I am a goon dog! Here's proof:

 This is the best picture of me ever taken. I was in Tampa then, the fall of 1996. I have dirt on my tongue! This picture has been sketched by Susan's Aunt Chris. She's so talented! See the sketch or, visit Aunt Chris' art page | |
| Born: | Sometime in September, 1991 (we think) |
| What am I? | I am definitely some sort of Border Collie. I'm taller and have shorter hair than the "show" collies. But I was a stray (possibly abandoned) before I was found, so who knows? |
| Joined Keith: | May, 1992 |
| How I was adopted: | I was found on the side of the road in Illinois by a nice woman, Susan Perry. She took me in and we moved to Florida. Keith's buddy knew her, and told him about this dog in an apartment. Me, a border collie, in 700 sq ft! Keith thought it might be good to get me out of there, so he took me to South Tampa where I was Queen of the Street. |
| Where I got my name: | My finder, Susan Perry, named me Rickie. Keith soon added "Lee" for Rickie Lee Jones. He added "Bouvier" as my maiden name later because he thought it sounded neat. |
| Nicknames: | Tricky Rickie |
| The R word | |

| I have lived in: | Illinois |

| Valrico, FL | |
| Houston, TX | |

| If I could talk, I would tell you: | That I am not a dog. And I deeply resent the 'puppy' that came into my house to remind me of my inner dogness. |
| Why am I special? | I used to be quite the bulldozer in my youth. I could dig a cavern 3 feet deep without blinking. I am very smart, and am totally devoted to Keith. |
