Tell Me He's Not Sharing My Water Bowl, Too.

On a recent stroll down the boardwalk, a nice couple invited me onto their beach front rental's patio. They plied me with ice cold lemonade in exchange for a picture with their dog. They were on vacation from Arkansas and thought it would be fun to e-mail the photo to their friends back home with a caption like "Our dog is enjoying her California holiday."
But no one asked the dog.
She refused to get on the patio with me.
She orbited me like a satellite, sniffing my paw pads
and trying in vain to discover just what I was up to.
The fat yellow Lab finally chased the skinny Sheppy of the premises.
But not before I filled up on lemonade...

Gotta' work on my dog impersonation skills...
That was one smart dawg...
and wait for the spontaneous fun to erupt on the way.
The dog; not so much...
Now if only this one liked Sheppies...
Wait, don't answer that....
*is tech challenged*
And you can always note me here...
It's nice when people are actually NICE to fursuiters,
rather then rejectful and unbeleiveably rude.
I've never gotten one bad reaction to my
public fursuiting adventures.
Ignored a few times, sure. But mostly everyone has been
so nice and the interaction I've had has been a big
motivator to continue to suit in public.
Plus, I'm an attention whore...
A beautiful suit like yours deserves it,
ecspecially the cost of haveing a suit.
Im happy to hear no one has been rude to you about your suit,
thats good, it makes me smile to hear.
It's just childish when someone has to be SO rude as to go out and ruin
someones day. :c
There is no room for rudeness, no matter
what someone is doing to express themselves.
If you don't like it, just ignore it.
I have been truly blessed thus far.
I love this picture by the way. The dog is looking at you like "What the hell is this guy doing on my porch? Is he going to hurt my people?"
Part of the fun of suiting for me is the ease in with
which one can talk to "strangers."
To that end, the jaw of this suit is fully articulated;
it moves really well and follows my speech pattern.
I know many suiters don't talk, and I respect that, but
for me half the fun is the verbal interaction.
Wouldn't you want to hear what a 6 foot dog has to say?
And thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad you like the pic..
interact with people in a positive way..
*sends Beastcub a box of fruit pies as a bribe*
Can't wait to suit with you!
Dog meets Dogbomb, brilliant
How come there's Christmas decorations still up ?
I think this was a very smart dog.
Trusting her eyes more than her nose.
She was sure I was a dog invading her space.
The decorations seem to stay up all year long.
It's a holiday rental house; no one pays the
outside much mind. As long as the sand is vacuumed
from the carpet and the frige is full of beer, no one seems to mind...
Ooooh i get ya- there's some places round here that keep the decorations up all year (they're either lazy or by the time they've taken everything down it'll be time to put it back up again!!)
Did you try to get your paws on anything a little stronger than lemonade ?
People who leave the decorations up are either procrastinators
of the highest order or really ahead of the game for next year...
The stronger stuff came later. But that's a story for next picture.
I must admit i'm a terrible procrastinator, but i have an ingenious solution when it comes to festive decorations- don't put any up !! No decorations up means no decorations to come down... I do love carving pumpkins though
I'm not so much into holiday decorations..
But I do like carving up a pumpkin.
And I do love Guy Fawkes day...
We spent last haloween in an abandoned mental asylum (which was supposedly haunted, but we never saw anything) and ended up letting off chinese lanterns out of the windows, we carved pumpkins and put up some haloween decorations... It was mega fun!! Until it rained that night and the roof leaked, luckily i was in a waterproof 'bivvy bag'/emergency shelter/oversized plastic carrier bag and the 4 other guys were crammed into a 2 man tent
We had fireworks one year and the holder toppled over- i'd never seen my dad run so fast !! unfortunatly the greenhouse needed a few replacement windows after that incident !!!And we had a catherine wheel on the fence that almost set fire to the fence panel !! The burn marks are still there to this day...
We ought to start a pumpkin carving contest this year for haloween
And we are on for the pumpkin carving contest...*weilds a mean knife*
*Ish slightly scared of the crazy knife wielding 6 foot doggy* We're so on for it
I love my paw pads, too, but they are so hard to show off!
Oxyclean does wonders to keep the fur white.
I've had to replace two paw pads, though.
And thank you, as always!
The dog looks so confused, and your pose just makes it more humorous to me.
"What? Never seen a 6ft dog before?"
I enjoyed this. <3
The positive comments are half the fun.
Thank you for being so kind!
Hope I see you around. I can always use the support...
Next time, I'm gunna cary snacky bits so the labby will love me...
all kinds of places...
Start saving now.
I think suits are getting better
and better as the fandom grows.
*brings you the morning paper*
*pees on your flowers*
ooops...
*helps "water" the tree*
And they were such sweet people.
I had to go and make friends with the
dog when I was out of suit.
I didn't tell the people who I was,
but I think they suspected...
of a fat Labby...
And thanks!
There are a number if great fursuit makers
out there. Expect to pay between a few hundred
and a few thousand bucks.
If you want some names of makers,
lemme know and I'll send you my short list.
I do look a bit suspect...
As far as talking in suit- I agree, just see what
works for you and what fits with your character.
I tired not talking but my head almost exploded.
I must blab!
You can always use your JRT pawpet to speak for you
Not sure why. I must remind them
of their childhood dog...
Martha is a very tactful dog-
She would probably request that
I remove my furry butt from the
premesis post haste lest a fracas
ensue. Them she would present me
with a writ to vacate.
Failing that, she would bite my ankle...
It's so interesting to me, how unpredictably animals can react to fursuits. Once we were having a meet at a public park where my friend was in his husky suit. A couple strolled by, walking their real husky, and when the dog saw my friend, he went ballistic! He was barking, growling and snarling, the whole bit. If it weren't for the leash, the dog probably would have mauled my friend down hardcore o_O
be a scary thing to go through. Plus, it may damage the suit...
I'm glad this labby was a nice one.
I'd give you free stuff to play with you X3 specially those nice looking paws X3
*plays with you on the patio*
I'm glad you like my size 13 paws.
With the claws they feel about 3 feet long.
Nice photo anyways!
Thanks as always, my friend.
