Hush puppies

The puppies are 13 days young now. It is unfortunate because the first-born died of hypothermia while another one died few hours later, last December 16th. When I picked the first dead puppy, Macy seemed to cry because her eyes were sad (she saw me put the puppy in a plastic bag) and then she started searching for it. The 2nd one, my son picked it up and buried it at the backyard.
Now, the 3 puppies are showing their distinct colors. Macy is a pure Japanese Spitz, and the father is Thor, a ¾ Spitz and ¼ local bred dog. The puppies have black for one, brown for the other, and white for the third. My brother thought of naming them Blackie, Whitie, and Brownie, which is so generic at all!
Many times any of them go out of the makeshift cage and find Macy. They have not yet opened their eyes but they move around fast. Uncle Xander keeps watch over them when Macy is outside the house. Trixie, the other female dog, also barks any of the 3 puppies that try to sneak away.
The puppies sleep quietly under the lamp that is open 24 hours a day.
Do you have any suggestions about the names of the 3 puppies? We plan to name them with chocolate brands.

@paigea but then my big brother who 'owns' Macy, the mother, thought of naming one female as DARNA, a female superhero of our country. Darna is the Supergirl of Philippine folklore.

you can have puppies as pets my dear, but knowing you are always busy with your work, maybe you cannot attend to them.

yes but then, the names are so generic. maybe when we call them, many dogs will come to us because they have the same names as our dogs too.
