My awesome friend 
Teh and I at Corona Del Mar.
This lovely Shep flew across country on a mission to surprise me with
his company. No agenda, no expectations, no drama.
'Cause that's what true friends do.
If you've ever had someone special drop into your life then you can
relate. If you haven't, then try to be that person for someone else.
Friends support. Friends listen. Friends cajole when you feel down, and
share in your triumphs when you win. Friends aren't in it for the glory.
They never require thanks or payback. Friends operate under their own
power; they don't need to drain yours. Friends laugh when you tell a
dumb joke and don't get offended when you fart in the hot tub.
Friends know that life requires quiet time. Friends enjoy the crappy
snacks you get from the mini-mart, and even save you a cookie.
Friends are the backbone of life.
You can do all sorts of cool stuff alone.
You are born alone.
You will leave this earth alone.
In the interim, every iota of human strength should be directed at
being better friends to your fellow man.
Every experience is richer when paired with someone who shares
your sense of humor and your outlook on life.
Someone who has your back.
Thanks, dog.
A smile relieves a heart that grieves.
I'm just waiting on a friend.

No suiting this trip, but this is from FWA-

I may ghost FC...I refuse to give those people money after what they did to me. It's rather sad actually.
Anyway, I hope to be there. Otherwise, if you travel and find yourself in the inland pacific northwest, look me up. Also, I'm moving to extreme northern california (looks like an isolated cabin 2 hours from the nearest town!!! WOOT) so I'd be closer (assuming you're in California.)
Too bad you aren't going to Rainfurrest... I know its not the best run con (what a stupid theme...again), but if I go I'll ghost it again. I only go to meet people and hang out. So, if you decide to go to RF, do let me know and I'll stretch my budget and make an effort to be there.

Ha! We always do this.
I think you are lovely. That is my opinion.
I am a battle hardened veteran of human interaction.
I know someone special when I see them.
I know when someone is mean spirited or unkind,
and I know when someone's heart is in the right place.
I am not easy to fool.
I hold you in high esteem, even if you don't feel worthy of it.
Your comments always brighten my submissions and I'm glad that
you take the time to supply input. I count you as a friend.

Having one's heart in the right place is one thing. Having the rest of one's being in the right place is quite another. As for counting me as a friend, there are around seven billion other individuals who would make infinitely better friends than I, and that's just humans. I do not brighten anything. In fact, I barely do anything except whine, gripe and irritate. The reason I don't feel worthy of your esteem is becaquse I've done nothing to earn it, so why do you insist on wasting it on me?
A lot of people mistake acquaintances for friends. Anyone who isn't sure should print out your comments above for reference. Another thought that I heard long ago - although not as well detailed as yours - is "A friend is someone who knows everything about you and likes you anyway." (I may be paraphrasing that... it's been a while since I heard it).
You pretty much said everything I would have.
Now lately I've found out who my true friends are versus just a friend.
You know I just came out to my best friend as bi a couple weeks ago and I just hope to god he doesn't avoid just because I told him the truth like a real friend.
It's tough to come out to people who are supposed to stand by you. Having no friends or family over a stupid label is pretty sad but it is reality. I really hope when I call my best friend in a couple days or tommarow that he understands I'm not going to change what me and him have as friends, no way.
I'm not going to change myself because myself is what made us best friends in the first place.
Sorry Dog..
This is a really dark subject with me especially over the last year. It's not your fault Dog.. It's just that I can't believe what you have said here has pretty much ironed out the exact lies I have to deal with since I came out.
You'd think people would be more supportive but I guess fear of what you don't want to accept or understands puts a lot of so called friendships on the curb,
I didn't chose to like both sexes, it just happened that way so even though it hurts I know in my heart sometimes you just have to go on until support finds you.
The fact you have a friend like him is incredible and I hope it becomes life long for you Dog

I truly do hope so and as I get to more event locally maybe I can gain other friends not associated with my family or want to know what my problems are.
Like you said Dog,
Coming out is not easy because it tests who your loved ones and friends truly are. For me so far it's been a depressing reality zero of the fact I've already been shut out of all my family activities and important events which hurts deeper then you can imagine and now possibly i might have a best friend who really might just be a friend even though I told him I will always be the same around him.
We've been through so much with his father dieing of cirrhosis of the liver complicated from acute alcoholism and going to his funeral where it really bonded our friendship or so I thought.
If I wee to lose him to this it would be catastrophic and devastating knowing all I did was be open and honest with a person I really admire and cherish as a friend.
Courage always has consequences attached to it which is a real shame. That's why I admire you Dog because you cherish everybody you meet and are able to go through so many courageous things in your own personal life to come out the same if not stronger.
Like I said, I didn't ask to be bisexual nor did you ask to be gay; it just happened when you discovered who you truly were in your heart which is where they aren't looking at. They being friends and family.
Coming out tests some really stormy waters and I guess the only way I can describe it is it's the calm before the true fury of the storm hits so you have batten down the hatches and hold on hoping you survive.
Suicide in LGBT or even this is a real reality and it just breaks me up to see such a thing being undertaken by such young kids whose only fault was they discovered who they were in their heart and wanted to be part of society just like everybody else.
When people abandon you it really hurts and leads to the depression many of us in furry or LGBT have because all we did was be honest with our hearts who never steer us wrong.
All you can do Dog is just keep being yourself and hopefully one day we can meet and go have a couple beers together shooting the breeze or whatever

I have no choice but to cowboy up and just deal with what I deal with even if it gets to me sometimes which any sane man or woman will tell you happens.
I'm a real cowboy for a reason but even cowboys deserve to be loved and supported for who they are.
It's tough when you are a kid but it's even tougher when you are an adult barely out in society from college who is trying to find himself in society.
The best you can do is what you just did Dog because that's all I can do.. Hang in there.
We're all people in one way or another but we deserve to be treated like real people for what we are in our hearts, not what we are in our guts.
Take care gentle noble Dog and hopefully one day our paths will cross so I can treat you to the gourmet beer I owe you

Hmm, that guy looks very familiar there in the brown hat and white t shirt... WHERE could i have seen HIM before? :>
Very awesome, Dogbomb, and I'm glad that I could keep that little secret for Teh. He's a great dude, and I'm glad to count him as a friend too. I can't tell ya how many times I hear about how great Tony is, and it makes me feel good to know you two have had a good visit. :3
Take Care, DB.

Dog, I love your story, and i love the way you tell it. Goes for Teh too. It's even a little scary to read sometimes -- one dog drivin' to SJ through the pouring rain to eventually meet up with that special wunnerful dog who flew in from across the country. I made that exact same drive through that exact same storm, and spent a truly wunnerful weekend at the con with a kitteh who just melts my heart at a glance. How could two crusty ol' dogs like us get so lucky? Dunno, but I'm ever so grateful. I do hope you are doing well, and keep sharing all that you are willing to share. Your stories are truly touching and enriching to old mutts (and hosses) like meh.
*sigh* You're a lucky dog, Tony... I'll miss mah shep buddy when he moves, he's been such a good influence, and he's the first fur I've known outside of conventions and the internet. I feel like i can tell him stuff i wouldn't consider ever telling my human friends...
But guess that's what a furriend is...
