First off, a thank you for my dad for finding this picture, and a special thanks to one of the local news stations, WTAE-TV, for taking this in the first place.

This picture has a bit of a more special meaning to me. When I was waiting for us to board the cruise, this family, with a 2-year old girl, was walking around, also waiting for the cruise. The little girl was excited seeing all the furries around, and spotted me in the distance, and suddenly I'm hearing "Hi Lizard! Hi Lizard!" as she's waving at me. I couldn't help but laugh and knelt down to her level as she ran up to me to hug me.

I mean, seriously, how can you NOT look at this picture and smile?

This was my first actual interaction with the public in my fursuit, and it wasn't until just this morning on the day of posting that I found out that a photographer (who was there to take pictures of the furries on the cruise, too) was taking this picture as well.
