She's Heather Small, the lead singer for M People, a great British dance/house band of the 90s. Love them, and I love her style. I went for a long time with no avatar, but then changed my mind about them. They are our alter-egos.

Shiloh was not treated very well in his previous life. He's terrified of children and extremely leary of strangers. I think the obedience class will help to socialize him, and hopefully he can learn to trust people again. He warmed up to me right away, but he's so interesting-looking that strangers want to come up and pet him and he doesn't like that at all. And I have to schedule our walks so that they don't conflict with school bus action (lots of kids in my neighborhood). He's an extremely good dog, though! I couldn't have asked for a better pup, especially since I haven't had one since Daisy (also a Border Collie) died in 1985.
