Fursuiters don't you hate it when you find a couple pins in your head

Me making a face with two enormous straight pins coming out of my head.

Thank you <3 we'll do some sort of celebration when I get back, at PAWCon or around there!

There are two things you aren't guaranteed in this world.

One is closure.

A few more! In particular please help me figure out who those three are from the mailbox on Bar Harbor, ME!

A few furry stickers in Bar Harbor, ME. Help us figure out who they are!

A very nice tiramisu that our cabin's butler brought, that Latte arranged for!

Here at the Furry Cruise celebrating my 38th trip around the sun! Having a pretty great birthday alongside this dumb dog and cute fox (bunny). #furrycruise

Boulder the Australian Shepherd (fursuit) and Madeleine the Hare (fursuit) pose in front of our cruise living room (!) at the Furry Cruise 2025.

The sunset over Sydney, N.S., if I remember right!

A gaggle of furries pose on the stairs of the cruise ship!

Me (human!) and Latte (human!) pose in front of the Charlottetown, P.E.I. sign. The port managers in Charlottetown were incredibly game and welcomed us off the boat in fursuit, but that's a picture for another day :)

That wolf is very tempting if you think I would fit!

I've always wondered about this. I'd bet it gives you 2 min 39 seconds (159 seconds).

Dax @wolfwithdances.bsky.social · 5d

Both, definitely!

Dax @wolfwithdances.bsky.social · 5d

Congratulations you two!

Same Skunk, Different District! Just a couple weeks after finding Sweh in New York, here they are just outside the Boston Convention Center. 🦨

Here in Boston but won't be for long, Furry Cruise 2025 sets sail tomorrow. I'll have to come back sometime soon!

Happy birthday Sheriff!

It won't be the same, perhaps, and I'm glad some of FC's peer conventions still get to have theirs (go visit them too!) but I also know a ton of very capable animal-people crafting new fantastic experiences so we can evolve the con into the very best it can be. FC community, let's build it! 🐾

Dax @wolfwithdances.bsky.social · 10d

It's really tough that FC's Party Floor changed out from under us. I had a lot of great memories there.

My hat's off to our hotel volunteers who managed it, and the ones who did their best in negotiation this year. Venues change hands, policies change, constraints change. Not ideal but it happens.

Leave it to a pool toy to end up with pressure buildup 🍾

Dax @wolfwithdances.bsky.social · 17d

Exciting! Good luck!

I've stopped using them; they have a nasty habit of denting or coming unlatched, though I never had mine damage a suit. For transporting durable soft suits I generally just use a big duffel or hockey bag, and for fragile bits like horns I'd use a pelican case, rolling luggage, or rigid box in a bag.

That is a rolling ball clock (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling...) reportedly donated by the estate of Robin Williams! I believe the dial we see is the sun/moon indicator, as my friend showed me the removed face of the clock. You can just barely see the shaft under the bubble level in the center.

Those two properties date to 1917 and 1913, respectively, according to real estate site public record. Our place is in the neighborhood and its bones date to 1919.

Thanks, I think so too! Also @djarums.bsky.social will be pleased to know that the NYC subway is horse-compatible. I was thinking of you when I saw that, Pony ✨🐴✨

A yellow subway floor tile at Astor Place Station shows two horseshoes and says "please keep a safe social distance from others". To the left is a similar tile with standard human shoe prints.

It's an awfully nice night for a sunset walk around Central Park.

Central Park in New York City. The sunset casts the skyline in silhouette.
