On this day I'd like to share a story
@dogbomb1
shared w/me during our interview for the
@DogpatchPress
feature I wrote about his ALS battle last year:
This is who Dogbomb was in a nutshell, and why he will be so universally missed. Truly a ♥️ of gold!
Today Dogbomb would have turned 56 years old. His birthday always fell on or near Rainfurrest - for his big 50th in 2013 I organized a post-con fursuit bowling party so he could celebrate with friends and provide cherished memories.
Gone but never forgotten. Happy Birthday DB ♥️
Final 🐯 Jeopardy Update:
@bucktowntiger

Gonna go offline for some time... my grandma (who helped raise me) is about to pass away from cancer. Family is 💔. Went to say our goodbyes & she is incredibly at peace. Her last words:
"I had a good, long life. I love my family. Don't cry for me, I'm going to be with God." 😭

This is the best example I’ve seen showing how bad the air quality is in Seattle right now due to the surrounding wildfires.

I DID IT! I averaged 218.5 today and earned my first check as a Professional Bowlers Association member. All that hard work is paying off as I continue my best year of tournament bowling of my life. Thanks so much for the support everyone. This day means so much to me ❤️
What a day at the zoo with
@FurlifeNW
! We had 40+ fursuiters and nearly 90 attendees in total.
Staff/volunteers loved us and we gave so many smiles to kids & other zoo guests today ❤️
We’ve been trying to fursuit here since 2009, so this day was 13 yrs in the making. WE DID IT!
If I can help change just ONE person's mind about this amazing fandom, it makes all of the hard work worthwhile. Let's keep making a pawsitive difference in the world! ❤️❤️❤️

My friend from bowling league contracted COVID, lost 15 pounds in 6 days & is so weak he can’t think or move muscles.
He’s only 26, active/healthy, no underlying conditions, now suffering the worst illness of his life.
This is VERY serious & VERY real
