Yep, just a icon a got a while back that was done by the always amazing  sirod who did this for me last year and I still think it looks awesome so I love you all *Bug kody licks*

Oh my GOD!

Just like the title says I just found out on Thursday I believe that I had just passed 20,000 page views! I mean to me that is just crazy because again I know I have said things like this before but when I decided to start up on FA 2 years ago I really never figured I would have gone this far and to tell the truth I never would have guessed to even be active on this site as this was just sort-of a "Investment" of sorts that I was not really thinking I would get into much and boy look how far that has taken me X3

So I just really wanted to say while I wish this could have come at a better time for FA I still wanted to thank all of those who have decided to give me a watch, favorite, or just really even viewing or commenting of the art I post so really I do appreciate you all and thank you all so much for making me feel so welcome here. *Gives all a big puppy hug*

Well since I am snowed in and an mot going anywhere anytime soon I figure I will do one of these since I have not done one in a while so fire away your deepest desire about any of my characters or me!? ;3

Well I will say that so far for me this has been quite the awesome year in just very simple ways!

Such in the case that I had a snow day today and it means for not only a 5 day weekend but a 3 day school week and this means that officially I have not had a full week of school since the end of winter break due to snowstorms and weather and me being sick one of the days but still it has been great for me.

So needless to say I am one happy pup and I have been enjoying these last few days so I hope that all of you have a great rest of the day and enjoy your week!

~Kody

Hey guys, I hope you all are having a great Sunday (especially for those of you who have MLK day off tomorrow as well as treat that day as of great importance) are having a awesome one!

I know that I am having a great one now because since the Broncos are headed to the super bowl it really does make for a great game vs whoever will win the Seahawks/ 49'rs game and really for me while I am from St.louis I just have nothing for the Rams so the Broncos are my fave team for now and I am pretty dang happy to see them go!

Also I just wanted to let everyone know that as I have stated before I am NOT going to leave FA but I do agree with all of those who are not putting "All there eggs into one basket" so to speak so I more than likely will be posting all of my art that I have now and plan to get on other sites but will probably just remain most active on this site anyway, however you may see my art pop up on a few sites because I do have some accounts laying around other sites.

so that is my update for now and below is a link to my Weasyl that I created a WHILE ago but never did use but if you have an account and would like me to follow you then link it below and I will do so and if you would like to check it out then feel free but like I said I most likely will remain most active around this site so I might just be posting and responding to messages over there but IDK yet.

So have a great weekend and a big old pup hug, Kody~

Weasyl link: https://www.weasyl.com/~kodyarts

I can't quite remember the login for my username because I do have one and I know my pass but I forgot my username but still I am staying but if you happen to find a account that looks like mine with my name in it it might be mine and mabey link it here for me so I can log back in perhaps X3

Still weather or not I will upload stuff there is still TBD but we shall see and I will say defiantly one of the crazier days I have had in a LONG time!

So.....First I just wanted to say that I i get off for a few hours and then this announcement comes on and the next thing I know is there is drama out the ass over someone named Adam Wen or better know as Zaush who apparently is the worst thing to happen on the face of the planet to the furry community and it seems like the guy is worse than Hitler as people seem to be reacting to him existing as!

Still....I figure I will give my two cents on the mater and for me sure I am not 100% fan of the new site layout and to tell the truth when it drops....I might be more inclined to have a backup but so can see how some people would not like the new site look but for me I don't Fucking care!! I mean Fur affinity is supposed to be the BIGGEST site in the furry fandom and for me FA is where I got my start as a furry and thus I feel very attached to this site and I don't think I could ever bring myself to leave it even with the changes because I know it has its problems and for me as long as it still works it works frankly!

So for those who don't know the full story I don't really eather but from what I do understand is whoever Zaush is must have done something very bad in the past and people arnt to fond of having him on the staff and designing the new site and apparently whatever he did was serious enough to make a mass exodus of people leave FA for good now so I just want to say I am here to stay and for those of you leaving FA I can understand where you come from but I am toughing it out until I can anymore or just everyone else leaves so I am here to say for sure!

And what I mean by that is that my school (Kirkwood High school) Went on lock down for a good hour and a half today because supposedly an armed gunman had entered the building and was apparently a threat!!

....Well at least that is what they THOUGHT was going on because they did have a swat team, federal marshals, the police and everyone was showing up all while I was trapped in class and well it seems like it would be a serious issue that should be treated as such and I think the school did a great job of handling the situation with all the perinoia of school shootings lately.

However it was just a big waste of time for the police department because this "Intruder" happened to be just a local reporter from a local news station in St.Louis who was doing a cover story on school security in the St.Louis area, particularly the county and turns out what he would do is go ask if he could talk about security with an administrater, leave his name, phone and his car keys and would just leave and wonder the school to see how it reacted.

Don't get me wrong because it is a great way to do that but where the reported screwed up is not letting anyone know he was going to do this so he came off as a intruder I suppose.

So safe to say I have had an interesting Thursday! :3

Well today I was able to wake up to a nice surprise as right now here in St.louis we are buried in 8 Inches of snow and with a -7 degree temperature with wind gusts that make it feel like it is -20 is enough to call of school not only for today but I just found out that I don't have any school tomorrow as well!

