The Cooper came for a visit and now he is home playing catch-up on his sleep, I am sure. He also got to see the pups but more of that on Fiona's blog.
As you didn't see Truffie for quite sometime, I figured I would put up some photos of him. His hair was snatched off by a visitor so we are in growing back stage and I refuse to trim it till it's long enough so it's rather messy. This way I can shape it properly when it is fully grown out. Head hair grows back the slowest of all hair. I am not sure why but it is true so if you cut the bangs short expect a slow motion growth spurt.
I tried to get a photo of Truffie but it was an experience as it always is except when you catch him doing something other than posing. Here Cooper, Doozie and Coco are wondering why he's standing on the pad. I think Truffie is smart enough to make sure I never get a POSED photo of him. :-)
I did brush him but he is a man who likes to roll after getting brushed out.
Here are a few more of him. As I said, he's seen better days but the coat on the head is coming back. The tail and the body hair has never been an issue.
Truffie is a character - a lovable one at that!
Nathan caught him with devil eyes - red eyes of course. His eyes are brown actually.
Then he said he would try to stack him - yeah still has to have a tongue out. But he's cute never the less but hey I am biased.
Truffie has a lot of white in his brown areas of his coat so he looks lighter than darker depending on the lighting etc. He is in his lighter than usual stage look but he will go darker again. His coat does that. He has a number of colours through his coat and in the summer he turns a reddish brown. He is a chocolate.
Truffie is a laid back boy who is quite funny. When he is going to mate he looks at you as if to say - can I please - can I?
His fave place is sleeping under an ottoman in the TV room. He barely fits but it suits him just fine. He also swims, is an excellent retriever and LOVES, LOVES, LOVES toys. I can have treats in my hand with a pile of dogs and he will sit back, wait his turn as he knows he will have a turn. I rather enjoy his personality. But his head hair - well it needs to grow back. :-) It' s getting there. At least it's not sticking straight up like it used to and I can now put it in a rubber band. That's progress.
Truffie and Cooper were playing wonderful earlier today and I say earlier - like 6am. hehe
