Duggie's eyes - UPDATED!

[Victoria25]

George the choc lab has very pronounced eyes too- like Jarv. Perhaps its a liver thing?

it definitely is for those who carry the liver gene and have pinky/brown noses and paler eyes.  The liver working cockers I know with darker pigmented nose and darker eyes don't seem to have this as pronounced 

Definitely right! Just looked at his nose in a photo and it is light!

(If Duggie rubbing at his eyes more than normal then I would definitely check it out - and as he's going to the vetinhairyone anyway I would get him to check it   )

I have never heard of a bull been described as liver before, is it not just brown?

sheesh Fiona, where have you been - have you never heard the phrase 'how now liver cow' before?

Oh yes, I use that one in my elocution lessons all the time.

He's not been rubbing his eyes at all, although I've probably taken a few hairs off trying to remove the non-existant gunk! I wasn't sure about taking him to the vetinhairyone at first, as it seems everytime I open my mouth at work, it's to say "Duggie has...", "Tia is..." "One of my rats needs...", I think they must be sick of giving me free advice!

What were you doing that you were looking into a bulls' eyes?

I was wondering that too

(I like the word 'brown' best of all  )

 

You see what you have done to me Helen....it's all your fault....I'm now referring to brown cows as liver cows cos my head has gone skew wiff with all the talk about liver, brown and chocolate dogs on here 

The gorgeous brown bull is in a field just down the road and Chloe and I walk past him most days.....sometimes he is right up at the fence and Chloe likes to go and say hello....they've even had a wee kiss through the fence....so I did get a very good view

I was thinking that when I read it, "Sue is scared to call any animal brown or chocolate now, in case she gets a row".

Did you see that programme about liver bears the other night Sue? It was on just after Boney M were on singing "Liver Girl in the Ring", and just before Van Morrison's "My Liver Eyed Girl".

  oh god, tears of laughter here 

[Lily Freya]

think for some reason this series of snow ones showed up ol' pink eyes really clearly - this was one of the ones that Annette commented on 

Pink rims or not................I think Jarv is just adorable.

That had me in stitches too

I've got a couple of baldy eyes too! Dave's eyes happen to be in his black patches not roan areas so luckily the skin is so black underneath that you can't really tell. Normy has pink rims too - The Weimy silver colour is actually a dilute form of brown liver so she's got the same pinkness around her eyes that Jarv has

I just saw this, me too!

Tilly has very noticeable pink rims around her eyes as well although she has a darker brown nose.

Roxy is liver/Chocolate/brown roan  and she has 'baldy' eyes too! although not quite so pink they are lighter than her fur and more pinky than liver/Chocolate/brown!!

Is this now the correct way to describe a poopy coloured dog so as to avoid offending anyone!!!? 

[Rats and Dogs]

I'm now wondering why all these "liver" dogs have pink skin, plus Dave has black skin under his black hair, but Duggie has white skin under his hair??

I remember years ago, when one of my brown and white hooded rats had an op, he had a huge shaved area, and he had striped skin under his striped fur!

Yeah that's the right way so Roxy's a poopy roan and Tilly's a solid poop

Don't get me started with those song titles again - "Don't it Make My Poop Eyes Blue", "Poop Sugar" - NO, I won't go there!

[Helen]

yep, I have a solid poop here too   

this theory does make our prime ministers name quite accurate though
