Cousin Pepper

I must admit that I'm not really a dog person.  I don't dislike dogs... but I'm not really dying to have one either.  Well... that might be changing a little.

Meet Pepper.  Pepper is Ava Kate's four-legged cousin by friendship. You see, my best friend in the whole wide world, Amanda, is "Aunt Amanda" to Ava Kate.  Amanda & Cory recently became parents to this sweet, precious dalmatian named Pepper.  Therefore, logic follows that Ava Kate & Pepper are cousins by friendship.

Ava Kate is smitten.  Look at that face.

She preferred to go 3-Stooges on Pepper and poke her eyes out.  This is how we show love in our family... Don't judge us.  See the resemblance?

Pepper was a good sport about it all really...

...Even when Ava Kate about pulled her ear off.

And that my friends, would be my "Ahhh!  Ava Kate!  Don't pull her ear off!" face.  Enjoy.  :)
