Bear has been vaccinated

You should to. Be like Bear, covid and flu.

It rhymes and is true.

I decided to give my garden a clean-up this morning. It’s hardly gonna compete in Chelsea, but it sure as heck looks and feels a lot tidier. Consider me satisfied 🙂

He’s secretly really sweet! I remember meeting Scrooge McDuck at Disneyland Paris a few years ago. I hugged him and said, “You”re not as mean as you pretend to be, are you?”, to which he shook his head. 😁

Argh!

It’s been over three days since I last socialised with other furries!

Three days!

That’s way too long to pretend to be a normie.

Can’t cope. Want fluff. Need soft squishy hugs.

You mean you *have* a chest? 😁🥰

Charleston Rat @charlestonrat.bsky.social · 1d

What a handsome belly! 😍

Charleston Rat @charlestonrat.bsky.social · 2d

My first #TummyTuesday series, titled “Belly Maintenance from the Outside” 😂 The first step is to make sure it’s properly soaked in warm water.

Charleston Rat @charlestonrat.bsky.social · 2d

Oh, how I wish I could stroke your facial fluff! ❤️❤️❤️

I was involved with Fastest Furs Fall Fest speedrunning, which raised over $17K for Trans Lifeline!

I've heard we are protagonists of our story, NPCs of everyone else's. But NPCs can profoundly impact a story.

Be the best NPCs you can be for others. Lead with curiosity, gratitude, and kindness!

Also, this was the end result of eating it ☺️

Charleston Rat @charlestonrat.bsky.social · 4d

#ChefRat Inspired by Tangled and the autumn season, I thought I’d have a go at making hazelnut and parsnips soup. If I’m being totally honest, I put way too much salt in it. But at least it looks pretty in the bowl 😂

Maybe if that happens, tell them you own pets and it’s something you tell them when starting something?

#TummyTuesday time! After a long evening of doing housework, it’s a good idea just to lay down and take a few deep breaths.

Charleston Rat @charlestonrat.bsky.social · 8d

I can picture this pose being used for a bronze sculpture of you in 100 years time 😁

Charleston Rat @charlestonrat.bsky.social · 8d

This is you? if so, you look different somehow
