The puppies (and Breeze) are doing great! They're one week old today, and all are gaining weight...some more than others, but forward progress is always good.
I decided to use the theme of cookies as names for the puppies - with the understanding, of course, that most of the new owners will change the names. This just gives me something to call the pups over the next 7 weeks while they're still with me. :)
Several of the names are modern classics...but there are a few more obscure cookies that I found in a cookie cookbook from 1936. If anyone wants the recipe for any of the older types of cookies, just let me know!!
So, without further ado, Butterscotch Farm's Cookie Litter:
1. Butterscotch Farm Gingersnap
"Ginger"
This sable and white female is petite, and has a sweet little snippet of white on the back of her neck.
2. Butterscotch Farm Pizelle
"Pizelle"
I was inspired by a friend who said the markings on her neck looked like a puzzle piece. Pizelle is one of my "itty-bitties," weighing in at only 13 ounces today. She's the only one of the girls who has a full blaze on her face.
3. Butterscotch Farm Snickerdoodle
"Snickerdoodle"
I can always identify this girl because her whole right leg, all the way up onto her shoulder, is solid white. She has a solid face, and weighs a little more than a pound.
4. Butterscotch Farm Marguerite
"Marguerite"
Weighing in at just over a pound, this little sable girl has a solid face and a partial collar on the right.
5. Butterscotch Farm Vienna Wafer
"Enna"
This teeny-tiny tricolor girl weighed in at 12.4 ounces today. I'm trying to wait until the personalities emerge more before I decide whether I'm going to keep a pup, but little Enna is right up at the top of the list of potential keepers!
6. Butterscotch Farm Molasses Cookie
"Molly"
This cutie is my BIG girl - she was almost a pound when she was born, and is 21.4 ounces today. She has an almost-full white collar, and a tiny snip of white on her face.
7. Butterscotch Farm Peppernut Cookie
"Pepper"
This girl is living up to her name already - she was by far the most active when I was taking pictures. In fact, she was practically up and walking! Pepper has a solid face and a small white mantle on the back of her neck rather than a full collar.
8. Butterscotch Farm Chocolate Chip Cookie
"Chip"
This cute boy has a couple fun little black spots in his white collar!
9. Butterscotch Farm Macaroon
"Mac"
It seems that the boys got the flashiest markings, and Mac is a handsome boy! He's going to look like a classic Lassie Collie with his blaze and full white collar.
10. Butterscotch Farm Twill Cookie
"Twill"
I have trouble telling this boy apart from Mac...the primary difference is that his blaze and his collar are a little closer to being connected. He's another super handsome boy!
11. Butterscotch Farm Spritz Cookie
"Spritz"
This boy has fun markings too - very similar to Chip, except that he's sable instead of tricolor. He has a thin blaze.
So there you have it - lots of names to remember, lol. :P
