Blueberry

(First puppy death, the pox got him 😭)

Blueberry is laid flat out on his back, feet in the air and paws twitching. He is sound asleep.

Blueberry got a little too cocky while trying to play around with one of the Garden of the Gods' scouts, Viridian. After boasting that he would be the victor of a tussle between the two, Blueberry quickly got put into his place. Viridian looks sheepish for causing harm to the pup. Clearly, he's not pupsitter material.

Viper the traveling wolf is assigned to watch Blueberry as his pupsitter, taking over from Lapis. The two lazy wolves hit it off almost immediately, with Blueberry even clumsily going through the effort of making Viper a blueberry necklace so he could be a blueberry too, something the older wolf wears with pride. Viper and his charge have become a common sight to see snoozing in patches of sunlight, cuddling adorably together.

Blueberry tells his god to go to his favourite spot as there is something prepared for him. When Aleph asks why he didn't bring it here, the puppy shrugs, answering that it was too much work.

Siroc has ushered in the spring, but instead of heralding new life, it brought forth death. Blueberry has contracted the pox, dooming him to die. After receiving his diagnosis Blueberry is passed around from wolf to wolf, being cuddled and fed treats and basically pampered for his last day of life, before being handed back to Viper, who insisted on sleeping with the puppy he had cared for one last time.

Blueberry has passed away in his sleep, cuddled in Viper's embrace. Nox had come to take him home, breaking the hearts of his pack.
