About Me (Pronouns, Status, Likes -- relationship stuff)
Male, He/Him.
Extra-Chonky Grey Muzzle (50+).

He is a happier version of Me, living a fairy tale life that ends happily ever after.

Further Information About My Fursona
Charlie is Named after an English Springer Spaniel that I had whose name is homage to Charles the First, king of England. His Last Name refers to the Battle of Dunbar during the English Civil War.
Why A Dog?
I created Charlie based on a life long love of Cartoon Dogs from Hanna-Barbera and for the love of the dogs that had me throughout my life.
How Charlie and I Relate:
Since Charlie mirrors me, he is now older and I will be reflecting that in future artwork and story lines.

Post Con Report
So New Jersey had an actual furry convention for the first time in a long time -- Garden State Fur the Weekend.
Hats off to all those who orchestrated this event. It went off quite well, despite having to change venues during the planning phases -- to handle the expected crowds.
It will be returning next year, and so will I, Dog willing.
You've got to Know Your Limitations
Conventions are fun, and this one had all the amenities -- panels, dances, more panels, card games, sketch book swaps, and the dealer's den, but I take my fun in small measures, as I tire out after a few hours, so I only day tripped this time around -- as I spent some of my convention money on a refurbished Quest2, instead of a hotel room.
New Tricks
I still haven't gotten the knack of taking pictures in suit -- I did see a set of paws with finger openings that would make life easier for human tasks, like operating my phone, so I may get a pair.
As in a museum, where a statue is defined as something you bump into when backing up to look at the paintings, I bump into stationary chairs and other furs when my head is on -- even when paying full mind.
I truly need a handler, but haven't found anyone willing to do the task.
I believe next time I will split my time in Suit and Out of Suit and maybe be more stationary with a sign asking for other suiters to take a picture with me; I have a tripod and remote shutter which would do the jo job nicely -- as oftentimes I have difficulties finding the few pictures I'm in online that other people take.
Virtual Dog
I used my recently purchased Quest2 to visit the VRChat Portal GSFtW ran; it was funny talking to people I was with, in furson, on Friday through the Virtual Portal on Saturday.
With my mobility, I believe playing a dog on the Internet, on social media and in VR may be my long term way of staying active. It's getting closer to being uploaded into the Simulation.
Other Fun
I allowed myself some con purchases -- a nicer set of clip on ears that happened to be in my colors (Clifford red with pink undersides) and a cooling fan I can stick in my muzzle to help with air flow.
Venn We Meet Again
Why did the furry cross the road? For chicken nuggets!
I broke for lunch and went across the street from the convention center to a little Irish Pub. While there, my ears perked up when I heard a debate about the rivalry between Bronies and Furries and why was there such rivalry. I was out of fursuit, but wearing my con badge, so I interjected myself and said it may be just cross-town rivalry, but IMHO, we're all Antrhop fans, but while all Ponies are Anthrops, not all Athrops are Ponies. I did tell them about Tim_Kangaroo and how I do like a little MLP myself, so we're not all in opposing camps -- a lesson we all can learn from: agreeing on different strokes for different folks.
Everyfurry and Everpony should get along, but that's life.
In Closing
So after a long and carb filled lunch, I was ready to decompress, so I headed home after a final round of fare thee wells and in doing so taking some extra steppies to burn off the food I overindulged in.
When I got home, Charlie got a wash and dry and I spent the weekend pondering my experience and how to do it better next time.
