1 week old

If you are following on the Facebook Infindigo Finnish Lapphunds group, or on Instagram, then you will have seen that I have been toying with the idea of changing the name of this litter from Kuume to Raita.  Well, I'm going to do it (Kennel Club permitting, as always.)

"Raita", pronounced approximately "right-ah" is the Finnish word for "stripe" and when these puppies lay themselves out in a row, as tiny puppies are wont to do, then they look like nothing more than a row of stripes in shades of cream, brown & black.  Pretty cute.

Although they don't officially turn 1 week old until tonight, I'll be switching to morning weighings and photos from here on in.  So, here are the Raita puppies on the morning of their one-week birthday.  They're looking a little bit more like puppies and a little bit less like mice now.  By next week's portraits they will have started opening their eyes.
