Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light.

Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet.

Yes! I love dogs but they are a ton of work. What breeds are you interested in acquiring?
Yes! I would love an Australian Cattle Dog. They originally were developed in Australia! DO you like any breeds?
