Just stopped off at home during my lunch break (today has been MAD), and while idly browsing through my hard drive for icon source material, I discovered that I have pictures of my dog. This immediately requires a picspam, because some of y'all have wondered.
So this is Ricki, my five-year-old border collie/black lab mix, in all her glory. These pictures are a couple of years old, but she was full-grown then and she hasn't changed at all in appearance or personality (or energy, for that matter -- she's an overgrown puppy, I swear). She's still as cute as all hell, smart, sweet, and will easily charm your socks off.
Look at me, begging for food!
Look! I'm still begging! And I will continue to beg until you share! FEED ME.
Now rub my belly, because I am sweet and you can't resist my charms. And then you should feed me again.
And that is why I clean up her poop. :)
