Dawn & Dash recently visited the Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park to explore all the wonderful things that they have to offer. One unique feature of Battelle Darby Creek is that they have Bison that roam the grounds!

Today's #FursuitFriday is #TalkLikeAPirateDay.

Most people think that a pirate's favorite letter is the "Arrr" but it's actually the "Sea." We hope to "C" you tomorrow at the Ohio Renaissance Festival.

Our reply is a bit late (oops), but our next one will be on October 4! We'll also be having our annual picnic at Blacklick Woods Metro Park on Saturday, September 13.

It takes many volunteers to make conventions run smoothly, including fennecs who just like to push all the pretty little buttons.
