Just over a year ago, I brought you news of Dublin’s love children with that feisty red-head Mara: the “other woman.” In her bid to compete for the affections of the Astraean men, Mara couldn’t let Celeste hog all the lime light of celebrity so she and one of her sons with Dublin appear in a National TV ad for the Wubba toy by Kong.
Keep your eyes peeled at 14 seconds where Mara and Kurt can be seen running through a mountain meadow toward the camera, jockeying for possession of the Wubba:

Cryptic Merle Lilac Tri, I believe is Mara’s official coloring. Her nose is red, and she has a few small spots of lilac coloring. Mara’s father Chip is a blue merle tri, and I don’t recall offhand what her mother is.
