project 365 - day eighteen

This picture made me laugh, because I've seen this same look on every animal in the house. It's the "she's hugging me" look. My daughter is extremely enthusiastic about the animals. She loves them. Which is awesome. But the ways in which she shows her affection, quite frankly, sometimes scare the crap out of the poor animals. She tends to pounce. To grab. To hug in a manner that makes those of us watching both smile and cringe at the same time. And then she will always say, after letting go "he likes that". This is usually said right when the newly freed animals is high-tailing it outta there. The fact that she's so sincere about it is what makes it so incredibly cute. The particular victim animal in this picture, btw, is Jasper.
