Ruby's Tummy

I thought about posting this in 'Dog Health', but I'm really not too concerned about this being a health issue :confused: Anywho...

I was looking through some old photos to find some good shots of Ruby for this neat new frame I got. Well, I noticed that since Ruby came to live with us a little over a year ago the skin on her tummy (she doesn't have much fur there) has gone from pink to nearly all black :confused: Is this normal?? :confused:

this photo was taken early April of this year

I took this one a few minutes ago.

Sorry the photos aren't that great. I can try to find better ones if you want.

Should I be concerned? Or is this just something that happens with age?? :confused:

Here's a pic of the frame I was talking about...

Isn't it cute? :)

I guess it's just something that happens. Simba's is rather black as well when it used to be pink.


Cute Frame!:)

I don't know about the tummy color thing.

RUBY! You're stunning as always!!! :D :D :D *SCRITCHIES*

That is an adorable picture frame! It reminds me of your old siggy that had Ruby's pictures in all four letters of her name.

Yeah, I think that's normal. Chester's was the same way, pink with some spots. Now he has a few spots and no more pink. Mostly dark grey. It's darker on one side, too. :)

Sadie's black fur makes it hard to see her tummy but it seems like a color change would be an age related thing.

That frame looks great! Ruby is so pretty.

Thanks for the responses :)

I figured it was probably a natural thing, but it's nice to have reassurance :D

Ruby says thanks for all of the nice compliments! :D

I love your frame. :)

I think as they grow older the coloring changes... Chilli's tummy was all pink, but not any more. I was laughing at Chilli that those are her "age spot". I just love to tease her. :D So nothing to worry abt. :)

My grandma's shi tzu has a pink tummy in the winter, and s black-speckled tummy in the summer. :)

I'm sure its normal becuz most dogs i see have dark colored tummies and my lab used to have a pink tummy but when he got older it turned like ruby's

I don't have a clue as to what to tell you. And, I have got to know where you got that picture! I want one.

What a LOVELY frame!! Does that exist for cats too??

Yes, they had them for cats too :)

I got the frame at a local fair. I've seen the booth set up several differnt times at different county/state/street fairs :) I think they're based out of Florida. There's a URL on the back of the frame, it's www.luposartgallery.com, they may have them there :) My sister has one that says "HAWAII" and she has photos from her Hawaiian vacation in it. I love it :D She also got one that says "BROTHER" and put of bunch of pics of her, our bother, & myself in it and gave it to him for Christmas. I love those frames, they're so cute!

I know Sierra's has changed already and she's only 2!!

Asia's has changed too.....from pink to black.:)

Love the picture frame~!! Too cute~!


Thanx for sharing~!:D
