One Week Old!

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
