[Mkguild] Group picture - Description

[C. Matthias]

I think the word used most often to describe 
Thomas's coat is "sable".  The only picture drawn 
of him shows him with a brown coat and black 
mane.  (Bryn, the eldest son, does have a black coat).

And I explicitly stated that Phil's hands are actually paws in the description.

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,

Charles Matthias
