This picture I took of @newlyn.bsky.social is going to be nine years old in a number of months and I still remember when I took the picture of him and what lead up to it. It's a bit nostalgic I think. ^_^ Picture taken by me during Rocky Mountain Fur Con 2016

During Midwest FurFest in nine months I need to fous on being more positive. What I mean by that is two times during MFF 25 I became depressed two times and if I'm right it got @rain.horse and @ashierapony.horsefurs.com concerned. But I don't do anything stupid whenever I get depressed.

These are the pictures and the fursuit Snap or Thor was wearing. Snap could have picked a different person to take the pictures but again he picked me. Pictures taken by me from Rocky Mountain Fur Con 2016.

He requested that I take pictures of one of the fursuits he and Thor brought. I was definitely tempted to say I’m not the only photographer at the con like I told @ashcoyote.bsky.social the same year during the con I’m sure he wouldn’t have taken no for an answer.

My first time seeing Snap was during Rocky Mountain Fur Con 2016 he asked me before I went if I was going to the con and I told him yes. Some how he knew how to find me. I wasn’t wearing a tail as far as I know. I wasn’t even wearing a jersey. That was before I knew what he looked like….

Just found out through Animal also known as Sinister that Snap of @bycats4cats.bsky.social died. This makes five friends I have in the Furry Community that has died. Snap will never be forgotten.

@kuhori.bsky.social I hope you will have a very good birthday. ^_^

@marvoltiger.bsky.social I hope you will have a very good birthday. ^_^

@nunavuttuktu.bsky.social I hope you will have a very good birthday. ^_^

I should mention whenever a fursuiter lets me pet it I never pet against the fur and I'm gentle whenever I do it. I'm also gentle when fursuiters let me give them head pats.

Currently the only fursuiters who let me pet them is @ashierapony.horsefurs.com , @rain.horse , Alex Horse , @fuzzyhubcap.bsky.social and Wynston T Wolf and I think @marvoltiger.bsky.social. If more fursuiters let me pet them I will include them next time I post the list.

@dashingfoxie.bsky.social I hope you will have a very good birthday. ^_^

@dulsheliung.bsky.social This is from Rocky Mountain Fur Con 2016. The two foxes didn't put the net on me. But they definitely give me a hard time almost every time they see me. Only because the one in the middle has known me since sometime in late 2008.

I just found out both @fuegofirebirds.bsky.social and @buoy.seattlekraken.com are on BlueSky. 😊

My first time seeing @buoy.seattlekraken.com was October 2023. At the time I was nervous to ask Bouy if I can get a picture with him. Next time I won’t be nervous when I see him again. 😊 Pictures taken by me. 😊

If @rain.horse is able to attend Midwest FurFest this year it looks like she and I will be going to the Bimbo meet together. And it’s no question she will be getting the same amount of attention from me that she got last year.

According to one of my friends in my Native home state I will be staying at his mom’s place in Alki again. This time it will be seven days and 6 nights during one of the weeks in July. So it will be back to doing whale and dolphin spotting from the beach with mainly my Sigma 150-600 lens.

@kijani.bsky.social I hope you will have a very good birthday. ^_^

@nitroshep.bsky.social In addition to hugs and pictures would you like pets and or head pats when I see you again? I'm gentle when I give head pats and I never pet against the fur.

I'm not apart of the Bimbo / Himbo community. But Even though I was nervous about attending the Bimbo event at MFF 25 I did in fact enjoy myself when I went for the first time with @rain.horse and @ashierapony.horsefurs.com for my first time I will admit that.

With ten months left until Midwest FurFest I'm already thinking about attending the Bimbo event again for a second time. I'm willing to attend the event with @dulsheliung.bsky.social If he can make it again. It probably won't as much fun if I go without attending it with someone I haven't met yet.

If I was still living in my Native home state I would still consider getting a new fursuit. But if I do get a horse then more than likely I will only be able to attend one furry convention per year and it would be worth it.

Instead of saving up for a fursuit that I would only be able to wear at two furry conventions I’m instead looking at saving up for a horse or new camera gear instead.

