Well, the verdict is in...
Spook has tested positive for 'FeLV' (Feline Leukemia Virus) There's not much else that we can do to help her now. The vet told us that even with $ 1500.00+ in aggressive treatment that she would ultimately succumb to it anyways. As she was in fact vaccinated for both 'FIV' and 'FeLV' at the shelter prior to adoption the vet suspects it was passed on to her at birth by here mother thus invalidating the vaccine. She can't eat much anymore, and moving is difficult so I tend to carry her to her favorite spots she used to have to sit and wait.
It gets worse... 'Eve' (Our other young cat) has not been vaccinated for either FIV or FeLV yet, and it is highly contagious. Though most cats that get the virus become immune, they remain carriers of the virus for life. That makes Eve a walking death sentence to most cats she meets. It won't be easy to find here a new companion kitty. I can only hope she's in the clear. It's angering in some ways that the shelter never picked up on this beforehand, but I guess it's not there fault. They do there best to insure health before releasing them to adoption. Luck of the draw I suppose. Only 14 months old, and not even make it a single Christmas with us. We will be taking Spook down the 'Green Mile' on Friday at the East Toronto Animal Services. Poor Spook... I will post some final Photo's of her in the days to come.

Once again it's been a long while since I've been active here. Me and Jay have been busy with us taking on LyonShel Studios.
For the last three weeks our second companion cat 'Spook' has been ill. She has not been eating much if anything, and we have been reduced to feeding her 'vitamin-paste' to keep her alive. We took here to the vet again today for a full blood work-up. The vets there were blunt in letting us know that Spooks time left here with us is short. Liver failure and jaundice are visible along with her extremely low body weight and visible ribs and spine.
We had her for less then one year when we picked her up from the shelter. Now only 14 months old. We picked her up to be a companion to 'Eve' our other cat. She was never very sociable with her though. Spent most of her time hiding from us and Eve. Seems sad to think in her short life she never really lived, just existed in fear most of the time. There were some days though where she seemed to show affection and attachment to us. Far to few it seemed though. We gave her the most we could. Expensive premium brand foods, many toys to keep her entertained, and always kept her safe from the 'outside cats'.
The results of the tests are in tomorrow and that will determine what we need to do. Help here or give her a peaceful death. I guess it 'in the stars' now for her fate. |

| Alive? Yes I still am! |
[Jul. 5th, 2009|01:05 am] |
Wow, it's been a long while since I wrote anything here. I suppose I have my reasons in the end.
Been busy for the last while. Even after all this time I'm still not really used to Toronto. I must admit I do love this city in so very many ways. I can't imagine (at least for now) wanting to be anywhere else.
We have 2, count "em" two! cats now. 'Eve' and 'Spook' both females from the Toronto animal shelter. They get along well for the most part. Play fighting and such. Spook is of course a total coward and afraid of her own shadow. That's just here own personality I guess. Eve 'The fearless' is not bound by any self control of course and can usually be found in ALL the wrong places she should not be. Hanging off a high pillar on the roof, or inside the smallest crack you could imagine. Quite the handful I must say.
As for Me and Jay... We are still working together with our business and sales are in fact, on a steady increase year after year. Jay is still the 'strong arm' of the business of course. He is very talented and imaginative, not to mention has great people skills for dealing with the customers far better then I could.
I often have to remind myself how very lucky I am to have him as my mate. Despite my failings or shortcomings Jay is always there to help. There are times when I know I can be a bother and a strain on him. Frankly I love him more now then I did in the beginning. Especially in the furry community where so many people are all alone, and have no one. Jay is the best thing that happened to me in my entire life, bar none. My very own Dragon! I can't, nor won't imagine a world I live in where he's not with me. Obsessed? Maybe, heh heh heh.
Anyways, I will post some photo's of our two cats soon and try to keep this journal up-to-date as much as I can in the future.
See ya till later! |

Well, Me and Jay went down to the local animal shelter a few days ago, and we adopted a small brown kitten. Here are some photo's of 'Eve' the female kitten.
Even as I write this entry she is sitting on my lap in front of my laptop.

