A collaged image featuring Sadie, Nicole's girlfriend, and Mya the dog. Sadie is a white, butch woman with clear glasses and brown hair cut short and parted on the side. Mya is a fluffy malamute mix with a huge smile, big silly ears, and one brown eye and one blue eye. There is a background pattern of meat on pink. Sadie is holding a burrito plate away from Mya while Mya rolls on her back and attempts to charm some of Sadie's food away from her. There is another image of Sadie laughing while Mya smiles at the camera, having been confounded when trying to get some of Sadie's food.
