7 Weeks Old - Check us Out

These photos were taken today. They are really growing up and getting so active. They play all the time and are doing so well at their potty training. Buster asks to go out now.

The first photo is of Delilah. She is the most mature physically and emotionally. She stays awake the longest and has the best bark right now. She is very very curious and observant and loves to cuddle. Remember Delilah is a hebrew name and she betrayed Sampson. However; our delittle Delilah is just "delightful!"

Buster is the only boy and his very favorite game is tug of war. On your socks, your pants or any toy. He has the longest legs of the bunch and is doing the best with potty training. He is so handsome!

Buster was originally a nickname denoting a person who broke things, from the word bust. A famous bearer was the silent movie star Buster Keaton

Scarlett (left) is still the runt of the litter in size, but certainly not in attitude. She demands top dog spot with all the puppies. She has a very nasty growl and lets them know she is the boss. She is a lazy girl when she wakes up from her puppy naps but is the best eater of the dog food. The others would rather drag on Cricket. She also reminds you of a stuffed animal and she almost doesn't look real. Her name is English and comes from from a surname which denoted a person who sold or made clothes made of scarlet. This name was used by Margaret Mitchell for Scarlett O'Hara, the main character in her novel 'Gone with the Wind' (1936). Scarlett's name came from her grandmother's maiden name. Our Scarlett has a personality just like Scarlett O'Hara!

Rosie is the pup that has stolen our families heart. She is by far the sweetest and the most different looking. She is all tan and has short little legs. She looks like a baby golden retriever. She is a pure snuggle bunny and loves to fall asleep in your lap or anywhere near you. When she runs she sort of hops everwhere. She has trouble getting back up the step into the house after going outside but works and works at it with those little legs until she makes it. We will be adopting her and she will become part of our family! Her name was originally a Norman form of a Germanic name, which was composed of the elements hrod "fame" and heid "kind, sort, type". It was introduced to England by the Normans in the forms Roese or Rohese. From an early date it was associated with the word for the fragrant flower rose (derived from Latin rosa). When the name was revived in the 19th century, it was probably with the flower in mind. She is that, our little flower!
