Any more outcomes that are in blanket form? All mine have grown.

i think we're done! i counted the outcomes on the hint chart and all 28 pets are accounted for, not to mention we've already started growing some pps dogs. now we just gotta wait for the others to grow!

[Schuyler]

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

Hmm, interesting theory! Buuuuut I'm afraid you are frozen on a sheet of ice now. :P

[Sarluna]

ok. I'm doing a wild guess here for Raires design.....
I think it's this day 8 outcome:



Why?

Well going from her clues and her her other staff litter outcomes.

> The spots on the cheeks werent edited or removed and the layout pretty much stayed the same, like the last two years.
> It doesn't have that "extremely" edited details yet, which came always in the grown version. (I'm waiting for a bunny to appear!!!)

> I don't think the puppy has a pupile (just the shine), like some others, so it COULD HAVE HAD purple eyes, but now they're a milky blue.
And while it's blind, it doesn't have any problem closing and opening them.

My dog did have purple eyes. / She can open and close them just fine, they're not permanently in one stage. >:P

> Her other comment might indicate that the pup is hunted or got hurt, so that could go with the blindness.... and it doesn't smile like some other outcomes. (there is a hint of pink in the eye if you zoom really in and take a closer look)

Finding a safe place and staying alive.

> About the coloration I'm not sure if that is 50% orange or not, so her following comment would make sense. So it has to be a pup that's close the that 50-70% but not in it.
The white belly and underchin let me think of a fox white the white spots on the brow more resemble the coloration of a red panda.
Though I've seens some black dogs that just had those spots in brown or beige, so they might come from that.
Also it's nose is definitly not in one color.

>I'm a bit tentative about the spots.... they could be bruises, since it's beeing hunted, indication for more details as it grows. Like from a Suction cup arrow or something.

Hmmm I guess I cannot answer this question with a clear yes or no. / The nose is a very interesting case... my dog has both I guess. Depends which end of the nose you're looking at.

ABOUT HER CLUES:
1. In Raire's sig: "TIK TOK TIK TOK WE'RE HERE"
2. In Raire's sig: "FIRE AND ICE"
3. In Raire's sig: "WINTER IS COMING"
4. In Raire's sig: "HERE WE ARE"
5. In Raire's sig: "LET THE STARS GUIDE YOU"
6. in Raire's sig: "DON'T TURN AWAY NOW"
7. #4 and #6 are lyrics from a song called "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons.
8. In Raire's sig: "ICH BRENNE! ICH BRENNE!" (translating to: "I BURN! I BURN!")
9. "Do you know how many stars?" song.

They all can indicate to a hunt!
> The first one could be related to seasons, since in autumn the time for some animals is just used up and they have to decrease the amount in the forests.
> Clue 2 and 3 could also be indicators for autumn, since in some years we have over 30 °C and in others we already got snow. So hot and cold and the winter isn't far away anymore.
> Clue 5 and 9 could dinicate that the pet or animal it resembles in nature might be nocturnal. Since we can only really see that stars at night even thought they're still up there during the day.

She is more of a night persona, that's when she truly shines.

> Clue 8 and perhaps again 2 might be an indicator for a fire, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
> Clue 6...... to be honest.... no clue. >.>

[Raire]

(I'm waiting for a bunny to appear!!!)

The question is... how many will appear... hahaha >:3c

> I don't think the puppy has a pupile (just the shine), like some others, so it COULD HAVE HAD purple eyes, but now they're a milky blue.
And while it's blind, it doesn't have any problem closing and opening them.

:D
Will neither confirm nor deny that exact theory for now, but hooray, you caught onto the past tense I used.

> Her other comment might indicate that the pup is hunted or got hurt, so that could go with the blindness.... and it doesn't smile like some other outcomes. (there is a hint of pink in the eye if you zoom really in and take a closer look)

:3c
Yeah, quite good!

All in all your post made me really happy, you're definitely close, but it is the wrong pupper!

> The first one could be related to seasons, since in autumn the time for some animals is just used up and they have to decrease the amount in the forests.

Nah for 1.
You're not too far off with 2 (and 3), but it's not quite correct.
Quite off with 5 & 9.
8 is right, it's just another hint for fire/hint #2, since it got a bit lost during the days. Fun fact: It's a quote from a Digimon episode :'D But it has nothing to do with Digimon at all, I just cannot forget that episode.
Don't forget, 4 and 6 belong together and are part of a song lyric. You're actually closer to it than you think, you have mentioned something that might explain the hints. Or the hint might explain the detail. Whatever. =/

I will, again, mention that you all should probably listen more closely to one of my hints. I said it before. Which one was it?
That one will give you a major hint to my pups appearance.
Let's face it, it might be the only one... I'm a troll monster

[lovenoted]

Is maroon the main color on your pup?

*looks at pup*
Well.
What do you define as main colour...

I can't help but wonder.


"*looks at pup*
Well.
What do you define as main colour..."
This implies Raire's pup has many colors. I'd say this pup is a nice little mess of colors!

"It's so very far from liquid that liquid is no more on this dog."
Pup design doesn't seem to have any correlation to liquid whatsoever.

"ICH BRENNE! ICH BRENNE!"
Translating to "I burn, i burn". Pup's markings look similar to burn marks.

Sadly i can't connect any more of the hints, but have a good night Raire and i hope you see this when you wake up

Reposting because i want her to see this >:c a denial is ok

[Raire]

Ohhh right, I totally saw it, but missed it when I made my earlier post. OTL
Thanks for reminding me.

It doesn't quite fit my hints though, so I will just deny here :3

#pizzapup
(Sorry :'D but. Cannot unsee.)

[Raire]

Me too! Someone called it that once and it just kinda stuck in my head. Also Happy Birthday! Maybe for your birthday celebration, you'll confirm your pup >:)

Thanks!
I would, but Sarluna is the one who figured out the most so far and it's still not quite there... so no claims will happen yet.

Maybe you want to post a guess or two? <3

[Purrycatxox]

Happy birthday Mod Raire <3

[Sarluna]

Have another guess ready.
But thought I'd let others post first for a bit, since I still have to figure out the reason for the eye coloration. xD
Besides that they might represend the sky coloration during the day circle, so might be violet to some times and other colors during other times.

[grey matter]

Do any of you guys (nonstaff) have personal nicknames for the dogs?
I've got some weirder names in there, like Garmeth and Banyu, but there's some slightly more normal stuff in there like Crime Flick, Hivemind and Edgeworth.

(all of my pet's personal nicknames are in this group but i felt awkward about putting this because i felt like it seemed a little advertisy to want to share pet names of all things.)
