Muffin and the Color Changing Coat

A Shih Tzu dog that went from dark brown, to black, to brown, then gold and finally gray.

When we first adopted Muffin, she was this beautiful brown and black mixture. Mostly a dark brown but with a black stripe on her back and muzzle, hence the name.

After she got older, about two years later, she started to change colors. She went to basic black.

Then she started to become brown after a few months, then gold after another, and then finally she became gray.

It's quite strange actually. I don't understand how it happened, but I love her anyways.

I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in biology, Early Childhood Education, and Nursing, and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling.

I'm a lifelong learner, a dog lover, and passionate about the welfare of animals. Though Shih Tzu is my favorite breed, I've also lived with Poodles, Maltese, Yorkshire Terriers, Beagles, English Bulldogs, Carin Terriers, and a Cocker Spaniel. Little critters that shared my space included guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, mice, tropical fish, and birds. (Oh, and one crayfish and hermit crab that my daughter brought home from school)

When not writing, reading, and researching dog-related topics, I love spending time with my 6 Shih Tzu dogs, husband, and family, as well as knitting and crocheting. She is also the voice behind Small Dog Place and Smart-Knit-Crocheting. Please visit my other two sites or send me a note.