My guess as to why @frozenfoxx.cultoffoxx.net likes to use me as a snack is probably because he might have seen this picture from RainFurrest 2013 when @kakinokitsune.bsky.social came over and ended up eating my fingers. Picture taken by me. 😊

If I was still living in my Native home state I would have more fun things to do.

So far the only two good things that has happened this year is I got a slight raise in work pay and the second is the Seahawks won the SuperBowl.

I’m thinking about doing aviation photography this year. The only problem is most of the time the airspace is quiet.

During Midwest FurFest 2025 @rain.horse made it very clear that she has complete control over me and knows how to keep me in line and reminded me a number of times of knowing what she will do to me or use on me if I try to not just sneak away from her sight and or step out of line.

Because of the second Superbowl win my Seahawks flag will be on display from my bedroom window until opening day for the Mariners. 😊

My Seahawks and Mariners Flag arrived Wednesday, February 11, 2026 I should have gotten myself a Seahawks and Mariners flag sometime before I moved to central Illinois. But I wasn't thinking.

@kingofyellow.bsky.social When I see you in person you will get hugs and pictures. 😊 But I will ask first before taking pictures and giving you hugs. 😊

I just found out both my Seahawks and Mariners flags are arriving today. I should have ordered them before I moved to central Illinois seven years and three months ago.

@solarbear954.bsky.social I miss you. ☹️ But I still have hugs for you and pictures to take of you. 😊

Last night I had a dream about being able to finally see @calafin.bsky.social and Naketa Orca in person. But it was their real fursona not the fursuit

To be perfectly clear I have been a Seahawks and Mariners fan long before I moved from my Native home state and that will never change. Even though I understand hockey more than Football and Baseball.

Last night when the Seahawks won I became emotional. Because of how much that win meant not only to me and the loyal fans regardless on if they win or not but also to the city of Seattle. 😊

It was definitely an experience I will never forget and hopefully someday soon I will be able to get a picture with Blitz soon. 😊

I haven’t posted this before. But during my graduation night from high school in 2005 my graduation class was able to spend part of the night at the Seahawks stadium. What would have made the experience more awesome is if Blitz made an appearance.

@berkwolf.bsky.social I hope you will have a very good birthday. ^_^

@frosteefox.bsky.social I hope you will have a very good birthday. ^_^

If I wasn’t wanted and or need by any of the furries I would leave the Furry community / fandom then own a horse or move to one of the islands in the San Juan Islands. I became depressed at work today because only being able to see and be with furries only two months out of the year is hard on me.

If I could live anywhere in Western Washington state I would pick somewhere on Friday Harbor. Or any of the other islands in the San Juan Islands. I would spend most of the time at the beach doing Whale and Dolphin spotting. I would still spend time with furries. ^_^

@newlyn.bsky.social I hope you will have a very good birthday. ^_^

If anxiety didn't cause me to almost drown twice in a pool many years before my mom died I would still swim even in the Salish Sea with a wetsuit on every chance I got. Then I wouldn't have given myself the title of Land Orca in the first place.

I have had the title of Land Orca since 2008 it's something I have bestowed upon myself. I have told the Orcas from my Native home state about that and they have no problem with it and they told me they understand why I did it. One of them added it would have been better if I asked them first.

@aussiefluffbutt.bsky.social I saw you during Midwest FurFest 2025 and forgot to ask to take pictures of you.

The two months this year I plan to visit my Native home state is sometime during the summer for possible whale and or dolphin spotting from the beach. And again in October for a second home Kraken game.

One of the reasons why I'm hopping to go on an Orca spotting treip is because it's been seven years since I have done that. Even if I see Orcas while at the beach I will accept that. It's a fact the Orcas of J, K, L, pods and the biggs Orca haven't forgotten about me.

It turns out the possible camping trip on Orcas Island won't be happening during my visit to my Native Home state sometime during the summer. So instead if the camping trip still happens I hope it happens at Anacortes or Whidbey Island. I'm hoping to go on an Orca spotting trip.

I watched all three High School Musical movies on Disney+ this month and every time I watch those movies it some how brings me back to my High School years and it makes me wonder how I could have made my Junior and Senior years better then how it came out. I know it would have came out better.
