Actually, Riley is a bitch...literally...she has this little white spots on her head, probably the heeler markings coming thru...she is turning out to be a quite amazing dog herself...

Post script to the turtle story, the pics don't show that it was a big honkin' mofo, I estimate about the size of a large serving platter...after the photo shoot, our model disappeared fairly quickly, I assume making the 10-15 foot descent back to the waterway...
