Newly Groomed for the New Year

Tamber & Colin got a long overdue grooming today. It turned out to be one of the better ones they've had recently. Colin actually looks very handsome but being a black dog it is really hard to see how nice he looks in a picture. I'll try to get a few better shots of him in the next couple days.
On the topic of Colin being a black dog - that seems to be less and less true - he is really now only mostly black - more and more brown and white showing up. There are a couple areas on his face that really look white with the hair cut back in this grooming - I'll have to try to get pictures of the color changes. (if you click the picture above you can get the full sized image and see the white on the bridge of his nose - that's not just a reflection of the flash)

Monday night, Tamber & Colin went to Lynchburg with us for Aunt Fran's 90th birthday party. They behaved very well and seemed to enjoy all the people. Of course we have no pictures of them with the "guest of honor" at the party since she doesn't like them too close to her.

The Guest of Honor on her 90th!
