Hrmm, that's a good idea Junebug! Saving locks of hair. I think too late for us now, but Yoda's pretty dark on his back area, just his face and paws are really blonde. We talk to Yoda all the time, and ANYONE that doesn't know us (or maybe don't have a dog) look at us like we're crazy. Yoda really does understand, I think we're just too stupid to comprehend what he's saying to us, though I can usually figure out when he wants to play at least.
