OK, I am off to get some work done, again....

He was 8 weeks old when I got him. As of now he is almost 4 months old. He has a dark beard so it blends in with his coloring.

The brooding paraphernalia is put away and the room vacuumed. Mr H has his work bench back.

He gave up his workbench?

He must really like you

These are Wheaten/Blue Wheaten, so carry the brown/red & blue genetics and have a blue beard.
Shows up really good.
