One thing Bern's pups always has is a giant beautifully edited tail. Maybe it will be more apparent when the pup grows up >.>

I would just like to thank all the artists who participated this year and previous years staff litters. Sometimes when I have nothing to look forward to in real life I get a little flame of excitement to check the outcomes at rollover time. They're like a little event of their own between the summer event and halloween.

I'm really excited to watch the rest of these youngsters grow, and the ones which have already grown are darling. Thanks for everything you all do, your creations are appreciated.

I didn't participate this year, but I've been following the journey this whole time. I look forward to this time of year, because I get to see all the artists show off their talents, and ability to work with a fixed palette. I'm not certain which is my favorite, because I always have trouble picking one out of the 20+ beautifully unique staff pets.

I'm super happy to see some new faces this year, and I hope that next year will be even more chaotic haha. You all have done such a wonderful job, and I really love this event [because yes, I consider this an event each year. staff and the community coming together to create and solve a mystery of who-did-which-pet] <3

I know that not all of the staff pets have grown, and we still have some mysteries to solve, but from what I've seen already, this is in the top 3 for my favorite staff litters c:

Agreed I love the floofy tail...on another note totally think this one is Solloby’s based on a lot of previous ones they’ve done...it looks eerily similar to the one Solloby did back in 2012

Ahh, your right! Back in November 2012. It look extremely similar!

Here is why I believe that this pup is Bernouli's:

1) Bernouli's first hint about "exuding positive wispy energy" may seem like it doesn't fit. However, I thought about it this a lot and considered the connotations of wisps. Wisps, energy, what on this pup relates to energy? Crystals? Crystals! Crystals are used by many for their "healing properties" and their ability to cleanse and create a positive space. I believe that the crystals on this pup are clear quartz, based on their structure and shape, and being known for warding off negative energy.

2) The fox gif and picture. Notice the skull of the pup. Here is a gray fox skull for comparison: they seem pretty similar, right?

3) As whimsyy pointed out on page 132 about the Cool Hand Luke quote

I typed the Cool Hand Luke quote into google and ended up finding this as well:
"Dragline : That's my darling Luke. He grins like a baby but bites like a gator."

whimsyy, your post made me really consider the skull as a clue and I thank you for posting about the Cool Hand Luke quote, I didn't even consider it as a hint.
This pup, with all it's teeth out, sure seems like it's grinning. Also, fox teeth and alligator teeth are sharp and both gators and foxes are predators. But what do foxes eat? Foxes are known to eat bird eggs. Seems fitting that it would eat 50 eggs and enjoy it, right?

4) Bernouli responding to someone with a Beetlejuice gif. Beetlejuice is a trickster, a jokester. Foxes in folklore are often the tricksters.

5) Most of Bernouli's past staff pets don't have much of a tail until the final stage (last year being the exception). This pup doesn't really have a tail, and what it does, lines up with what will likely be a giant, wispy, Bernouli-esque tail.

6)

These are the ones I'm most excited to see grow up

:3

Four of these have been claimed already, eliminating the entire middle column and the last dog on the first row. That leaves four dogs in this picture that Bernouli could ":3" in reference to. Based on past years, the growing pup likely doesn't have a tail (or much of one), but it likely has line edits. That leaves us with the lynx looking one and this one. When you compare these two with the evidence, it points to this pup belonging to Bernouli.

So, Bernouli, I ask you "Is this your pup?"

Loving all the theories that have been posted recently! It's so great seeing all you guys tie yourselves in knots to figure out the cluesspeaking of which...
I always end up learning about such random topics too in the midst of all your crazy research.
