Safely ensconced in the Grand Sierra Resort for #BLFC2025 / @goblfc.org! I hope to do a little suiting and gradually get back up to speed. Very glad to be here!

Alrighty then! Gonna do a “testing the waters” and go to Frolic tonite! I prolly won’t stay late, and if I suit up, it won’t be as long as I usually do. But I’m looking forward to seeing all you local fuzzbutts! And I can hug again! Yay!

I can make that happen. You just have to remember to duck under the little arch thing at the top of the first hill. :p

I get released from the hospital in a day or 2. I will keep this pic in mind as I recover. It’ll take months, but eventually I expect to be back to dancing my purple butt off. There are too many hugs to give, too much dancing to do, too much life to live. :) #FursuitFriday

2/2) I expect to be recuperating over the next 4 weeks & I hope to be recovered enough to make it to BLFC! I’m in good hands, w/ an expert surgeon & friends caring for me post surgery. Y’all have fun at AFC, & I’ll catch you on the flip side. Love to you all. :)

For those that don’t know: I’m having open heart surgery in a couple days, to repair a faulty heart valve. It’s NOT an emergency; I’ve had this planned for months.(It’s not a coincidence that I scheduled this AFTER Burning Man! :) ). Surgery is this Friday,& I will be off line over the weekend.(1/2)

None of us know them, but I found their telegram and have messaged them. :)

Yes, they in fact did. Also, of course, Kansas’s “Dust In The Wind”. Naturally!

Despite the weather, I still had a great time at Burning Man! Difficult conditions are part of it. :) Here’s a giraffe art car with flaming ossicones. Because of course they would flame. :)
Wanted to get a fursuit pic with them but was unable to make it happen.
