Half of one of the hints has been applied correctly so far but on the wrong pup.
Grapevine could relate to the dog with the vine, or it could relate to grapes and from there to the color of wine or purple. Which might refer to the red pups or the pups with purple eyes.
Is there a link to Birchii's post?
And that song that people think #2 is, it's actually titled Bling and references fire and gold. But when I just search for Confessions of a King I get a band from Kent, England.
Yes, Virginia was written/published on September 21, 1897. Which is nearly 120 years ago this month. Maybe it's a date relation?
I can't even fathom what the last clue means.
