Chapter 2-003

To play it safe, I waited outside for weeks,just in case the new neighbors moved in early. Literally, it was weeks. I entertained myself by playing soccer with our dog,Champ. Mostly he'd just block because a dog can't exactly kick and score, but once in a while he'd dribble with his nose. The scent of a ball must overwhelm a dog, though, because Champ would eventually try to chomp it, then lose the ball to me. When the Loskis' moving van finally arrived, everyone in my family was happy. “Little Julianna” was finally going to have a playmate.
