extra info - we are in maryland... and we have had a few snow storms.... not sure if it has anyhting to do...

Maybe a picture would help? Maybe it's just the pigment of the color changing? My niece's dog who'll be turning 2 this April, her nose is currently changing color.

I am having a hard time to upload the pic. I am just very worried! I don't want anything bad happening to my baby. I will keep trying to upload the pic. Thank you!

You may have to re-size your pictures to upload.

Max has had a couple of tiny lighter spots on his nose where he had a little dry skin and even lost hair. I put a little organic coconut oil on his nose and everything went back to normal.

Try swabbing with a wet cotton ball and see if the white comes off. Both of my boys have picked up a little something outside and it turned out to be something that wiped off.

If it doesn't wipe off, keep an eye on it and maybe check with the vet.

I see your picture now, but it isn't clear enough to tell what the white spot might be.

I posted the pic. It's above your post. I tried to rub it off, but nothing.

Is she scratching at it or maybe rubbing it against the carpet? Like Maximo suggested, it could be dry? Is the spot getting bigger? If all the answers are no then I don't think it's much to worry about and just keep an eye on it. Otherwise, if it's worrying you that much, maybe you should take her to the vet.

Personally, spending some money only to find out nothing is wrong is better than worrying myself over thinking "is this harming my pup?!".
