Sunday Scribbles: Poobies (Patreon)

'Nother scribble. Mama Strawberry and her potato pubbies~

Some of Skye's siblings have gotten name changes and design tweaks. Her sister Star is now named Summer. Her brother Scallywag is now named Snowball. Skye's family is overrun with shepherds and collies with merle-patterned (splotchy) coats. When two dogs with merle genes (like Skye's parents) interbreed, there's a chance of them producing a pup with a double merle mutation. Double merle puppies usually have white coats, and are sometimes born partially or completely deaf and/or blind. Snowball is deaf. Strawberry and her mate were unaware of this possibility (in fact the pregnancy was not at all planned), but Strawberry nonetheless throws herself into learning how to accommodate Snowball- and all her pups. She may not be very gentle or warm, but there is little Strawberry wouldn't do for those pudgy lil potats.
