Itty Bitty Butters’ Babies Cuteness Factor Update
Smiley happy puppy dreams
I went for a visit with the Butters’ babies yesterday. Needless to say, they are all adorable, but it’s amazing how different the color is on one of the puppies in particular – he’s a pale creamy orange. Not tan, not cream – orange.
His sister is going to be a fawn pied (white, basically, with teeny tiny fawn spots which will develop later on), his brother is a sort of dark cream with darker ears and a mask (a color some people call ‘American Fawn’), but the little guy is the color of a *creamsicle*. He’s a sort of pale, tangerine orange, with a big white blaze up his head, and a dark mask.
Best of all? He’s a smiley puppy, one of those puppies who looks like he’s *grinning* all of the time. Alvin was a smiley puppy, and we all know how cute he was. Creamsicle boy’s adorable factor is pretty much off the scale. Oh, and Paula has been calling him ‘Hammy’, which is short for Hammy Hamster, which is a dig on the fact that, next to his beefy big brother, he looks like a tiny little baby hamster. That’s ok, kid. With looks like yours, who needs size?

Every time I watch “The Future is Unwritten“, I’m left thinking the same thing – I miss Joe Strummer.
Barb Brown, 1994
Here’s an old photo of Barb that her friend Shannon dug up.
It was taken in 1994, and shows Barb in the training room at Bokhara Kennels, where Barb worked as a groomer. We’re pretty sure that one of those creams is Hillary, aka Citadel Shotsilk Hillary.
Hillary was one of Barb’s favorite Frenchies.
