Winter Coloring

I was walking the dogs and looked at Cooper and Otis walking shoulder to shoulder ahead of me. It struck me then that Cooper is now red.

Cooper's coat is a lighter red than Oti's dark auburn, but it is still red. In the summer, Coop loves to spend hours out on the deck soaking up the sunshine. By the end of summer, Coop's coat was yellow/blonde.

I thought it was odd that I see Cooper every day, but did not notice his gradual color change.
