Q: What do you do when the man you love is almost 10 years older than you and, alas...sigh....you're only 11 months old?
A: You use your charm and deluge him with attention and kisses, hoping that he'll return your affection.
This is the relationship of Zoë and Piper. On some days, Piper accepts Zoë's affections. Other days, well.... he tolerates much less. Let's just say that he loves to ignore her. This usually has little or no effect on our little ball of sunshine! She takes it completely in stride and keeps a positive attitude.
Piper has most definitely brought some 'calmness' to Zoë's life. Learning by example, she has gotten much better at "fetch" - thanks to her older, wiser Duck-toller buddy.
The funniest part is that when we go for our early morning walk, Zoë remembers where Piper lives and without hesitation, she always heads up Piper's driveway and straight to the front door. She'll patiently sit at the front door, look in through the glass and wait for Piper to come to the door. Usually ringing the doorbell isn't necessary.
Secretly, I think Piper likes Zoë more than he lets on. Isn't that always the way?

You have to admit, he's really handsome. I can see what little Miss Sunshine sees in him.
I think it's his quiet intensity...
