Sarah's pups have names now and neck bands so you can start to tell them apart. Three of the big males look a lot alike so it has been a challenge to keep track of who is who. Also there colors have changed since they were born and the two boys that appear to be a blue brindle look more so every day. This am we tried to weigh them but they are now too wiggly to keep on the scale. I can report that a couple of the biggest boys are now well over 2 pounds. All have more than doubled their birth weight.
So here are their names and the color of their neck bands. -- Tess Trueheart in bright pink. She is the only girl. Tess was the 1st hound born so you know she is a confident and maybe pushy pup. The 2nd born was Smoke who is wearing a white collar. He is a solid blue/gray color with a white fur collar and is the biggest of them all. The 3rd born was Indigo who we are calling Indi. He is mostly a solid blue/gray with a large triangle shaped blaze of white on his abdomen. He is wearing a purple/blue collar. 4th born was Charcoal who we are calling Coal. He appears to be a blue/gray brindle with a triangle blaze on his chest. He is wearing a black collar. Fifth to the exit was Cobalt. He is the "cow dog" and wearing a bright blue collar. He is also the big climber and just learned how to get up on all 4 legs! The 6th was Nickel or Nick as we are calling him. He looks a lot like Indi with a blue/gray brindle back but has a V shaped white blaze on his tummy. And the last and cutest maybe is Slate. He is quite a bit smaller than his brothers and has unique markings. He has a dark muzzle, dark stripe down his back and a light colored head. He is wearing a gray collar and he is the one always late for dinner!
Sure looks like they will be quite a bit more mobile in the very near future!
