Pet's name: Layl & Uri

This one is indeed mine! c: Meet Layl (Lynx) and Uri (Bird).

Layl's name means "Night". They are a mix between an Iberian and Eurasian Lynx.They're quite shy and enjoyed a life of solitude before they made friends with Uri.

Uri's name means "my flame, my light". He is a serin.


I had such a nice time participating this year. Thanks everyone for playing along and guessing!! <3

Meveh this is so sweet! I took pictures of lynxes at the zoo recently, and your inspiration is so unique. There's so many species that I often forget each species has sub species, and different breeds, and you taught me about two types of lynxes I hadn't known about before!

Did you guys notice the one staff pup still growing at 35 days? I’m super curious as to what they will look like

And new crazy theory while we wait for the next pup to grow. The final pup under the blanket won't grow till October 31st and is in fact... Nick's pup and Bernouli has been messing with us the whole time

really want to solve the elusive mystery that is wolfbane pup...

• Hint #1: "All of my pups seem so sleepy! Perhaps that's a theme.... (invis text) it's not, or is it?"
• Hint #2: Dressed up staff pup was found with a dragon tail.
• Hint #3: Answered Question with transparent text: As for designing my UR: Food-based: Wouldn't a cute little takeout box be the sweetest thing? General pet: I'd love to design a fancy plant-related animal of some sort! or an eastern dragon, wink wink
• Hint #4: Dressed up staff pup updated with the lynx growth, still has dragon tail and mane. Says: "I'm not sleepy!"
• Hint #5: What would your pups zodiac sign be? Probably a Capricorn, or Capricorn-Aquarius cusp!
• Hint #6: Does your pup have anything in common with fruit, vegetable or mineral? Not particularly, no!
• Hint #7: Does your pup have a sordid past with others or is he/she fairly easy to get along with? - I would like to say they're an amicable pup to get along with, if perhaps a bit shy.
• Hint #8: If your pup could be considered "human", what job would it have, if any? - Something that involves doing a lot of tasks quickly and well, perhaps something akin to an accountant
• Hint #9: what does your pup smell like/of? Incense!

I can't remember seeing a denial anywhere for this particular pup so wolfbane by any chance is this your pup?



Revisiting the earlier theory that when the pup woke could equally be applied to the angelic pups or the ungrown one:

1) So Wolfbanes' pup hadn't grown on the first day which is consistent with all four of those pups being susbsequently claimed.
2) the tail dress-up seemed to be pointing to the lynx pup, but I felt it was pointing to the fact that a pup was still not grown. As this one also has a tail that could be considered a little bit like that of an eastern dragon similar to the dress up features.
3) it has an angelic appearance which wolfbane could have been alluding to with the sweet little hint
4) I had a feeling when the second and fourth hints were actually noted that it could provide a more concrete clue as to which day Wolfbane's pup actually grew, so either it still hasn't grown from the blanket or its one of the 'teen' pups. Lynx pup grew on day five, and both angelic pups grew on day seven again date not recorded so can't be fully certain but it could certainly allude to the fact that the cupid was still under the blanket at that point
5) Capricorn is traditionally depicted as a sea-goat, (and Aquarius is the 'water bearer' sign) so this could certainly fit the clue if the pup develops a more aquatic looking adult form.
6) animal-like features so another checkbox filled
7) as per #3
8) tricky to apply directly. Could still refer to the Capricorn personality as pointed out by Catmother. Taken more literally we'd apply the term angel to a hardworking person who works for the benefit of others. May be a bit of a stretch if there's something we've missed.
9) I'm thinking maybe this refers to slightly more religious contexts with the little incense burners that the choir boys seem to use, or scented candles, or maybe burning joss sticks and other devotional offerings in shrines.

p.s Takura that's so cute!
