when you went to the operating room with the veterinarian, three days later when I picked you up, I cried so hard, they really cut it, your look made me afraid.

Every day we go out for two hours, sometimes more, you started to have new friends, Shebeier is your first friend, once when we went to the mountain you ran away and got lost, we almost died out of fear, is Shebei’er who brought you back, and then you two became friends.

有时候他也会欺负你哦，这个时候总是有人岀来帮你，哈哈哈…..

每当别的狗欺负你的时候，奢贝儿就是你坚强的后盾。

时间过得太快，你学会了很多技能，比如和人吵架，装死等想尽办法要吃的……你生气的样子也挺可爱的!

Sometimes he will bully you too, at that time there was always someone there to help you, hah hah hah…

Every time when a dog bullies you, Shebeier is always your strong backing.

The time passed so fast, you learned a lot of technics, such as fighting with people, assume dead to get food…… You still look cute when you are angry!

你也有了自己的朋友圈，奢贝儿、布鲁斯，丹史特儿，咪糕，阳光，纸片等....，布鲁斯的主人退休了要搬去巴塞罗那，记得你等在他家楼下门口不舍和难过的样子，只是我们真的不知道你在想什么，唉!

每次经过他家的吋候，你总是要坐在门口等待，直到我们告诉你它不会回来了，你才离开。我猜你不会忘记你们一起分享生日蛋糕的快乐时光吧！

时间一天天过去，你又有了新朋友。

You had your own friend circle, Shebei’er, Bruce, Danshite’er, Migao, Yangguang, Zhipian, etc...Bruce’s owner will move to Barcelona after retired, remember your sad and unwilling face waiting in front of their door, but we just do not know what you are thinking, ay!

Every time you pass their house, you always sit in front of the door to wait, until we told you that he is not coming back, you then leave. I guess you won’t forget the happy times when you share your birthday cake with him!

The time passes every day, you have new friends again.

慢慢的，你变得安静懂事了。你总是知道怎样才能让我们高兴，也就是在这个时候，我发现了你的毛发开始变白，身上的彩色变得像褪了色的旧衣服。开始我以为这是换毛，后来我发现你是渐渐变老了，你来到我们生活里7个年头了呀，我有了一丝伤感，真的希望你永远不会变老，你为我们带来太多快乐、美好、感动。

当我面对困难的时候我就想变成你，以为这样就可以逃出生天。写到这里，你已进入梦乡，你的憨声惊醒了我，现在已经2:30了，乖乖做个好梦吧！

我也该休息了...

Gradually, you became quiet. You always know how to make us happy, and that is when I found that your hair started to become pale, the color of your body is like old clothes. At first, I thought you are just molting, but then I discover that it is because you are old, wow, you had already come to our life for seven years now, I feel a little sad, I really hope you never get old, you brought us too much happiness, gracefulness, and sensation.

When I face obstacles, I want to become you, thinking then I can escape from them. Write until here, you are already in dreams, your snore noticed me, it is already 2:30 now, have a good dream!

I need to get rest too...
