Thanks, you too.

The mother wolf looks gorgeous and brilliant.

This is amazing! I love it!

I love the traditional theme with the furry style. It's such a warming change from the norm. Well done!

WOW great work!
Thanks for inviting my character.
Happy early Thanksgiving!

btw, I'm planning to put this picture on my site at MySpace.
May I do it?

Absolutely =) Just leave a link for me okay?

Is it mean "Put a like for your page in my page" of "Put a link for my page in here"?
I'll put the picture and a link after school...

A link for others to find me...so if they like the art they can find more of it. =)

I see, thanks. :)

that's a great rustic look and lovely coloring, very nice....

though the thought of spending it with our families creeps me and my mate out... but there is the thought if raising a family of our own... wait what the fuck am I talking about? I'm not ready to have kids of my own, AAAAHHhhhh run away run away run away.....

I decided a long time ago I don't want kids.

May I ask how come?

My reasons for not having any are I don’t think I’m mentally ready even though I am 26 I still act immature and hot headed. My finances are questionable and severely lacking to a point I don’t even know how can I even take care of my self let a lone a family.

I’m also a horn ball and can’t go three days with out sexual pleasure, which is why I’m glad I have a mate that likes porn, belly dancing girls, girls in short skits (Heh, sometimes I wonder if she has an invisible cock) and watching her mate having fun with him self. I really can’t see my self going 9 months with out sucking a clit and tasting the sweet nectar of a woman. Though explaining to the kids where babies come form couldn’t be any easier.

Another thing is I want to explore the world and travel down unbeaten paths to enlightenment and adventure. I know it sounds like a page out of a book but it’s true I would love to go some place in nature where people haven’t been.

On top of that, this country’s medical system is a shameful joke it’s pathetic. It seem that people do better dyeing than trying to get better and to think of my mate going to a hospital to give birth gives me cold shivers as well as the thought of subjecting my pups (kids) to it.

Furthermore, there is just too much racism in the world, me and my mate are a mixed couple and I don’t feel like going to jail for hunting and damn near betting a person to death for saying or doing something detest to my mate or my pups (kids)

Last but not least, the educational system is well… what educational system? Really, what are they teaching the kids in school? Compared to some other countries this is one of the lowest educational systems in the world. Just to have fun rubbing it in Japan is cranking out more high-end IT students than the U.S. hmmm makes ya wonder who is ahead of the curve. It’s not the U.S. I can tell you that. I think I would do better Homeschooling my pups (kids) than putting them in the educational system.

Uhhh oooo crap I had diarrhea of the mouth. Uhhh well what was for dinner? Uh heehee sorry.

Nah its okay...I'm actually glad someone asked my reason why instead of just telling me I'll change my mind someday.

My reasons aren't far from yours really. One, I want to be able to do what I want, when I want, how I want. I don't want to have to worry about a toddler getting into stuff while I'm trying to work on artwork. I want to be able to be spontaneous and say, "hey lets go out to dinner and a movie tonight" and not have to worry about finding a sitter. And like you, I don't want the sex life to suffer.

I also am not really in a financial position for children - and I don't expect to ever be. Kids have all kinds of medical and educational needs, on top of the food, clothing and toys you constantly have to buy. I barely afford these things for myself, how the heck would I do it for a child for 18 years? And I don't even need to go into detail about the crime and corruption out there...who want's to bring a child into that?

Last, I don't really need to have children to feel complete. My maternal instincts are satisfied with my pets. My "need to create" is satisfied with my art. And the desire to leave something behind when I die - well, my art will be my mark on this world. No children necessary.

I get so aggravated when people argue with me over this subject. I'm an adult, its my decision, and how dare they presume to know what's right for me?

Thanks for sharing though, its nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks creating offspring is a requirement in life.

Ya know I’m still trying to understand why people do that too and even this whole thing ageist abortion, which is absolutely ridiculous. Seriously if I where a woman and got raped I wouldn’t want to have some creep’s child or worse my health could be in jeopardy but that’s a whole new story.

So anyway happy late Get Fat Glutton day which is also known as thanksgiving.
hugs ya tight.

Same to you. =) *hugs*

Have furries actually criticized you for not having kids?

No, furries haven't. Other people I've known have argued it with me though.

Ahh, I see.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Feline Indian with a mustache and goatee? This boggles me. *Rubs chin and further studies this* xD

*followed his character sheet*

Happy One Day Till Thanksgiving! :D

very well done Melissa. hmmm, i see that you have no sweet potatoes *holds up a dish*

Yeah, I did think about those, but no room. =(

oh don't sweat it, i don't even have a fursona... or were you talking about the sweat potatoes?

