One Week Old

I’m still having problems with the internet connection. For the last two nights I’ve tried to down load video to put on the blog but have encounter problems both times. So for now we will have to stick with pictures.


The Naming of the puppies: the first born male is named after the sire of the litter and one of the females is named after Faith. To carry on the family tradition, see Tiga’s blog, the smallest dog is named Peanut. The rest of the litter has a theme: fireworks. This theme was chosen to complement the Sire’s name.


I spent most of the evening trying to take individual portraits of the puppies, but with just one set of hands to hold the puppies and take the picture it just wasn’t possible. Here is a group picture:

In order to make it easier for you to identify, I’ve made “necklaces” for the females and “ties” for the males. The females have pink beads and the males have blue beads. (Please note: for safety reasons, the puppies will wear the necklaces and ties ONLY while being videotaped or having their pictures take and under constant supervision.)

Name Marking Necklace/Tie Weight/ 1 week
Sparkler Pink Right Shoulder Pink with the letter”S” 606 g/1.34 lbs
Cherry (Bomb) Pink Left Shoulder Pink with the letter “C” 550 g/1.21 lbs
Little Bang Blue Right Shoulder Blue with the letter “B” 556 g/1.23 lbs
Peanut Pink Left Hip Pink with the letter “P” 386 g/.85 lb
(Bottle) Rocket Blue Left Shoulder Blue with the letters “RKT” 584 g/1.29 lbs
Radiance Pink Right Shoulder Pink with the letter “R” 524 g/1.16 lbs
Diamond (Daze) Pink Tail Pink with the letter “D” 624 g/1.38 lbs
Roman (Candle) Blue Right Shoulder Blue with the letter “R” 726 g/1.60 lbs
Dee Dee Pink Double Dot Pink with the letters “DZ” (D2) 652 g/1.44 lbs

Dee Dee is the name Faith had when she was a puppy living with Tiga. Radiance and Diamond Daze are named after a group/kit /collage of fireworks. I’ve started calling Little Bang “Little B” because he is the smallest of the males.
