The story session was a hit. Only a small number of kids, about 12 or 14 I think, but parents and grandparents were there too. The adults were very impressed with the fursuit and presentation, the kids were a bit young to appreciate it all but many did want to "pet" the wolf and some were afraid to get close ( Read more... )

I did get the paws, both hands and feet, done last night. Janet, who will be our storyteller, was delighted this morning when I showed her the tail I made for her. She has a flowery housedress and a straw hat with flowers ready to wear, matching the drawings of the wolf in disguise reading stories to the children in the book. It occurs to me that I ( Read more... )

It was a bad day. I know that because I was the first one into the library (not all that unusual) and yet didn't get to my own desk to do anything until 11 am.

Plans for the fursuit/storytime event at work are building. Looks like we will do it. Winston ( Read more... )

Thought I had escaped without being asked to fursuit for Summer Reading but the question came today. I agreed to do Argos (since the theme is Reading on the Wild Side, and they are featuring all sorts of wild animal stuff) but only if they find a story to read in which the wolf is NOT the villain. This tends to be harder than you might think ( Read more... )

For those of you who may be interested, Argos now has his own journal and will be posting regularly. Strictly in character, and he will try to stay that way and interact with all of you appropriately. Feel free to have fun with him, but be nice. Remember, he's a very fluffy and gentle wuffy. ;D
