Brindle is a coat coloring pattern in animals, particularly dogs, cattle, guinea pigs, and, rarely, horses. It is sometimes described as "tiger-striped", although the brindle pattern is more subtle than that of a tiger's coat. The streaks of color are irregular and usually darker than the base color of the coat, although very dark markings can be seen on a coat that is only slightly lighter.
The brindle pattern may also take the place of tan in tricolor coats of some dog breeds (such as Basenjis). This coloration looks very similar to tricolor, and can be distinguished only at close range. Dogs of this color are often described as "trindle". It can also occur in combination with merle in the points, or as a brindle merle, in breeds such as the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, although the latter is not acceptable in the show ring. The "dark" markings are black or the dilutions gray (called blue) or brown (sometimes called red). It is not uncommon for a brindled Cairn Terrier to become progressively more black or silver as it ages.
Well, hello there, my, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing? Oh, I guess I'm going fine
It's been so long now and it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away
How's your new love? I hope that she's doing fine
I heard you told her that you'd love her till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing that you told me seems like just the other day
Oh, ain't it funny how time slips away
I gotta go now, I guess, I'll see you around
Don't know when though, I never know when I'll be back in town
But you just remember what I tell you that in time you're gonna pay
