Scrappy Doo

General
Once upon a time...
Though much maligned, I actually like him. Though he is a bit bratty and foolhardy at first, he eventually learns caution and effectively starts filling in the Fred and Velma roles (both with his trap-making and his research/computer skills).
I also ended up wondering what happened to his mom.
We see her in the series exactly twice. First was as an adult in "Scrappy's Birthday" (in the second series of "Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo" which aired December 20, 1980). Second we see her as a child in "Curse of the Collar" ("A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" which aired September 9, 1989). She looks very different, so I wonder if it's because they wanted to separate her from her adult self (making her more like Daphne), or if something was wrong with her as an adult that caused her fur to fade and head fur to fall out (possibly cancer she later died from).
The latter is actually pretty grim for Scooby Doo, but it would explain a lot about why Scrappy is always with his Uncle Scooby and Shaggy. The two likely adopted the pup after his mother died.
If it's the former, that still leaves her fate unknown. If she's alive, she's obviously not in Scrappy's life much since he's always with either Scooby and Shaggy or Yabba and Dusty. Does he even keep contact with her? Did she give guardianship to Scooby and Shaggy? How does the thing with Yabba and Dusty work anyway? Is it some other continuity? I don't remember him mentioning Scooby around Yabba.
Yes, I know, this is much too much mental work for a goofy show, but I do want to see Scrappy return someday as a hero.

And for his mother, no I agree
As for the fate of Scrappy, you already know how I solved that one!

Sometimes, you just have to do it yourself!
Indeed! I think you did a wonderful job of it too!
Yep! All it takes is a little Can Doo.
I wouldn't have minded Flimflam having a different name (really, who names their kid Flimflam?) and didn't mind his new appearance, but leaving out Scrappy felt forced and, like you said, ignored one of the main characters of the series! (I also wanted to see Boggle and Weird.)
