Do Blondes Have More Fun?

Just recently my girl said to me, "I love you, my red-headed goober!" It caught me off guard, you see, because I've always thought of myself as a blonde. (Not that it matters either way.) But for all that it doesn't matter, it's shaken how I think of myself. Do I look like a redhead to you? Am I having less fun than I thought I was?






My girl said that I have very blonde highlights on my snout, but that all of my fur around my nose, my eyes, and on top of my head is red. Merv said it creates an optical illusion of blonde-ness. (He said he can give me an overall blonde look if I want it.)








Not to worry. While I'm NOT having an identity crisis here, I AM having Stella check out the situation.




Love,
From your apparently red-headed goober friend,
Stanley

Aw Goob, Blonds do have loads of fun, but I'm fairly certain that red heads have loads of fun too. And if you stop to think about it for a minute, maybe you are a blond redhead and get to have twice the fun. In fact, you could take to listening only to Blond Redhead - their new album is pretty good. And just so you know, their dog is a Papillon, not at all blond and appears to have loads of fun too.

Red, blond, brown, black or green...it doesn't matter because I woof you Stanny!

Lots of Licks, your Ruby Bug

Princess Patches said...

Stanley, you are the perfect Aire-color! We have some blond highlights, too, when our hairs grow out a little bit. We haven't noticed any change in the fun level between having the highlights and not!

Aire-hugs,
Poppy & Penny

Petra said...

You are a very handsome redhead, Stanley. I have some red in me, but it's not as pretty as yours.

Molly the Airedale said...

If we compare you to Stella you look a wee bit more red!
We've always heard it said that redheads have oodles of fun and that's you to a "T"!

Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch

Peanut said...

red is a good color. Pappy's hair is red and he got grammie so it can't all be bad :)

Amber-Mae said...

Stanley: My sister E.Beth's hairdresser has a name for your hair color. He calls it a "shaded eight color weave" and my muzzer calls it "EXPENSIVE"

Only your hairdresser knows for sure

Hi Stan

We like your blonde highlights. I (Molly) have blonde bits too but my Mum calls me her black and tan girl.
Your little sister looks as if she is taking her responsibilities extremely seriously while studying your hair colour.

Molly... and Taffy who sends loads and loads of love to his Stella. xxx

Jen and Suki said...

Whatever color it is it totally suits you, Stanley. You're one handsome goober!

Snowball said...

No matter Blonde or Red Headed, I think you are still very handsome.

I've always thought of myself as black and tan... I know that doesn't help...

Kirby said...

Hi Stanley,

I'm multi-colored like you. My groomer says I retained my copper around my eyes, my ears and on top of my hair. Everywhere else that is 'tan' is blonde. I think it's just how we Airedales are supposed to be. He he!

Your pal,
Kirby

Lorenza said...

Hi, Stan!
Like Ruby said... we love you exactly like you are no matter your color!
Kisses and hugs

Joe Stains said...

My Dad has red hair, and Mom calls him a fire monkey. I don't know if that is a nice thing or not, but he seems to have a lot of fun. I do love blonds tho, like Sophie.

Girl Girl Hamster said...

I love you whatever color you are Stanley... Oh dear.. I've got lots of grey hair. Do you think I'm old??

Harry said...

I too have got more red headed since my recent Airedo. Since ma and pa are both redheads, I think it's fairly fitting.

Mummy says no, but I disagree. I am more blonde and I have way more fun then her.

Patience-please said...

We lost you guys! Something is screwed up on the Bloglines feed. So relieved that it was the feed and not that you had done a Marvin on us! PHEW!!!!
Dawg, Stan, you know how much the humans would pay to get that bodacious red with blonde tips??? They would spend all of our bone money!

Noah the Airedale said...

Well matie it's like this. Some of us dales are reddish and some of us are blonde. I am a blondie through and through but my sissie Tess is more reddish. Either way it's all good and didn't I hear somewhere that reds the new blonde.

Hugs and tail wags
Noah

Moco said...

Grammie loves red hair. She says that you are much more handsome as a red head then you would be as a blonde. I don't think I would let Merv touch my curls.

Persephone and Buster said...

hey red is good stanley -- it's "unique"..... like being blue...
it's really fun being blue! we're irish blue dogs .. so don't stress on this.. red is a good color for you to be! i like red heads....
your friend, ms.Persephone

Dexter said...

I think blonde is a state of mind (in which case, you do qualify).

Finni said...

Hmm, my mum sometimes (frequently) says she's having a 'blonde moment' but just before that she always says 'Ooooops'.
What did Stella come up with? Looks like you two are having fun whatever the colour.

Love
Finni xx

I think red-heads rock, so no worries there!

Mr. T-Bone Beasley said...

Goober Stan!!!

I think you look better than a red head or a blonde! See, you have the best of both worlds now! You have the fun blonde side and the independent, spunky red head side! How exciting! You get to be both!

I have 3 tones...I'm a red headed, blonde snouted, black necked four legged human! Woohoo for having different colors! We can be whichever personality that we want!

Slurp!

the Corgi Girls said...

Stan! I (Izzie) am a redhead! Being a redhead is way cool...

Sophie Brador said...

Oh my manly Stanley, You know me. Always shaking up worlds. With you, my darling, I would be nothing if not impulsive. But I'd have to give some serious consideration to smooching your girl. It's just the way I am.

Clover said...

Hi Stan,

I think of your fur as strawberry-blonde. How about that?!

I am glad you like my wrinkle-head picture - I asked mom to post it just for you over in Gooberstan!

Love Gooberclove xo

Charlie said...

Red is good, Stanley. That's what my mom says!

the many Bs said...

hi Stanley and Stella, we think you could be a red head or a blonde - your girl is right. your hair is red with a lot of blonde highlights. we think that you are having plenty of fun, so don't despair.

woofs.

Rudy said...

Yeah, I'd say you have the best of both worlds, blonde AND red. I'm brown-ish, but I could've been 'blue' which is more gun-metal gray, so I think I'm having more fun than the other possiblity in us Bedlingtons.

However, I think your little girlfriend is HOT! (don't tell Josie -- she's in season and she's pretty hormonal right now so she might hurt me)

Love,
Rudy

Juno said...

Stanley Boy!!

Koobuss said...

You are a very handsome red-head, Stanley. And if you were a blond, you'd be a very handsome blond.

And I am not really sure that you are a goober either. You have a great deal of dignity and class to me, Stan.

Love you and lots of Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie

Mr. T-Bone Beasley said...

Stan!

Tell Stella hi!!! She is mighty cute she is! Maybe sometime you both can come down...then the three of us and Noah's clan will help defend my house from the kitties. And THEN!!!! We can come by your house and defend it from the kitties! Those silly felines won't even know what hit them!

Slurp!

Martha said...

Red is the *in* color. My Mom used to dye her hair red, probably because she wanted to look as cute as you. Love, Martha

Nessa Happens said...

Don't worry Stanley - our Mama is a redhead, and she says the blondes only THINK they have more fun - but the readheads are the ones who know where it's at!