So you could say I am one Happy pup right now! *wags like crazy*

So I hope that everyone has a good rest of your day today and try to stay warm and don't get sick, I have since a lot of people dealing with that around here and FA, Kody~

Hey everybody! I hope that all of my watchers were able to enjoy your new years eve and day yesterday with all the festivity's that come with it and I can say I sure did being at a "Roaring 20's" New Years theme party!

I again would like to just wish everybody a Happy New Year to start and I will say I hope that this next coming year really does bring a lot of great and awesome opportunity's to and for you as who really knows what will become of this upcoming year. Like the title says though I am starting this new year off optimistically because regardless of what happens to me this is no doubt a big and important year for me for many different reasons.

I also might as well share my new years resolutions for this year:

1. Counting what I did last year and that is getting even more in shape so I shall be keep getting at that because I have scene some great progress in the past year.

2. Granulating High school: Now I am not in danger of failing or anything but I am going to be graduating in may so that is BIG for me.

3. Going to collage: I officially start off in the fall so we should see how that turns out ^^

4. Being diff rent: I am trying to get more involved on FA and I am not sure if or how this will happen for me but I just want to try and do something different for a change, kinda mix it up really (Both on here and in real life)!

5. Finally just keep up a positive attitude and just try to help out as many people as I can and keep being kind in the long run!

So Again I really do hope the New Year brings you a lot of great things and Have an awesome day!

Just wanted to wish all of my watchers a very Happy new years and to having a fresh start on a WHOLE new year full of exciting things to come, so Hope you have a great one and have one heck of a night!

I am headed to a party tonight for it so I know I will be having a lot of fun and hope you guys do as well!

So again have a great rest of your day and Merry Christmas (For now)!

Exactly 72 years ago today Hostilities officially began for the untied states for World war 2 as pearl harbor was bombed and attacked by a combined Japinise task force of air and sea power that would later lead to an attack that would cause massive amounts of damage to american Pacific fleet and take nearly 2400 american navy-men and civilians lives, causing for war to only be declared by President Roosevelt one day later and cause the United states entry into Wolrd war 2.

I will say that this does resonate on a personal level for me because I did have a relative who was killed in the attack and for me he and everyone else who had lost a loved one on that fateful day and really I will never forget any of those men and women who had to give there lives on that day.

Also if anyone is interested I figured I would leave the presidents "State of war" address to congress the next day about the attack so if you would like you can give that a read and have a great rest of your day.

Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives:

Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us. Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph -- so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.

Just as the title says I really hope that everyone is having a really awesome and wonderful Thanksgiving day so far!

I know I am because I am just about to head out to see my High school football game that has been played for the past 106 years on Turkey day between our rival high school, Webster Groves and it is always a tradition I look forward to around this time of year and hopefully we can pull out a win this year because we have not been so Hot the past few years! So I am wishing them luck and GOOD WOOD!

So again I hope you all have a safe and wonderful thanksgiving and I hope it stays awesome for all of you so Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey all, yes I know it is not thanksgiving quite yet but It is close enough for me and it has been getting colder out and heck it already has snowed here for me so I am switching over from fall kody to Snow kody!

This icon was made by the wonderful  sirod

That is not a misspell on my park because as it turns out that I am sure a LOT of you have hard because I know I have been seeing journals about it all over the place but truly you can win in this raffle $1111 in either cash or in commission credit towards other artists of your choice and really either way it is at least worth taking a look at, I mean that is a decent amount of money for just a raffle!

So basically though  krispup is the amazing one doing this amazing raffle so I think that it is worth checking out and here exactly is a link to how you can enter for this and you do have plenty of time to enter this but why wait, just follow the link here and check it out!:

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5259913/

And what I mean by that is that I am sure you all have heard of the MASSIVE typhoon that hit the Philippines recently and it just caused all kinds of destruction and devastation and killed thousand upon thousands of people along with left just as many homeless and starving and just fighting for survival.

This being said  toddlergirl is doing a massive charity drive in order to help these victims in a giant non-stop art marathon where she is taking as many commissions as possible and all the money raised from this goes STRAIGHT to the Philippines to help out with the recovery effort there and knowing gem there would NEVER be any fraud involved and one strong reason for that is it is nearly personal for her in a way so I can trust her word compleatly on this!.

So if you would like to know how to help out or just would like to donate or anything, just follow this link here where it explains a lot more in depth about the situation and what she is doing to help so go check her out and again see you guys later and be sure to have a wonderful day!

So I figured I would let you guys know that I am headed out of town for the next few days so I will not be around FA much from 8:15 tomorrow though Sunday day.

Basically what it comes down to is that I am headed out of town to the Missouri state capital in Jefferson city to compete and take part in my schools delegation for the annual "Youth in Government" competition where Biscay I go and it is my job to be a politician for a weekend X3

Really though for those who don't know what it is is that it is a competition where high school students author bills either by themselves or with a partner or a group of people who then it is there job to get there bill passed through all the levels of government starting in committees and working there way up through the governor to hopefully be signed into "Law".

I will admit this is my first year actually doing something like this and it is really exciting for me but I have know idea what to expect either so wish me luck in the competition. So this means I will be seeing you guys after the next few days and I will see all of you later then and have a really great day as always and like I said, wish me luck!

~Kody ^^ *Huggles everyone*
