Your right her legs do shine. So Do you think her whole puppy coat is gone? Is the puppy coat what I am mistaken as being cottony? She has like a fuzzy underlayer, or is that just what silk yorkies have? Is both Cotton and Silk breed standard?

Giz is adorable, too! (Saw your raincoat thread. TOOOOO cute!)

And I don't get this "eye reflection" thing either. I'd never heard that before.

I have pix of Ozzie with red, green, AND white/gold eyes. What does that mean? Somehow I think that may be more of an indication of the lighting conditions, distance, and as you said, Judy, the background.

I have no clue....I am just learning as we go here. Me learning??...scary lol Ozzie has such pretty coloring....he is very rich in color and that aburny thing going on like Bella i get asked about it all the time it. He's a pretty one

[Ozzie'sperson]

Awww, thanks Paula! I think he's a pretty boy, but I'm prejudiced!

What's weird is that the auburn has just really shown up in the last 2-3 years. He was always mostly beige there before. You'd think as he aged the color would fade instead of get deeper, wouldn't you?

LMAO -- Amen!

well here ill show ya pics of bella thru aging...i think she went from mostly black to this aburn....but here ya go...see 4 urself....

Here she is at about 4-5 months, then a year approx., then last month. Do you have picsof ozzie like this showing his color change? Bella did go thru a really gray phase...now she just has the gray streaks thru her back shown in pic 4. Diggy is hitting the gray pahse right now too, and with it mixing with all his white....he doesnt really look yorkie to me right now. Funny the phases they go thru.

Im curious too, maybe someone answered this already and i missed it, but when do the outgrow the puppy coat completely? Is it possible Bella still has some of her puppy coat? She was 2 June 6th.

[Ozzie'sperson]

I've got some, but not sure if they illustrate it best. He's always had the copper color on most of his face -- even as a baby. But it has gotten infinitely more intense -- and taken up pretty much his whole face -- in the last couple years. Really an odd change.

1) Ozzie at 11 weeks, within days of bringing him home.
2) Ozzie at 5 months
3) Ozzie at 1 year
4) Ozzie in either 2001 or 2002

And then some from teh past few months ...

[diggy4]

Very cute!!! Love the pic of him posting on YT

[Ozzie'sperson]

Yeah he was "reading" all the nice birthday wishes he got!

(Seriously, I was reading them to him and he jumped up and was looking at them. It was too funny! )

[diggy4]

Soin my posted I asked about when puppy coat is fully gone?? Do you know when?

[Ozzie'sperson]

Maybe by 2?

[diggy4]

hmmm she was 2 in June, but she has this fuzzy cottony under coat....maybe thats just how its supposed to be....who knows...
