OK, so after doing a LOT of soul searching and consideration with the suggestions I was given on my last journal (thank you all for your help! ) I have come to the decision that my new fursona (Bizzy the penguin will be my secondary 'sona) is now Akuna, the African Wild Dog/Samoyed mix! You can see the colored concept image I made for her here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16541442/ African Wild Dogs and Samoyeds are my favorite canines and the mix of the two just seems to be a perfect match for me! Here is a little about my new pup:
