First off, just a reminder that I have a cubby Halloween YCH still open. It will be open until Halloween. It's only $20 for flat color, full background, any species, and gender!!!!
Okay, now that I got that out of the way....
October has marked some changes in Casa Del Ott y Wuff.
We got a kitty! I posted up a couple of pics of her so far on here and Twitter, but I am sure that there will be many more coming. She is so so wonderful, so loving. All black with a white star on her chest and big white blotch on her belly. We think she is about two. She's pretty vocal, likes to meow, and she is a LOUD purr machine! OMG get that motor running.
But.. Paul noticed this morning that she might have worms, so I am waiting to hear back from the shelter we got her at to get some meds, I hope. If she does, I don't think its bad, but it still worries me a lot.
In other news, I have been a slacker otter. I have about half of my gallery sorted, but I have neglected finishing it cause it is such a daunting task.. I have a A LOT of art here. But at least it will make all future submissions really easy to post already sorted so I wont have to do it again.
Also, I have been slack with keeping up with the art that I owe at the bottom of each journal. As you can see that is now fixed. I update it every month with new monthly art, as well as periodically when I get new commissions or finish what I have on my plate. I only have 2 current items on my plate, plus one optional contest I may enter and another swap that hasn't sent out assignments yet. So I am pretty light on art.
Of course I would love for that to change. I would LOVE to have a longer list than that.
To that end, I am still OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS! If you aren't interested in my Halloween YCH, I can do something else for you, Just take a look at my commission sheet and let me draw something for you!!!!

In friends and visitors move. I recently had an old friend form my past move about 20 minutes away, so I am hoping that we will get some hang out and some cub time soon, as soon as he gets settled here and everything. Apparently they have a nursery with a crib so I am interested in seeing that.
I had another friend visit at the end of September. I really should make a separate journal about that as we had a fund week of travel and puppy stuff.
And My buddy Lazer and his GF will be visiting just in time for Halloween, so we plan on doing cubby stuff and prolly giving out Halloween candy in fursuit. I actually did it last year and got some positive feedback. :)
And for my B-day I got a voucher to go see the otters at the Georgia Aquarium and do the Otter Encounter! I hope I get to do it soon, Ive been so busy that I haven't been able to get down there! I wanna see the otts!
Work has been.. interesting.. and by that I mean stressful. We just moved over to a new system so I am still trying to figure out how to do my job and not getting a lot of help in figuring it out and it is causing me some stress. But I know it will smooth out eventually.
And on a last note.. .. my annual pull my hair out and try my best to herd cats (AKA planning for the 2016) Disney trip has started. Last year was really bad because we had someone drop out (it was a family issue. there was nothing they could so about it) but it left us kinda scrambling price wise, and Disney didn't release their sale prices until late so we had less time to pay it off.
Well so far this year it has been strangely better (though still some high stress moments). We seem to have our lineup set already (Me, Paul, Ocicat, SteelClaw Fox, Brejar, and Bedtime Bear). We also have the dates set (Fri Jan 22- Fri Jan 29). AMAZINGLY, we have all- rather quickly- decided that we will go back to the Pop Century again, I think this is the third year in a row now. And even MORE AMAZINGLY, Disney is on the ball, and they have already come out with Play, Stay, and Dine prices (which is park tickets, Disney accommodations- for us the Pop Century, and 1 sit down meal, 1 snack, and 1 table service per day per person).
Trust me, if you go to Disney, USE THIS.. you will pay SO MUCH MORE for food if you pay out of pocket. I did the math.
And a bonus for the Disney trip, I will get to hang with some locals and semi locals including my daddy- Tigeris, Goliath, Kameron and possibly others, I am not sure yet.
And a double bonus, Haku Pamfer just happens to be going down there THAT SAME WEEK with his family, so we may get to hang with him some in the evenings at least, which is cool. I haven't seen him since FWA a few years ago.
So yeah, Disney is looking good right now. I am NOT liking the price, Disney keeps upping it, but dammit, PandaCon is a yearly tradition we have been doing for many years, so right now I just can't not go. *sigh*
So I guess that is about it for the state of the ott.. Thanks if you actually read this far.
Stay awesome! *wiggles into the sunset*

And I was hoping 2016 to make it to the Disney event but my attempt (failed) to sell the house changed plans with that. Will see what happens.
