Ember is Capri. 
Period. Well, minus the black toes. I even got to put peroxide down her throat the night before last and she even inherited the bionic stomach, like a steel trap. And yesterday, she apparently got into a scrap with a mouse (all I can figure- my yard is too well-fenced for anything else) and has a missing chunk off the top of her nose, with 2 channels, like mouse teeth. Really does a lot for that gorgeous face. Capri has this thing for mice, too, and likes to catch them outside. I'm a little worried about infection/disease and hoping the mouse was healthy. I'll have to observe her very closely. I cleaned it well, of course...but little baby immune systems make me nervous. I looked up mouse diseases in my area and they seem fairly uncommon and if humans are bitten, they say the doc "may" prescribe antibiotics and that they almost never are rabid, so fingers crossed. I'll call the vet today and run it by him. I certainly have abx here if that's what I should do, but I really hate to put her on them again just as a prophylactic.
Ely was always darker; Ellie has always looked lighter b/c she's sable and they're b&t. The one pic of her w/Eirick is very sunbleached due to angle. The pic of her by herself is closer, though she's not quite that shockingly red, either. I will say that the blue boys are already changing color and their eyes are not so piercingly blue already, and their coats are getting darker as they start to get a few guard hairs amongst the puppy fuzz. Ely and Ewan are so similar, but Ely has that ridiculous hair and he's a tad heavier built. He's not as different as he looks in pics because you see his face and assume a heavier pup, where Ewan has a different type head, but their bodies are almost identical. Ely's paws are just a hair larger. Ewan was the smallest from birth, Ely the second largest. Ely will favor Capri in size and build, Ewan will favor Aria, I think. Neither have much of their dad's structure to them at all, unlike Eliot who looks just like him.

Yeah, that's the main concern, but I can give her Doxy for that, though we have not had issues w/lepto that I'm aware of in this area. From a bite wound, she could still get it, but the temperatures here make it uncommon as far as the typical urine route of infection.
