Hhmmm, I think I can imagine how brindling looks already. Thanks!
I have to say, I sure wish I can see all these interesting color patterns you all talk
about. Most gerbils here at the local stores are grey, brown, black, agouti, and once
I saw a white.
Please let us know if you find your dog. Let me assure you that sometimes, the meter
reader man just doesn't get it. Ours used to always go through the wrong gate too.
So we told him a few times. Nope. So we posted a sign. Nope. So then we wired the
gate shut. He climbed the gate! I guess it takes all kinds of people to make the
world turn...