Long time since any update made. A few things have changed.
For starters we finally moved down south to Toronto. We found ourselves a three story town house, and we moved in October 3rd. We've been very busy with the move, and the Halloween rush of orders. We have yet had much of a chance to see anything here yet. From what I've seen so far this town kicks ass. Nothing like the slow paced life of Sudbury. Urban exploration here I come!!!
The townhouse is quite large, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, full laundry and even a small backyard. It's located in the former city of Scarborough. A residential area close to the TTC and Subway. Good clean area. This place will certainly help our business to grow. We now have space to work, and already received many local orders. We only ever received ONE LOCAL ORDER from Sudbury in the YEARS we were there. Big difference.
Yes, I had to leave some friends behind in Sudbury. But we all have the same internet in the end I suppose. The move was very sudden after all.
Only good things come from this move. I look forward to see what happens next.

| Fucked Yet Again... |
[Jun. 27th, 2008|03:58 pm] |
Once again FedEx has screwed us over in a big way. 
Here is what happened first...
SuperJay's LiveJournal
We called FedEx on WEDNESDAY and marked ALL the packages as RETURN. Three of them instead were delivered to the convention. So now thousands of dollars of our stuff is sitting at the dealers table waiting to be snatched by anyone. FedEx refuses to take any responsibility for their failures.
**sigh** 
The sheer incompetence of FedEx is beyond my wildest thoughts. We are calling the convention center now to attempt to return our items. So help me, if even one of the packages is missing...
This may possibly be the last time we ever bother with "AnthroCon" being the second time this sort of thing has happened with this particular convention.  |

| New Laptop! The best money can buy? |
[May. 13th, 2008|01:44 am] |
Here it is folks. Photo's of my shiny new laptop. The laptop to end all laptops. More raw processing power then all the computers in the world! (Before 1970)
Sure it my not have some of the "FANCY" features yours have, Like a battery, or hard drive, or even any sort of mouse. But it has a sturdy 32lbs case, and 8MB of memory. And while your all whining about security and crashing of Windows Vista, I have a more reliable DOS 6.22. Nifty ey?
How many laptops today can be used as a stool or table? Not many! But mine can!
Here are the photo's...

Of course I'm simply kidding. I in fact found this laptop on eBay selling for a an obscene amount of money a while back. Life must have sucked back then. Lugging that brick around. Heh heh heh. |

[Apr. 29th, 2008|01:05 am] |
FUCK CANADA!
So...
I'm a pipe smoker, and thanks to new laws in Ontario, it will soon be almost impossible for me to buy pipe tobacco. This also applies to cigarettes and cigars. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not my right to commit suicide. I mean seriously, it's getting to the point where a hard working honest man cannot buy pipe tobacco, cigars or cigarettes without fuckloads of government red tape.
We all know that anti-smokers are losers with too much free time on their hands. If I choose to die that's my fucking right, and the government can kiss my fucking hairy ass. There are plenty of fat dicks that shovel McDonalds and such into their fucking traps, and they cost the health care system just as much fucking money.
As of May 31st, all tobacco products cannot be seen in stores. You cannot ask for a price or brand. You cannot ask for the cheapest cigarettes. You cannot see cigars in humidors or even handle them before purchasing them. Walk in humidors must have frosted glass. You cannot touch any cigar to feel or smell it before buying it. You cannot handle any tobacco without paying for it first. All walls, glass cases, kiosks and displays must be covered and out of view. To purchase anything, you must point it out in a catalogue, and tell the clerk to get it. Then pay for it immediately.
Regular covers won't suffice either. Curtains or larger garage style covers aren't allowed. It's recommended to install drawers or 1' by 2' garage style cover segments and they can only be opened one at a time and immediately closed. |

| Loooooong Time No Update |
[Apr. 25th, 2008|10:38 pm] |
I've been very busy. I FINALLY got my laptop replacement from the FutureShop. (WORST STORE EVER) It's an "HP DV9850" with a heavily overclocked Nvidia 8600gs card. It's also sporting Blue-Ray and 4GB ram. In all a nice high-end laptop running Vista 64bit.
Me and Jay are also working to finish up inventory for our next convention we'll be attending. Anime North! So we have our work cut out for us at the moment.
Guess that's it. |

[Jan. 30th, 2008|07:25 pm] |
Ok, well, we have finally got the new site up after months of work. After a critical flaw was discovered that effected Internet Explorer users, we stayed up all night to debug it. At 7:00am we officially solved the issue, and the site went live to the public for the fist time. Feel free to take a look at it. Boasting and automated shipping calculator, and payment system. Newly designed PURE CSS navigation menu and updated graphics. Not to mention a host of new products we now have available.
http://www.northfur.ca
super_jay and I are very pleased with the outcome.
Here are just a few samples of new items we have created...

Well,
I spent the later afternoon and evening with super_jay. We talked about our plans a bit, Talked about the business, it's future and a few personal things. We also spent some time snuggling too!
We decided to do a makeup application of a Deer as well. Below are some of the photo's of the application...

