Well, it's been a week...so I decided to take Auryn out for a brief photo op/handling session. He was a little skittish at first: "Who are you?!" "You're scary!"... but after sitting quietly, he decided that I wasn't -too- terrible, and he explored a little.
I kept it short--probably a little under 10 minutes. But I got a few photos in that span of time
He's not terribly "Lemony" yet...Kara and Kev both told me the day I picked him out that he'd probably yellow up after a few sheds. They also told me that many young pastels go through an "ugly" phase... No matter what phase he's in, I think he's beautiful!
His pattern still blows me away--and he's got this little thing in a blush on his back--I call it a "vampire bite", Sarah described it (in a MySpace photo comment) as a "bulls eye". It's really neat.
Here's the few photos that weren't terribly blurry.
In this pic, you can kinda see the "vampire bite"--