The potatoes.

oh well, i'll just have to bring some to Oklahoma next year

Don't forget strawberries.

i'll be sure to get Luthien or Melissa strawberries too, while you bring the David sunflower seeds. oh, and if you can bring a hug too

I carry those all the time! XD

well, aren't you a big ball of love

No I'm a Fun Sized ball of love lol. (I'm only 5'2", so I get a lot of short jokes. Fun Size is my new comeback.)

in that case i'm gonna hold yur box of strawberries high in the air out of yur reach just to torture you xD. oh, can you do me a favor and listen to this song, i just wanna know what you think is all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tazoid8UX5U

I remember that song from the Little Rascals movie. But this short person has many reasons to live. One of which is I gotta make it to Oklacon next year and tackle a certain bearded dragon owner and make him eat dirt while I eat strawberries. =D

well that can't be me... Vino died recently. but if you are referring to me... BRING IT ON LITTLE GIRL!!! *gives you a raspberry*

Your beardie died? Aw, sad. What happened?

he just stopped eating and eventually died of starvation. but he was old for a beardie... but i have no idea why he went all uber Ghandi on me. which is a bummer because i was gonna show him to you in oklahoma... after putting him on yur face while you sleep

Did you give him a UVB light and calcium supplements? How was the temperature in his cage? How old was he? Cuz beardies only live like 10 years. Reply in a note so we don't stretch this page out anymore lol

Very well done!

Haha, so cute! Turned out wonderfully!

HA! That's awesome that someone had the same idea as I did!

This piece is so beautiful. I love the idea of it and the way you drew it! I think it came out better than mine by far :3

Haha that's awesome...great minds think alike. =)

Thank you so much, again, for inluding me in this piece! I'm glad to see a couple other felines in attendance, as well. I love Luthien's motherly expression... and how the two green-eyed chars are in the foreground. Furries give this piece so much character. Great idea, and great work!

this is just amazing, your art is so beautiful. hope your Christmas one is just as good as this.

Not sure if I'm going to do a christmas one like this...as cool as this turned out, it really is hard to fit so many people into one piece. I typically like to have only one or two characters in a picture. But I might do some sort of christmas card style pic with Luthien, Theron and Maraschino in it.

Lovely work!

Yay! I can has breast meat and cornbreads?

Oh man I shoulda put cornbread in there too...I think they need a bigger table. lol

is that the sweet cord bread, or is that the crumbly cornbread that ain't sweet?

I spent 10 years down Georgia way, and they got lots of way a makin' the cornbread


Math Joke: pie are square? not it ain't! Pie Are Round, Cornbread are square!

Very nice.

I thought I recognized the set up of this before I even red the description - or the title for that matter.

Very lovely composition, festive colors. Happy Thanksgiving!

I absolutely love it. Thanks again for letting me come to dinner with the crowd.

It also makes me giggle just a bit to see everyone's heads peeking over the table, looking for food.

I know lol almost makes more sense with the characters being animals than it does if they were human. I especially love Theron's expression...almost like he's not gonna wait for that turkey to get carved, he just wants to dig right in. ^.^

What a beautiful piece!! Thank you so much for having me over for dinner!! *Eyes the tasty looking turkey*

Awesome, but a roast is better than a turkey. :P

I kinda like ham more than turkey myself.

Honeyglazed ham in a toasted wheatbread sandwich with your choice of cheese, mayo, and mustard. ^_^

awww I love this! It makes my tumeh growl D:

and I like how as I'm typing this my IM pops up in the corner saying you logged on lol
good timing I has on leaving comments

Couldn't have been me...I was at work.

Hmmmmmmmmm odd
lol oh well :P
IM's are funky (atleast mine are) right after it said you logged on you loged off lol
yay for yahoo!

it's gorgeous ^_^

An awesome pic, well done in perspective and detail. Simple but effective.

YAY turkey day! nice work Luth

yay its done!!! thanks so much for puting me in <3 <3 <3 we like look one big furry family!

This is so cool. And now its time for.... Extreme Close-up! Aaaaaaaaa!! lol. Great art as usual my wolfy friend. The dragon likes.

Nice pic. With so many carnivores there, however, you'll need more turkeys. I think my three dogs alone would eat an averaged-sized one if I gave it all to them.
