I can't even remember the last time I did a Furry Friday post.  I have two reasons for that oversight.  First, the bad reason is that I've been burned out (see other recent posts).  Second, however, the very good reason is because animals have been adopted so quickly that I simply haven't had time to get to know them before they find homes!  At a ( Read more... )

Story:  Thanks to a message from bitterlawngnome, I've arranged for my organization to send unused fur down to the Gulf of Mexico for use in helping cope with the oil spill.  Several people at work have heard the same call for hair/fur and proposed helping out.  Most of our healthy fur comes from spay surgeries, and I've arranged from sites that want to ( Read more... )
