Whew...just back from another trip to Canada to visit the pups and pick up my completed fursuit. I had a wonderful time seeing my boys again.

Quick recap is that I got the opportunity to spend some decent quality time with the Dobie puppy on Thursday and Friday. Poor little Robomuzz got sick...yeah...sick...on Friday and watched me work from "home." I just didn't happen to tell work I was working from home in a different country : ) It was actually fun taking conference calls with a cutie doberman on the couch next to me and a sexah folf playing WoW in the other room. : D

After getting the work stuff out of the way, I got the opportunity to hang with  Nighthawk,  Inari,  Jamesbluewolf,  Mune, and  GreySnowCat who had all descended on the place to help do some work on the house. We had a great night just hanging out, chatting and getting caught up with each other and I had a lot of laughs. I love hanging out with cool furs.

Saturday was a day of toil essentially putting the subfloor down on the loft space and getting a staircase installed. Everyone put a lot of hard work in and by the end of the day, there were stairs, an awesome loft, and the bed, futon and TV were all in place.  Arinmal is an amazing worker. What took Dobie, Grey and I about 5 hours to do, he did twice as much in 3 hours. Plus he looks cute using power tools. : D Seriously, everyone busted their hump to get the place further toward completion and earned their fun on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

In between working and screaming "fuckin' a fooooot" at each other and giggling like schoolgirls,  Mune was tied to the desk (sometimes literally : ) and was forced to work on artz. I caught a glimpse of the commission he was working on and it is incredible. I won't let the proverbial cat out of the bag before it is completed, but needless to say it is a *very* special piece of art.

Saturday night I went with Dobie and  JamesBlueWolf to  FirestormSix's place and picked up my fursuit and did a quick photoshoot. I'm no ashamed to admit that I very nearly cried when I saw Bash's head in person. This is such a huge step for me personally in terms of making things that at one point in my life were only fantasy now becoming reality through a hell of a lot of hard work (as well as a ton of support from my fellow furs). While picking up the suit, I had the good fortune to see  Howiepup,  Deoge, and  Redwolf78. Was great to see you sweeties.

Saturday night everyone was tired from a hard day's work and the evening was spent chilling and video games. That night I got to sleep with my mates on the custom bed that the folf put together. Had a wonderful time to say the least. Love you pups. : )

Sunday we had the best of intentions of getting a lot of work done but ended up finishing the railings for the loft and staircase and spent the larger portion of the day relaxing and enjoying each other's company. I somehow managed to get a 2 x 4 dropped on my head thereby sealing my commitment to the house with blood. Now that she's tasted it, I'm sure the house thirsts for more : )

Sunday night and Monday were spent with my mates and I had a great time just being with them. Lots of laughs and a lot of fun just hanging around the homestead.

Monday night was the dreaded departure and I dealt with it in the time honored tradition my forefathers from Ireland have passed down from generation to generation to me...I began drinking at something silly like 10:30AM. Needless to say, having to say goodbye to  Arinmal and  Robowolf is the hardest thing I have had to do. I hate leaving them and look forward to a time when I no longer have to.

Thank you all for another wonderful time and I look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

Be good my pups...I'll see you at Fur Fright.
