Cheryle, thank you so much! I don't have any actual, well, HUMAN children, ha-ha, although this little peanut is so loved and protected like an actual child...I had no idea that a little dog (or any dog for that matter) could matter so much to me. My family always had dogs growing up, but this is my first, true, MY dog, LOL, having just moved out on my own. Anyway, it means a lot to me that others think she's as gorgeous as I do.
Her color isn't changing a lot yet; she's getting a little more slate/grey/bluish on the top of her head and on her belly, but I love the tan and black! I wish she'd stay that way!!
I think I resized the pictures, let's see if this works a little better. If it doesn't, well, I give up.

Thanks again!
By the way; the woman in one of the pictures is my mom; the guy and baby in another of the pictures is my boyfriend's brother and my boyfriend's niece.
