This isn’t the cute picture I tried to take an instant earlier where Mimi had her ears standing upright.  Why not?  Recently, among all her other adorable quirks, Mimi has become camera shy.   I took this photo from a distance and zoomed in on her.  Check out those front paws.  They are paddles!  She is so funny with the way she flops them onto me  and curls them around like a hand.

She is still The Termite.  Not much has changed except now I keep stainless steel bowls in some spots.  Those are the spots where she climbs onto and uses those paddles to pull things off that she might like to chew.  Lately she’s focused on the pens by my computer.  Last night I was about to use a blue pen I had put down in front of me earlier and couldn’t find it anywhere.  So I got up to search for it, and sure enough it had been moved to another room, and it was well slobbered.  The good news is it was still usable, unlike the last several pens she got.

I just love the white rainbows on her legs.  And the freckles on her snout.  Herding breeds come in such beautiful colors and patterns.  They are definitely unique in the variety they offer.
