I don't know that might spoil to much of the story, as long as he doesn't say what specifically will change or not change I guess it would be ok. (I hate it when writers spoil things in their stories when its still on going) Plus with what we learned in Dog Days of Summer I doubt that everything will stay status quo forever because of the U&U game plus Tarots (well Dragons anyway) Prophecy that she gave Peanut and Grape has yet come to pass.

Alright, sorry if i got carried away on my last post there, but here goes:
in fairness, from my experience with comic books and cartoons, the traditional style of having kids is usually that one side of the family dominates the outcome. if both are the same breed however, it usually falls into traditional sense that they have a mix of what them two have. if both have obvious differences, there mightbe a dominant breed of one kind.
in my opinion, if somehow Grape and Peanut were to have kids, i would honestly think they would be kittens in Grape's case with her fur color and, most likely gender just because she's the older and more mature-thinking type usually. and if there was a rule that occurred in this peculiar instance, they would share the traits of their parents as well. If Peanut were to instead out-mature Grape, then it would be the opposite and therefore shared traits come from Peanut instead.
My god. two Peanuts... Grape would never sleep again.
But yeah, that boils it down for me. if we were looking for some odd combination of both, i wouldn't dare think of that and instead keep it simple. go for either the cat or dog routine and share the traits of the dominant one.
For what it's worth, in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic books a flash-forward shows the children of a male hedgehog and a female squirrel/chipmunk being a male hedgehog and a female squirrel/chipmunk. And in Pokemon children always adopt the species of the mother. Perhaps things could work similarly in this hypothetical situation.

This may be true, but Fang being a weasel-wolf and Sally being a squirrel-chipmunk seems to say that hybrids are possible in that universe. There really is some strange logic going on there.

Okay, to try and wrangle this back on topic, hopefully without getting a lock. Let's first expand it past Peanut and Grape, since there are more potential couples: Fido and Sabrina and Joey and Squeak (Great Kitsune help us all!), for example.
So here are things to consider:
To take the two existing characters that started this thread:
Name: Grape Jelly Sandwich (nee Princess Periwinkle)
Parents: Unknown
Gender: Female
Fur color: Lavender with white belly fur and muzzle
Ears: Pointed with white centers and lavendar fur exterior
Eye color: Yellow
Tail: Lavendar, long and fluffy
Other: Lavender nose
Name: Peanut Butter Sandwich
Parents: Unknown
Gender: Male
Fur color: Light brown with light tan belly fur and muzzle
Ears: Floppy with light tan centers and medium brown exterior
Eye color: Light blue
Tail: Meduim brown, medium length and fluffy
Other: Blackish nose
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential children:
Name: Apple Butter Jelly Sandwich
Parents: Peanut and Grape Sandwich
Gender: Female
Fur color: Medium brown with light tan belly fur and muzzle
Ears: Pointed with light tan centers and medium brown exterior
Eye color: Yellow
Tail: Medium brown, medium length and fluffy
Other: Blackish nose
Name: Blueberry Jelly Sandwich
Parents: Peanut and Grape Sandwich
Gender: Male
Fur color: Medium lavender with white belly fur and muzzle
Ears: Floppy with white centers and dark lavendar exterior
Eye color: Light blue
Tail: Dark lavendar, long and fluffy
Other: Dark lavender nose
Note that the colors here don't exactly match the parents. It's very likely that any hybrids would have somewhat off colors.
Thoughts?

Ok, Ive redrawn her, ive made her look more feminine, and she looks a little bit more like Peanut now. You can find it at: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/4305669
