My bp gets brighter and brighter after every shed it seems. After this last shed, I swore I had a pastel. She's a bullseye bp so she has all these spots in her black that are coming out real light in color, and patches of white here and there. And after the last shed, I was looking at her while she was sitting on my bed, and she looked like a lemon pastel or something. It's weird. Hope it continues like this and she does the opposite, getting brighter as she grows.
