KJ meets "giant horrifying ball of love"

Just to make my life easier, I am mildly reformatting this story from chat (and removing other people's comments, though one person described the dog breed in question as a giant horrifying ball of love, so I kept that).

[12:36] Lamprey met a Large Dog yesterday for the first time. She was Very Brave.

[12:37] (Met as in 'actually interacted with' rather than 'saw at a distance' or 'was barked at in a manner that scared *me*'.)

[12:39] My cousin (who is staying with my aunt and uncle for a month and change because the house she rents is someone's vacation house and they want to use it right now) owns a big black pit. So [KJ] met the pit while we were at the uncle's place (both before and after we went to the beach).

[12:41] First encounter of baby and big black pit:

Dog: *SLURP SLURP*
Baby: *dubious ew-face*

[12:43] Second encounter:

Baby: *cautious, crawling approach*
Dog: *sits up perkily* HIHIHI.
Baby: *sits up sharply, starts to wail in terror* *crawls for me* HUGS PLS NAO SCAAAAARED.

[12:44] Chunks of much of the rest of the afternoon:

Dog: HIHI?
Baby: *pulls back, stares*
Dog: ... aw. *wanders off*

[12:45] Evening:

Dog: HI?
Baby: ... you look maybe pettable. Hrm.

[12:46] Before we left:

Dog: *flop on floor*
Baby: *cautious crawling approach*
Dog: *still flopping*
Baby: ... there's a dog in my way. *crawls around dog, sits at dog's head* I HAS A GLEE.
Dog: Whuh?

(That was yesterday, when we went down to the Cape.)

More baby

So.

KJ bit me on the nipple.

I shouted, "OW" and removed her, as one does under such circumstances.

She beamed at me .... and shook her head 'no'.

This is, of course, hilarious.


... it is, however, less hilarious the second time. Which this was.
