Silverbacks are known to be the leader of the pack, as it pertains to gorillas.
Though he is the most timid of the two, Wilbur could be considered the leader of our pack. He does not have a silver back, but he does have a silver beard and belly.

I am married. We have two boys, two dogs, and two cats. I am on the Oxford Comma team. I look forward to my first large cup of coffee, black, every single morning, and I look forward to that second large cup of coffee, still black, every single afternoon.

Lenore's Thoughts Exactly 
Hi,
He certainly is a lovely looking dog, and the bit of grey is just an added feature. 😀
A touch of class, perhaps? Wilbur, the distinguished dog. 🙂
Yes, I agree. The gray makes him look very distinguished indeed! Very classy and wise.
Thanks, Jackie. Wilbur thanks you, too.
Ah with silver come wisdom!
🙂 MJ
No truer words, MJ, and I’m not just saying that because silver is appearing in my hair. 🙂
He’s so pretty!! I mean handsome. He’s handsome!
He’s pretty handsome! 🙂
The silver is striking, but it’s those eyes that get to me. Blessings – Maxi
Thanks, Maxi. He does have beautiful eyes.
I’ve always been a sucker for a handsome guy with a “touch of grey” (ha,ha) What a great looking dog he is! Good thing we don;t live near … my two lovely little “girls with fur” went to the “spa” yesterday and they are thinking they are looking pretty stinkin’ cute and just might be wanting to come sniffin’ around your place and check out Mr. Wilbur! Enjoy your day.
Wilbur loves the ladies. Ha! I hope you are enjoying your day, Donna. Thanks for visiting.
My dog has white around the mouth as well but he is only six. I wonder what he will look like later on. Great pic.
Hi Karyn. Wilbur started getting white early, too. He’s a bit of a nervous pooch, so I equate the white to his nervousness. I am glad you liked the picture.
Gorgeous dog! He looks like mine right down to the collar, except mine has pointier ears and he is definitely not an alpha dog.
Welcome to the neighborhood, Nicole. Thank you for visiting. I am glad you liked this picture of Wilbur. He’s a good pooch. Wilbur wasn’t always the alpha dog, but as his sister ages, he seems to be taking more care of her. Quite sweet, really.
What a great, crisp shot Lenore. He is lovely! Also, love the new look my friend. Stunning!
Thank you, Stasha. I thought this new blog format was perfect for my ‘year of pictures’. I am glad you like what you see.
Handsome fella.
I agree. Thanks, Patti.
beautiful dog. we’ve recently started calling our pup a silverback, as her dark hair is slowing taking on the standard Yorkie blue/silver. We are hoping she stays mostly black though; it distinguished her!
Love your header and blog layout!
Thank you, Country Wife. It’s funny to watch Wilbur’s fur change as he gets older, then I realize the same thing is happening to me … Well, my hair – as I have no fur. 🙂
The header picture was taken at Amherst Shore, Nova Scotia. Beautiful place providing countless beautiful sunsets.
