Gray Belly

Today we celebrate Cooper's gray belly!

Now, I know that for most dogs a gray belly would not be a good thing. A dog's belly should be cotton candy pink.

When we first got Cooper, his belly was BLACK and the skin was very rough. When brushing him tonight, I saw that his belly is now gray with little flecks of pink.

I don't know if Cooper will ever have pure pink skin. However, I know that his high quality food, vitamins, brushings and baths all seem to be working.

Those little flecks of pink give me hope that perhaps we can erase some of Cooper's sad past.
