Yay, it’s the last week of 2017! Not that we didn’t enjoy 2017 but we believe that 2018 will bring even greater things!

There’s a lot to be thankful for this year. I turned five and passed my annual health checkup with flying colours. My skin though still itchy is miles better than what it used to be. Mama and papa still love me and each other lots and I made many new friends and received many gifts throughout the year. I can’t be any luckier!

The end of the year is also a time for reflection (Well, that’s for the humans to do while I continue to eat and eat!). Every year, we look back on the posts that we have done in the past 12 months and compile the top 10 most read ones.

This year isn’t any different, so here goes!
