As hard as it may be to believe that I could have forgotten anything of significance, it is a fact. I did almost forget about Dazzle's "moon spot"
Of course, as her fleece grew longer, the moon spot blended in with the surrounding fleece and was not noticeable, so I really didn't think about it.
Until shearing day last week...
Sure enough! It's still there!
Dazzle's own, personal, little "Beauty Mark".
I'm not even sure exactly what a 'moon spot' IS. I know that a "true" spot is white. Dazzle's moon spot is not white ~ it a lighter shade of her base fawn/mioget color. Perhaps incomplete expression of a spot? Or incomplete expression of the base color?
Who knows?
Not that it really matters anyway! We love Dazzle just the way she is. Although, a LITTLE less obnoxiousness when there are cookies around wouldn't be a BAD thing...
DREAM says...
"Beauty Mark? Pphttttt! It looks more like a birth defect to me! Probably from her Mom eating too many cookies!"
DREAMER!
Obviously, it's hot and muggy in the Bluff Country again today...
Aw I think Dazzle is gorgeous. You can tell Dream she is one great big beauty mark! tee hee
ReplyDeleteIt is hot and muggy here in Michigan as well.
ReplyDeleteYou asked a few days ago on twitter if anyone likes this weather....I do! I love it! The hotter and muggier the better. I am much more motivated when it is this type of weather. Waited all winter for this.

ReplyDeleteAND, don't forget, Dixie, Dazzle's daughter, has a moon spot on her back haunch area! :)
Yes, Dreamer, I think IsobelleGoLightly has the right of it; you ARE one great big beauty mark! And such a ham!
Hugs! I hope this storm takes away the blasted heat and humidity....

Dazzle was such a cute baby!!
ReplyDeleteMy BIL's boxer just gifted him with puppies yesterday. Unfortunately, in spite of loving care, one of them died overnight... but the other 5 are thriving. Babies (of any sort) are such wonderful gifts to the world - aren't you lucky to have so many?!!
:)
What fun little secret she keeps, you only find it when she's sheared :)
