Sighs of Relief

I always seem to have a sense of relief when he is finally Washed, Dried, and brushed out after any fursuiting event.






Just knowing that there has been no damage done that needs to be tended to seems to make me believe that the event was a success! 

Safe and secure in his case ready for the next Great Furry Adventure.

Running Away With A Joke

The start of a JOKE that I decided to tear apart and run with… now it has become a “thing” all its own.

Relic, my Fursonna, is based on a Grey Wolf / Timber Wolf, and from the start was largely associated with being a Lumberjack in the region of New York I grew up in, in the Adirondack Mountains. Within the first year after creating my first fursuit of Relic or as I referred to the suit at the time “TIMBER” I realized that the Lumberjack side soon faded away in favor of a more refined Jazz Club loving character. I decided to move Relic more toward the Urban, Easy Jazz side of life that fits his mannerisms much more accurately, and that is where he has resided ever since... a real “Jazz Wolf”.

This side of Relic and I are virtually identical and we both, obviously, have a certain affinity for fur. That being said I have never been one to hold back or hide what I am interested in. I began to “swag out” my car adding first declarative stickers affirming my interest in and my belonging to the Furry Fandom. I soon wanted to add more of a statement and after some time and using some Snow Leopard fur that I had laying around collecting dust, I covered the dash, and I added a tail to the back of the car. It drew looks and attention to the car that I found totally hilarious and in time created a better version of the tail that was more easily removed in case removal was needed for any reasons (including tossing it in the wash). Now with more Snep (aka Snow Leopard) fur left sitting in the box I realized I had torn edges on one of my front seats in the car and went to work making covers for the two front seats, including the head rests.

It was at this time after posting several photos on my blog and to friends over Telegram that several puns returned to me about my character being a Timber Wolf and “Snepping out” my car made it seem that I might be “Species Confused”. OMG! I nearly died of laughter! Shortly after that I decided that instead of taking this as a Joke I would embrace the reference and make it my own “thing” (thank you to all those that pushed those buttons, you know who you are).

Behold the birth of “Sneppenwolf” A somewhat confused Timber Wolf that has a desire to become a Snow Leopard Fursuiter !

I continued to think of more ways to “Snep Out” the Vibe and added Snep Fur covering to the Door Panels, and have more ideas for the inside as well, likely to do Snep themed floor mats too (yes they are available as well).

During CanFURence 2018 I commissioned artwork from GNAW depicting my Vibe in the background with the door open and Relic frantically stepping into a Snep Fursuit. If this artwork turns out as well as I have expectations of it, I will likely seek the artists permission to use the piece as a vinyl wrap for either the car hood or one on each side of the car (to be determined later). I have also located vinyl automotive wrap that comes in the Grey Snow Leopard print as well (actually quite realistic looking too), so this car could wind up a virtual Snep Suit on wheels.

Back To The Grind

Wow! What a fantastic time at CanFURence 2018 and the new venue "The Brookstreet" is as near a perfect match for our need as we can probably get at this point, what a wonderful hotel and the staff are the best.







A very trendy feel to the Hotel, modern, but not Industrial. 










Spaces easy to navigate...









Lighting that accents the spaces nicely.

So our attendance this year hit 457 in total and we raised $10,000.61 for our charity "Courageous Companions"!  This amount from these numbers speaks volumes as to the caliber of those furries associated with and that attend CanFURence.  




Our Fursuiters photo taken just prior to the Parade had 105 of us suited up, there could likely have been many more than that had the parade been scheduled for Saturday rather than Sunday, or even perhaps earlier in the day Sunday as Checkout times were interfering with being able to attend. 

I am all ready looking forward to next years stay at The Brookstreet for CanFURence 2019 "Furry Mystery"
