It's Bathtime Bitch!

I realize this is a pretty self-indulgent post, but this photo just kills me.  This is Nikita during the rinse cycle of her bath.  You can't see it, but her wee tail is tucked under her tiny heinie, so pathetic!  But then her eyes seem to be saying "Come closer, I dare you.  I'll tear your throat out!"  I can't decide if I should feel pity or fear. 

I think the butterfly decals (circa 1970) are the final indignity.
