Day 6- Puppies get Names

Day 6- Puppies officially have their "box names." The theme is national parks and monuments. Listed in birth order....

Pup1- 'Bandelier' - Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico.

Born the smallest, he is slowing closing the gap each day. Likes to cuddle.

Pup2- 'Harper' - Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, Virginia

He's a big boy-weighed in at 1.5 pounds this morning.

Pup3- 'Gila' - Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, New Mexico. Pronounced Hee-la.

The talker of the group, one of the smallest but very active!

Pup4- 'Augusta' - Augusta Canal National Heritage Area, Georgia.

The largest and most laid back of the girls.

Pup5- 'Acadia' - Acadia National Park, Maine.

Miss attitude. She's one of the few who stays still and yells for momma to come to her, (rarely works because mom is busy with 8 others) instead of going to find mom.

Pup6- 'Assateague' - Assateague Island National Seashore, Virginia. Pronounced As-a-teage.

Always moving but likes to cuddle, just like her momma Lassen.

Pup7- 'Carlsbad' - Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico.

Despite his name, he is a easy going boy who barely puts up a fuss.

Pup8- 'Wrangell' - Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve, Alaska

A quiet boy that is always exploring the box, thus we have to "wrangell" him up.

Pup9- 'Teton' - Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

Born as the largest pup, he has been in a weight competition between Harper and himself. Has been a favorite of people who meet him. Don't tell him what Teton really means ;)
