U
OK. So we PONs could be called
chameleons. Seriously. When you see us as puppies, we are one
color. But don’t assume that we will be
that color in the future. We change coat
color more than Lady Gaga changes hair color. But we do it naturally.
When Frodo was a baby, he was mostly grey
in color. And then, he turned mostly cream
color, with grey highlights. And NOW he
has gone almost BACK to his original color – with lots more grey.
And me? As a little pup, I was an adorable dark charcoal color, with
creamy legs. THEN I turned a light grey
color – still with those creamy legs.
I’m STILL a light/medium grey with those creamy legs – but I THINK I’m
starting to get darker again. Which is
good. I’ll be harder to find in the
dark. My human is jealous. Her hair is definitely NOT getting
darker. Unless it is with chemical
assistance.
There ARE other breeds of dogs who change
coat colors. Like Dalmations. Did you know they are born WHITE?! And their spots come out around three weeks. Cool.
Sometimes people see me and think I’m Frodo
and vice versa. These are the
non-observant humans. Besides the difference
in color, Frodo has a medium tail and I have a nubby little tail. I was born with this little tail. Frodo says that’s not the only thing I’m
missing. Very funny.
Anyway, after watching the PONs at Westminster,
one does tend to look closely at oneself in the mirror. Oh and by the way – the Beagle who won the
Grand Prize – yeah, he’s from Canada.
Apparently he was a surprise winner.
I don’t know why it was a surprise – I mean aren’t these things judged
fairly? Isn’t it ANYBODY’S game? I’m not a huge fan of Beagles. I mean they’re nice to look at – but they
howl. Or that’s what I’ve heard. But kudos to Miss P. And if a PON didn’t win it, I guess a
Canadian dog is a good second best.
Oh and by the way - I bet my title caught
your attention – but I bet the subject is not exactly what you thought!
Have a good one!
