Oooh, nice catch, guys! Considering that Kali and Shiva are connected (Basically, from what I understand, Kali, being destruction represents that aspect of Shiva....I don't think Ethulai's pup will be hard to spot. With the Indian Influence and especially with it being destruction, I highly suspect the Tiger is Ethulai's. (Reasons; Habit for Tigers are being destroyed, they have had a place in Indian mythology for a long time...)

I wonder if we've actually found all of the lost items? Especially those belonging to Ethulai's pup. That sure could help a lot.

If 5 of mine haven't been found, then you haven't found all of mine.

Pande what a lovely poem there is never enough coffee.

For this wonderful piece of originality I will reveal that...

खाली

"Khali"

[void, devoid]

...is my pup's name but why will not be revealed until I write his story when he matures.

I will agree with that~ *sips hot coffee*

Thank you for giving us your pets name! <3

Khali (Kali)the Hindu Goddess who is the Consort of Shiva, who might be what your scrambled letters in your signature is about~ That Kali perhaps?

She is often regarded as the Shakti of Shiva, and is closely associated with him in various Puranas.

Kali is the dance of time as the endless creation and dissolution of the universe supported by Shiva who is absolutely pure formless awareness.

So how does this connect to the Pet items?

-Dances on Shiva whose eyes are closed/Half closed

I've been so lucky with the staff pets so far! Only missed 2 outcomes =D
This totally makes up for all the pets I missed in august. Now I just hope my luck lasts, 8 newborn pups left with 7 outcomes to go *crosses fingers*

According to the Hint Chart, we are missing two of Verdana's then. This is what is listed.
