Congratulations on the new baby Crash! Do I detect a link to the movie “Aliens” in the name Newt?

Very nice catch! Most people I tell think "Isaac Newton" or "Fig Newton" but I am a huge Sci-Fi buff. I usually name all my female pets after a kid in my favorite Sci-Fi movies. My daughter's Yorkie who is now 11 is named "Gertie". LOL

Quick question, Newt has black on her head. Will it turn orange as she gets older?

She is gorgeous! That should change to orange. I have a friend who breeds them, and I saw one of her last year's babies a few weeks ago and her head was completely orange.
