Ok. I never really considered what his coloring really was!

  So anyone else have comments on the ideas so far?

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
