When I asked staff to describe Peanut's personality, they use phrases like independent, knows what she doesn't like, is very vocal, won't back down… All the makings for a dominant female. Being the only female, she will be the dominant female in the pack. By next Friday, we will have narrowed down the selection of names to something that best fits the personality of the pups. If you have not submitted a name, watch the live-streaming web cam and see if you can determine their personality traits. The pups are growing and doing well. For comparison, we are looking at Nyssa's growth charts to see how Peanut (who is in a similar situation, being raised with an older pup) is tracking. At the last recorded weight today, Peanut was 8.8 lbs, and Nyssa was 9.3 lbs. <li> 4/28 – 7.2 lbs <li> 4/29 – 7.4 lbs <li> 4/30- 7.6 lbs <li> 5/1 – 7.4 lbs <li> 5/2 – 8.0 lbs <li> 5/3 – 8.2 lbs <li> 5/4 – 8.4 lbs <li> 5/5 – no weight <li> 5/6 – 8.6 lbs <li> 5/7 – 8.8 lbs <li>