Yawn...
I've been very busy the last while editing photo's for the new website going up shortly. It's been a lot of repetitive work. Hands are sore along with my neck. I'm sure it will be worth it though. I have been typically awake until about 5:00am or later. It's a big push to the finish line I suppose... |

So here's the scoop...
There is a WELL-KNOWN fanboy that has been sending us (NorthFur) e-mail after e-mail... He claims to have "Just Discovered" us and is interested in purchasing items, though he NEVER does. This guy has been booted from Yahoo Groups for such behavior. Frankly I think It's funny.
Here's a link to Jay's journal to see the e-mails...

Hmmm, Well now that things are seemingly on the mend with Jay I've been working non stop on the new website for [NorthFur]. I've built a fancy menu, and styled it an a bluish gray. I've also made a lot of little graphics and icons to get away from the old text based look the site had previously. We are now in the process of finishing up the online shopping cart that should make things much easier for customers...
I expect the site to be up in a few days or so. Yee Ha!
Once that is out of the way I'm thinking of sculpting a new item. I think I will stick with the Cetaceans like my Orca and Dolphin ones... Not sure what else there is to do in that category that will look good though. Any suggestions?
Blah, I'll figure something out soon enough. |

| No Sleep till dawn... |
[Dec. 9th, 2007|01:51 am] |
Still can't get much sleep now. My mind is running mad non stop. Seems nothing will calm it. The current events in my life are wrenching, but in the deepest part of my heart I still love Jay. I just can't help the way I feel. I miss him very much and I wish so much I could fix things, for both him and me. Jesus, I feel like I've lost everything worth living for. No point to get out of bed. If I could go back in time... Shit.... I would...
But, he hates me, and seemly always has. Crying don't help much either, but I sure do. If only he talked to me about how he really felt I could have responded, but he never gave me the chance. God this sucks... I want the happy times back, and the great times I had with Jay...
I also feel bad about the perceptions Jay has for me. He ACTUALLY thought I forgot his birthday, and despite the fact that I had to borrow money from my mother to buy him a gift I knew he would love, he thinks it was a "cover up" to hide supposedly that I had forgotten. I never did get a chance to give the gift to him... Ya, It was a bit late, but only cause of my funding source. If only he would give me 30 minutes to explain everything to him, without his hate and anger for me... If I had anything to say to Jay right now, It be that I'm sorry for everything. I just wish I had five more minutes with him...
Seem repetitive? Maybe, but it's my fucking journal, and I can write what I feel, and want to... |

| The Road Ahead... |
[Dec. 8th, 2007|09:44 pm] |
Well, I met with Jay at a local Tim Horton's today to tie up some more lose ends, we have generally reached an agreement on this whole issue. It's clear that as he continues forward I shall rebuild a new business on the same premise as the first. Theres a lot of work ahead of me and an extremely steep learning curve...
Through all of the recent events though, many things still run through my mind. I think the moment my heart actually broke and sank is when he told me that in fact through the year we lived together he never really liked me, nor loved me. Just an act he had put on. That moment is one I will never forget. I truly loved Jay with every cell in my heart, and still have some feelings for him left even now. I was planning to spend the rest of my day's with him, happy and peaceful. But to be told it was one sided, and he did not truly care was the worst moment I have experienced in my 27 years of life. I've been seeking websites help to help me deal with this. After all, I'm closing the door to a major chapter in my life. A time that will never come again. If I could go back there would be things that I would have done differently. But I can't change the past I suppose. If there was ever a more important time to be around friends it's now. Of course losing the relationship at the same time as the business makes it 100x worse then it would have been.
It's going to take a lot of time to get through this to the other side, but I suppose thats just the human experience... |

Broke down again just a few minutes ago. Being shafted at 3:00am will do that I guess. Not sure what I will do to make it on a budget of $ZERO. Bullshit maybe, but a harsh reality for me. I tried to go for a nice quite walk, but ended up sitting in the middle of the bush crying yet again. Over a full year of my life seemingly for nothing. My thoughts, my ideas now used to profit another, as I barley keep my head above water. Seems fair to me. If things could be fixed I would have it so, but seems that what I thought over the last year is not what others thought, nor what they told me. More false statements I suppose. I can only hope that in some way there is a universal justice dished out to those that require it, but wishful thinking never did anything for anyone as far as I know. Meh... Ya, I'm not perfect, and there are more then a few things I wish I could go back and change. Does me little good when others plug there ears thought.
Just can't catch a wink these days. Of course admittedly theres a LOT going on now. Ya I hate drama, but the main reason for my LJ account is to express and vent feelings. Thats what I do...
