spots

Hi All,

Got a note from one of the Casino kidz mom's that her puppy has a black 
spot that has just recently appeared on her tongue.  Just wanted to note to 
everyone as I have had others in the past become concerned about this that 
this is nothing to be concerned about.  It's just pigment like a 
freckle.  Many goldens have these, some people will say to you oh your dog 
is part Chow...  NO!  lots of dogs have pigment on their tongue not just 
Chows. :-)   Many of our dogs have this, our Lucy for instance just 
recently with in the past month to 6 weeks had one appear on the very end 
of hers.  They normally do not go away but do fade with age often.
