媽媽你小時候有什麼事可以分享，
要分享什麼？比如什麼？
小時候養過的寵物

喔我在國中過的時候
我就跟爸爸媽媽就是你現在的阿公阿嬤
移民去了澳洲布里斯本，
所以呢在那邊我們有一個很大的花園
那我們就養了前前後後
養了4隻狗，
那你看到的那兩隻狗在照片的
就是我們最後養的兩隻大狗
COOTA和 MOMO
那他們兩隻狗狗非常的活潑
那我也很喜歡他們
他們現在去當天使了
我也很想他們
所以養狗狗是需要我們全心付出的
他們也需要有很大的後花園可以活動

所以～～呢！
也期待Ｃlayton你長大
可以有能力自己照顧狗狗
這就是我要分享小時候
在澳洲養寵物的經驗謝謝。

Mom, do you have anything to share from when you were a child?
What would you like me to share? Like what?
Childhood pets.
Oh.

When I was in middle school
I immigrated with my mom and dad,
your grandma and grandpa
to Brisbane, Australia.

We had a big garden over there,
so we raised 4 dogs in all.
The two dogs you see in the photo
were our big last two dogs,
COOTA, MOMO.
These two were so lively,
I liked them a lot.
They’ve gone on to be angels now.
I miss them a lot.
Raising dogs requires our wholehearted effort,
they also need a big backyard to move around in.

So ~
I’m looking forward to you Clayton, after growing up,
to be able to take care of dogs by yourself.
This is what I’d like to share from my childhood experience
of raising pets.
Thank you.

ARTIST STATEMENT
What is the artwork about?
這是在澳洲的一間房子雖然很舊，但是很美麗。房子前有一片綠油油的草地，上面有兩隻狗和狗窩。草地的旁邊有一棵大樹。大樹下有椅子和桌子。房子的前面有一條長長的走道是給車子過的旁邊還有圍欄。當時我媽的感受是很開心，可是現在是傷心，因為兩隻狗狗都死了，所以我未來一定要養狗狗紀念他們。狗狗對我媽是很忠心的，我媽對狗狗是很照顧的，我們就像朋友一樣，因為牠陪我了4年。有時會安慰我、陪我玩、陪我傷心難過，當狗狗看到我時會繞著我、搖尾巴、汪汪叫，屆時我也開心了起來。台灣的房子跟澳洲的房子不一樣，台灣都是10樓層，可是在澳洲事2層樓還有前庭後院
This is a house in Australia, although it is very old, it is very beautiful. In front of the house there is green grass with two dogs and a kennel. There is a big tree beside the grass. There are chairs and tables under the tree. There is a long walkway in front of the house for cars and a fence next to it. At that time, my mother felt very happy, but now I am sad because both dogs died, so I must raise my own dogs to commemorate them in the future. The dogs were very loyal to my mother, and my mother took good care of them. We are like friends because he has been with me for 4 years. Sometimes he comforts me, plays with me, accompanies me in sadness, and when the dog sees me, it will circle around me, wag its tail, and bark, and I will be happy at that time. The houses in Taiwan are different from those in Australia. In Taiwan, they all have 10 floors, but in Australia, there are 2 floors and a front courtyard.
