Dear Papabear,

I need some advice on helping a family member who lost 2 loved ones recently—well the family member is my aunt. She just lost her aunt & uncle 1 week apart from each other & she seems really up set & depressed. I want to help her, but I don’t know how I can help her. 

Thank You,

Specs Wolf

Dear Specs,

Papabear extends his sympathies to you and your family on your recent loss. It is never easy when a family member or other loved one passes. The older we get, the more losses we experience, too, and often the loss of someone one generation ahead of us, or the same generation, makes us weep not only for the person who has died but also for what feels like the loss of our past, the loss of a little bit of ourselves. This reminds us that we are growing older, which can be depressing.

One of Papabear’s beliefs is that the difference between being old and being young isn’t a matter of years, but rather, it is the difference between looking ahead and looking back. When we are young, we look forward to the future because so much of it lies ahead of us; when we get older and have many years of memories behind us, we get in the habit of looking behind more and more. The secret to staying young and optimistic, then, is to train our visions toward what is ahead of us and, too, what is with us right now in the present.

Specs, Papabear is very touched by your concern for your aunt. The best thing you can do for her right now is show her that, although she has lost two people dear to her, she has a lot to be happy about right now. She has you! And, I’m sure, other family and friends who care about her. Make sure that she is surrounded as much as possible by loving friends and family.

This doesn’t mean that she should forget her aunt and uncle. Another thing you can do is to help her celebrate their lives. You might be familiar with the tradition of the Irish wake, which is just so wonderful to this bear’s mind. What they do, instead of moaning and moping about, is celebrate the life of the dear departed with food, drink, song, and dance. You can, in any way you feel is suitable, help your aunt celebrate the lives of the ones she loved. Perhaps she can donate to a charity in the name of one of those who has passed, or plant a tree in loving memory to each and look forward to watching that tree grow and prosper. Whatever it is, just being with her and showing you care will be a great help.

Thank you for caring,

Papabear

So it looks like we have a new furry idea on the way (well another one). This comic brings a new type of animation and well drawn murry purry furries . Per the site and according to Flayrah.com we will get “Subject #9″ this fall. With this being said from the studio, “ An entirely new way to experience dynamic and engrossing stories for free. [...] Unique layouts, animations, and visual effects, in regularly updated episodes.” The studio making this featured comic is NARR8 which is a well-funded studio. So the animations and upcoming episodes (comics) will be debuted with pure beauty. Check out the clip above and the site HERE.

One of my freinds recently started wearing one. So i wanted to just wanted to know.

EDIT: Wow guys, thanks for all the feedback! You people are awesome!

Author: GreenReaper Furs may enjoy the recently-announced mobile “motion comic” Subject #9, judging by its preview video. [tip: Lux/WeFurries] NARR8 has its own introductory video, where it’s breathlessly described as: An entirely new way to experience dynamic and engrossing stories for free. [...] Unique layouts, animations, and visual effects, in regularly-updated episodes. Essentially, they’re creating original [...]

I told my friends I'm a furry and they are totally cool with it. I'm so happy I just wanted to let you guys know!

I thought this was cute! http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/sad-mouse/1421391

First, you must take over their brains! These ears are freaking awesome, you can wiggle with your emotions! I got to try on a pair at SDCC this year. 

They are new ears for Necomimi, but they are way cuter than the cat ears. Super future. I'm definitely contributing to their Kickstarter, which has some pretty nifty rewards, it's definitely a deal, and the girl I met at SDCC was nice.

They totally got Far East Movement! Ha. That's one way to start the furry revolution.

Author: Fred In August 2011, Flayrah published a favorable review of The Saga of Rex by animator Michel Gagné. The Saga of Rex is a surrealistic whimsical science fiction tale that is really just an excuse for Gagné’s incredible imaginative graphics. The plot, if you want to call it that, is that the Guardian-Shepherd of [...]

I am looking for one in the $0-$25 range, a full one would be good.

I don't have a PayPal, because they are stupid and force me to use my bank account which I do not want to attach to that for reasons (Can you say, Steam Sales?) , but I do have a credit card and other payment options.

Put a link to your FA, DA or some of your works in the comments, and I will get back to you.

Edit: Okay maybe PayPal accepted my card, so it might work.

Edit 2: I wrote this really fast obviously, because fursona=/= commission. I would like you to draw me MY fursona which I have.
