this is my dog sable, she's a pit bull and is 8? i can't remember how old she is exactly.
this is her (and me) when she was a puppy
this is her the other day begging, very respectfully. (she can be inches from your food and not touch it if you don't say she can.)
her in our backyard
and finally, her being absolutely adorable in my bed, hiding from the thunderstorms
