Sometime within the last 3 weeks, though probably in the last week or so, my storage unit was broke into and nearly everything stolen from it, including my fursuit Woodwind amongst other things.

Never really posted any pics of him on my FA page, but this is a good photo of what he looks like: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/6534691/

I know I don't have many followers, but if anyone happens to see this suit for sale or otherwise out and about, I'd appreciate a note here, or I can be contacted on Telegram at: https://t.me/Dolph_1

I'm quite heartbroken at this, I had nearly everything I owned in there, including all of my slides/negatives and other photographs I have taken over the years as well as hard drives that had all my digital photos on them.

While I have insurance, it's not going to cover the cost of replacing everything. I had quite a few retired Lego sets, other collectables and retro videos games and systems that at this point are prohibitively expensive to replace, including the same ones I used to play with as a kid. Also all my watchmaking/repair tools along with quite a few pocket watches in various stages of repair.

Thanks, everyone.

One of my oldest friends  atsumori999 has fallen on hard times and is asking for some help paying bills and such. He's a great friend who has been with me through thick and thin, and is not one to ask for handouts, though he will be posting some arts from a portfolio if he meets his goal as well as opening up some comission slots.

The first 10 artists who comment on this journal will be featured here, along with three submissions chosen from their gallery by myself.

If you answer, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing the list with 10 other people. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone.

Nothing like being in a desperate situation to one to do something they have always talked about.

So on that note, I will now be offering my photos for sale. I lost my job 6 months ago, and only had enough money to suport myself for two months at most. Luckily my parrents have been kind enouigh to loan me money for bills, but they are starting to get fed up with it, and I honestly don't like asking for money from people. I have car payments, insurance, cellphone and credit card bills I need to keep up on and would very much like to be able to pay them myself.

I have set up a simple gallery which showcases the photos I have decided to sell at: http://www.avians.net/~dolph/FSO/
(note: I just quickly went through my photos to pick out the ones I thought were best, but haven't been able to do any corrections to them, so some may seem dark or bright, but will be corrected before being printed. If you have any questions about the quality of the image please note me and I will adjust it and email it to you for your approval)

Prints can either be made in a glossy or matt finish in either color or black & white and pricing will be as follows:

4x6 print: $5.00
5x7 print: $10.00
8x10 print: $20.00

If there are any other sizes(larger or smaller) that you would like, please cotact me for a quote.

These prices include shipping within the US, if you are outside of the US they may be higher.

Payments can be made either though paypal, money order or mailed check

To order, please view the gallery linked then either note me here or email me at dolph1_hotmail.com with the filename of the image you want and your preferred method of payment. After payment has been received I will have the image printed and mailed out either the same day or next day. I check my email several times a day, so if I do not respond within 24 hours, I might not have received the email, so please send me a note here on FA.
I apolgize if the pricing seems a bit high to some, but I need to cover cost of printing and shipping while still making a profit.

If there are any more questions, please feel to note or email me.

Edit: changed my email address as my avians.net one does not seem to be working properly, so if anyony has emailed me previously, please send it to the new address listed, or note me here

Eh, why not?

1. You can ONLY answer Yes or No .

Well, so much for the whole 'upload at least 1 pic a week' thing :p Imma lazy birdy

Kinda made up for it by uploading a bunch at once, and will try to work at uploading more often

So yeah, decided I'm going to try to upload at least one new pic per week, having taken over 4000 photos over the last 3 years since I got my D-SLR I should have no shortage of things to upload, even though only a small fraction of those are any good :)

So I guess I haven't said much about the 'center' itself, so here it is. As the subject implies, it's called the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center, and was founded in 1984 by Kaye Baxter and is located in Arlington, Washington State. We take in injured and orphaned wildlife and do our best to heal/raise them and of course our ultimate goal is to release them back into the wild. We are a 501c3 certified non-profit orginization, and run entirely off of donations and volunteers. We receive no state, local or federal funding aside from what the public donates to us.

I have been volunteering up there for a little over 5 years now, though with it being about 30 miles north of me, I can really only afford to go up once a week, though sometimes go up twice a week for programs and such. As well as rescuing and tending to injured/orphaned wildlife, we also do educational programs at schools, company picnics, festivals and so on. We have several non-releasable birds of prey we bring along, including eagles, hawks, falcons and owls. We try to educate the public about these birds, as well as encourage others take a more active role in conservation with the enviroment. We also have an educational building, which is were we house most of our educational birds, which is open to the public and offers a self guided tour where you can view the birds and take pictures.

We also run the only wildlife 'ambulance' in the state, and while we don't have the funding or manpower to go out and get every injured animal, as much as we would like to, we do use the ambulance to pick up animals from various dropoff points.

On July 4th, 2008, Kay Baxter, the founder of the center, lost her battle with cancer. During the many years she ran the center, she had to take out a mortage on the property to help pay the bills, and with her passing that mortage came due and for a while it seemed like we might loose the land the center is on. However, due to a large donation from a trust, who wishes to remain anonymus, we were able to pay off the mortage and buy the land the center is on so we can continue our work.

The website for the center is www.sarveywildlife.org and includes links to pictures others have taken there, strories written by volunteers and recent news about the center, as well as a link to donate to the center.

I end in saying that I hope you will live with all of your relations, that includes the two legged, the four legged, the ones that fly, the ones that swim. The creepy crawlies and the tall ones, the trees.
