I am looking to sell my fursuit to help pay vet bills for my dog. A SUPER unique full digitigrade Chinese Crested fursuit made by Mango Island in 2014. Not worn a ton & kept in storage the last 6 years, in great condition. Also comes with badges & bandana! Taking offers, please DM me for info!

I’ve also been doing a ton of Doggy Doodles to get a little extra income, due to a lot of vet visits this year. Our dog Django had an expensive CT scan & rhinoscopy to diagnose chronic nasal discharge AND has gotten pneumonia 3 times… it’s been a hard year 🥲 The Doodles keep me creative and drawing!

I’m still not great at keeping this updated 😆 I never shared my 2025 Christmas card reveal on here so here that is 😊 It’s snowy in Colorado today so even though the holidays are over at least the weather is cooperating!

In case anyone here is a previous recipient of my holiday cards, I’m collecting addresses for this year! forms.gle/CZhrbzXJxXwQ... If there are more forms than cards, I prioritize people who have gotten cards in previous years because many people collect then. Here is last year's card design!

Goodness, I got home from work to find so many new follows and reposts! Thank you all so much ❤️ My doggo Django had another vet visit today. Mostly good news, but current diagnosis is kidney disease, which isn’t treatable but can be managed. Here’s the old boy being good at the vet today 💚

A short personal thread to explain upcoming posts; My main source of income (dog training) is susceptible to weather & has been cancelled for 2 weeks due to freezing cold temps here in CO. So needless to say, I suddenly find myself with an extremely limited income (it happens sometimes, I get by)

Korra and I traveled down to New Mexico with friends to play agility in a new state! 3 days of competition and we only came back with one Qualifying run (2nd place) but it was a hard-earned one!

Soooo what’s the best way to sell a fursuit these days? Looks like the old auction site is defunct now. I’m so out of touch with the fandom 😅 But my older dog is having some medical problems, vet bills are piling up, and I have a super cute Chinese Crested in the closet that should find a new home ❤️

The middle dog is a tan and white cattle dog mix with face speckles. The dog on the right is a brown and tan mini American shepherd. All three are wearing bandanas and smiling at one another.

Pabu made it higher than he’s ever been on the cat tree, so of course Charlie and I took pictures like the paparazzi 😂 (and then made sure to supervise a safe exit!)

A few of my pet caricatures I did from 2019-2020. Pet caricatures have become a staple of my commissions! They're so fun to do, and let my cartoony creative side out 😋

We saw “Dear Evan Hansen” on stage last night, I’m a fan of the soundtrack but hadn’t seen it on stage before! After “Requiem” I told Charlie I wished the song was a Warriors MAP. After “Good For You” I told him that song IS an awesome Warriors MAP (and actually how I discovered DEH) 😂 #warriorcats
