Dear Bill, HEEEY! Watch it buddy! Lucy's just big boned!!! It's just baby fat!! She's retaining water!! The scale needs re-calibrating!!! Thanks for the reply. To answer your questions and maybe help you to help me determine Lucy's pattern..her arms, legs, tail and underside all almost black. Her back and head are a beautiful off-white/cream with just the VERY tips being dark. When you look at her from a certain angle you cannot even tell that she has black tips, she looks all cream. Her head and face are almost devoid of any markings except her eyes which look like some one just gave her a couple of shiners! The marks are kind of oval shaped like a panda and then of course there are her sweet little piggies which are just white to the first joint. She was darker and had more facial coloring when we got her 4 months ago. Our little rug rat is really blossoming! Thanks for the line, Irena...Lucy's mom [Posted in FML issue 1480]
