Because it always happens that way, the twelve-year-old neighbor girl has fallen out of love with cute little Pepper and into love with awkward boney Joe Boxer. Like, head over heals, sitting with her arms around him letting him drool down her neck for hours love. Like, offering to bathe him whenever he needs it love. Like, drawing a picture of him in art class and then bringing it over so he can have it L.O.V.E. Note her attention to detail; the wounds on his legs, the skeletal ribs, his totally "What the hell happened to my life?" sad face. Full on puppy love! Also note she left out his massive balls - she is totally twelve!
Now it’s dogs but soon it will be boys she’s mooning over. Gentle goofy Joe is good practice for her upcoming roller coaster of intense crushes and broken hearts. I guess that is one good thing that has come out of our mountain of poop and fart fumes that is our life now… Yup., it's the little things.

Awwww, dear wee girl. I just love how you paired her sudden and deep passion for Joe with her upcoming 'painful crush' part of her life. And, yes, Joe is a wonderfully gentle introduction :-)

Thanks, Karen! Her feelings for Joe are JUST like her coming feelings for boys - only Joe won't break her heart. I hope.
