Alright, so I am just going to go off a limb here and try my luck. It's just my own observations and thoughts, so I am totally not expecting to be correct, or even on the right track. This is my first year even trying to figure any of this out so bear with me and my rookie self ^^
Okay, so I have been trying to delve in to Lillian's hints a bit more, just a bit deeper than the surface. And I know this is risky territory because I completely overthink things. While reading the hints I became interested in the hint : "So tired". So I decided to look through some of her recent posts to find the actual post where she gave this hint, and saw that the word "tired" was in italics. This led me to question one of her earlier posts about us overlooking a hint that is really important...
So here is where I totally screw up lol
When I think of tired, I too immediately think of being sleepy. But after some thought, I know it's deeper than physical exhaustion. I checked some other definitions for the word and this one stood out to me:
When I first saw this pup, I did get an autumn vibe from it, but fall can also be symbolic of change (Good or bad) and in some cases the end of life. Leaves from deciduous trees die and fall to the ground to decompose into the earth. You can say these leaves are tired: no longer fresh or in good condition.
Checking other posts by Lillian, I stumbled upon her answer to a question posed by a user on the "Ask the Staff Thread", which she included some of the things that are going on in her life. I can see these leaves symbolizing the weariness and sadness she may be feeling because of these events, where everything may seem to be falling apart.
From that post I quote (This is about her staff pet for this year):
There is a small line of what seems to be maybe along of lines of subtle glowing orbs, which I myself can see it being that "sliver of hope". But this is all just a harmless idea c:
It doesn't seem to look like her art style, however she said she tried to be a bit more subtle this year..
It doesn't have a curly tail.
But, what is probably the end all of this harmless theory is that she did make the remark that her design this year is more natural, and to not expect any stars and such on it.
Again, this was my first take on it all, I am 100% sure I am completely off xD

and also:
Old English tēorian ‘fail, come to an end,’ also ‘become physically exhausted,’ of unknown origin.
