Thank you! I'm not sure whether he was listed as "blue and gold" or "black and tan" on his papers, but I think the latter.
And it's funny. He has gotten more carmel and auburn colored during the past two years, lost a lot of beige tone. He isn't very silver at all, which is a little odd considering he'll be 10 in a few weeks.
OH ... and the bed IS comfortable. It's MINE!
