No, I don't think so. It looks more like a black sesame plant.

Found the word "Blackberry" in Desmond's signature. A clue? Their pup's favorite food? The color of the dog? A name? Maybe the pup like older phones?

it's sesame. what it means, i have no idea. the dress-up seemed to have brushes and wood products in it, maybe it does reference a farmer? in which case i would guess the plaid pup, but idk.

I think maybe meveh may be talking about a Shiba dog. Shiba means “brushwood” in Japanese, a name given to this breed for possibly 2 reasons - it is known for its hunting prowess in these brushwood bushes, and also, as the brushwood turns a lover red in the fall, the breed’s accepted colors are red and red sesame, the dog could have been named for the shrub’s color. Shiba ties into the dressup - brushwood - as well as the photo of a sesame plant.

Is it just me or does this pup remind you of pizza?

Great, now I'm hungry.

But please don't eat the pupper! D:

The crab pup already has a tummyache, lets not cause this lil guy trouble. (LOL) :lol:

Aww, nobody's found my little puzzle yet. Have I hidden it too well this time? :O

Huh. 6679063. Maybe?[/size]

Took a new direction from this hint -- East - East - Northwest - Northeast -Straight on ? - East - Southeast
wondering if it was the little maze pup (shift the block puzzle?) - (why is there a tiny smudge on this pup... is something hiding there)

Went off on a little tangent,

First star from the east and straight on till morning
East by Northwest - Untold Brewing; North By Northwest Zombie Dragon (beer)
The East Northeast International Film Festival (ENE)
East by Northeast (ballet performance)
and a 1959 film North by Northwest

That was an interesting jaunt but somehow I'm not sure it relates

Ahi Tipua is my pupper's name but despite the name, his design concept didn't really have a whole lot to do with a volcano itself. Those hints were to help you get to the name. But, as he is from an island country, he loves the sea/nature, and islands are generally born from volcanic activity (or, earthquakes/geological things). The markings though, you're a bit off on. Guess you're going to have to wait and see what happens when he grows up.

(I think some of my idea was mentioned before, but with a different translation?)

I just wanted to add that I live in New Zealand, an island country that not only sits on a tectonic plate (which means we get a lot of earthquakes) but also sits on the Ring of Fire (a ring of volcanoes in the Pacific), and as soon as I read "ahi tipua" I thought it sounded like a Maori phrase (Maori is one of our national languages).

An exerpt from a book called Maori Religion and Mythology Part 2 states that "... Lightning is alluded to as a form of fire and is called ahi tipua..." implying that it may not reference "demon fire" but that we might instead get to see some cool lightning designs from tarkeli's pup! I'm excited to see the outcome regardless~
