The pups

As I said before, 9 pups were born alive.

They are now identify by wearing a ribbon around their necks. Each ribbon has a different colour for each pup. The following list shows the colour of the ribbon and the name of the puppy wearing it:

• Red - Miena
• Blue - Fito (the only male puppy)
• Yellow - Goldice
• Dark green - Lana
• Light green - Lilo
• Magenta - Nala
• Pink - Abby
• Orange - Cinnamon
• Purple - Pucca

Thinking names for female dogs wasn't easy. I didn't name one in particular, I just agreed in the ones my sisters were saying. Anyway we put the dogs "temporary" names because we didn't like the idea that the dogs should be identify by the colour of their ribbon.

Fact of the day: The most popular dog name in NYC in 2004 was Max, followed by Lucky, Princess, Rocky and Buddy (Dog Names!, 2005). From my puppies' name list only Abby was one of the most popular ones. Abby is in the 8th place from the most popular female dog names list (Dog Names!, 2005). This means that most of the names I have given to my puppies are quite rare and unique.
