Pupdate August 23, 2006
All the pups are doing very well and Nykeita is doing okay too. She is not liking having to stay in the room and enjoys her time outside. She even tried to make a new den under the porch tonight had to drag her out covered in dirt silly girl!!
The boys are pretty easy to tell apart but the girls are very similar (fawn, black mask, no white) so I put rick rack on them to hopefully keep them apart. We'll see if mom leaves it on. Also put it on the boys just b/c they looked left out :-) ! but you can tell them apart w/o the rickrack.
Thanx to everyone who submitted names - I gave Nykeita's original caretakers first right to naming and only usurped them on a few pups :) !
Pup 1 - Bongo -- up 1 oz to 18 oz - male, fawn w/white markings
Pup 2 -- Jade (pastel rickrack) - up 2 oz to 18 oz female
Pup 3 - Blackjack -- up 3 oz for 20 oz tonight, dark male w/no white
Pup 5 -- Tara - (royal rickrack - blue, purple, gold) - up 2 oz to 21 oz (she is short & stout!!), female
Pup 6 -- Monty - up 1 oz to 17 oz, male fawn no white
Pup 7 -- Kiara -(gold rickrack) up 2 oz to 18 oz, female
