Odd one out

One of these things is not like the others...



Yep, we got the DNA results back. And because I don't want to leave you in suspense any longer, I can now reveal that 80% of the litter are Tom's offspring, and 20% are Fred's.

For the less mathematically able among us, that's 4:1. Which one, you ask? Have a look and see...

So there's Squiggle, the intrepid:

Navigating the black plastic jungle:


She's small and smooth,




and full of beans.
Wrestling with her sisters


There's the Boy:


Self-elected boss of the litter, and especially all chicken carcasses:


There's Squee, she of the increasing odd right iris:




Remind you of anything?



It might just be me, but I'm getting flashbacks to the little monsters that grew up into this sort of thing... Which is kind of expected, given that they're half-siblings/aunts + cousins.

There's the Dark girl, sweetheart:






And there's Evie, alternately Evil, Evieready and Even:




Evie and her chicken carcass:


Cold chicken in the garden on a summer's day- good times!


Apart from the blowflies...


Three girls- Squee, Evie and Dark:


Other group activities this week have included Baby-mugging:


And desensitisation exercises- here Squiggle works on "small children" and "people with strange things on their head" simultaneously ("very advanced", as Kriszty's mum would say):

OMG as soon as I saw the photos of squee I thought about Diva – then seeing the collage below – yes it’s déjàvu. Squee is the new Diva/Daisy (hmmmm), Dark girl and Boy are Meg and squiggle is Dot.

Therefore from process of elimination, quantum physics and who’s yer father – my acute guess goes as such:-

As 4 of the pups are already doubles of Fred/Queenie litter and Tom being Fred’s son, also Tess and Queani being cousins or sisters (can’t remember which) then I think that all 4 mentioned must be from Tom/Tess as Fred/Queani have already had a v. Similar litter.

Furthermore, squee and dark girl have the same shape head and looks as their mummy so I’d put a bet on Tess definitely being the mum, lol.

Evie doesn’t look like a normal Fred pup. She reminds me of Samroc’s Jazz with the bone shaped white markings on her napper. Fred’s pups are usually always quirky marked. As it may be his final litter he must have decided to produce a traditional marked girl.

Finally, the last clue I can deduce is that you are giving us a hint by putting all the 4 lookalikes beside the daisy/dot/meg collage and putting evie last – or is that your way of throwing us off and making us think that they 4 must be from Tom – hmmmmmm.

In conclusion I believe that wee evie is the Fred pup and Tom is daddy to all the other 4. Tess may or may not be the mum and I should win lotto this weekend and can buy a massive property, give up work and can train and play with the dogs all day and get squee from you.

Cheers

Jules, I can accurately deduce from all the above that you're a nutter!
Nice try though.
