三岁啦！小恶魔们变天使！
Alpha and Beta are two babies we have been kept in our family. Alpha is a Labrador Retriever boy, born in May, 2017; Beta is a Miniature Schnauzer girl, two month younger than Alpha.They are a source of joy to our family.
Alpha loves to interact with people and he is excited to meet anyone. He is very outgoing, active, and has lots of energy. He always eats like a horse, gobbling it all up within a minute of every meal! He’s an especially understanding sweetheart who comforts me whenever I’m upset. But he still loves his daddy, Ken, the most! The funnier thing is that when he’s left alone, he sometimes murmurs like a little piggy. I’ve been looking for the ‘pig’, wondering if Mr.Huang brought home a new pet.
Beta is especially clingy to me, her mom. She’s a very wary dog, a bit of an introvert, and will play almost exclusively with Ken and me. She gets a little jealous if I’m close to the Alpha. That’s also because she loves me so much! Every time I take Beta out, I get compliments on how well behaved my dog is! Beta is a really good kid and rarely annoys me.She stays quietly in her seat when I’m driving, sleeps quietly on the couch when I’m studying, and pays attention to me through the window when I’m working in the garden.
They all understand many commands such as sit, lie down, roll over, shake hands, stay still, etc. Alpha can even catch a Frisbee! Speaking of which, here’s a funny thing, every time we play fetch, Alpha is invincible, yet Beta doesn’t know how to play, so she purposely pretends to eat grass, thinking I won’t find out that she’s being lazy. What a fun and emotional morning and evening with the dogs!
阿发和贝塔是我们家养的两个宝宝。阿发是拉布拉多寻回犬男孩，出生于2017年5月；贝塔是迷你雪纳瑞女孩，比阿发小两个月。他们是我们这个小家庭的快乐源泉。
阿发喜欢和人互动，见到谁他都很兴奋。他的性格非常外向，活泼好动，并且精力旺盛。他是个小吃货，每次吃饭一分钟以内就全部解决碗里的食物。他是个特别善解人意的小甜心，每次我不开心的时候，他也特别会安慰我。但是他还是最爱他的爸爸Ken！这点是毋庸置疑的。更有趣的是，当他一个人呆着的时候，有时会像小猪一样喃喃自语。我一直在找那只’猪’，也许黄先生带了新宠物回家呢。
贝塔特别黏我，她的妈妈。她是只很警惕的狗狗，性格有些内向，几乎只爱和我还有Ken玩。如果我和阿发关系好，她就会有点儿嫉妒。那也是因为她太爱我了！每次带贝塔出门，都会得到别人的赞美，说我的狗狗怎么这么乖！贝塔真的是个乖孩子，很少会惹我生气。我在开车时，她就会安静地呆在座位上；我学习时，她就安静地睡在沙发上；我在花园劳作时，她就趴在窗户上关注着我。
他们都能听明白很多指令，比如坐，躺，翻身，握手，静止不动等等。阿发还会接飞盘呢！说起这个，有件很好玩的事情，每次玩接飞盘的游戏，阿发战无不胜，然而贝塔不会玩，她就故意假装吃草，以为我不知道她的偷懒。与狗狗们的朝夕相处，真是充满了欢乐和感动！
Good mom, Sophie~
