Pitties tend to have very pink, senstiive skin. It could turn pink because Cieo is excited, upset, cold, hot. She may be more predisposed to skin allergies than another dog, so keep an eye out for smaller red packets or pimple-like areas as well. I would not worry about the skin color change unless she gets itchy when it happens. Enjoy your cutie!
