~KEVIN CHAN . . GRUMPY BERT / ‘FURRY FRIENDS WELCOME’

‘FATE, up against your will’

needing . . to lighten up ?
much !!

On A Personal note, very personal . . . . & it’s sad – so, be fore-warned.
2 young, carefree & the sweetest 15 yr. old boys you could ever know, & that I know from walking my dog, ever since she was a little 10 lb. puppy / last summer 2016 . . . got seriously hurt, one died and the other is fighting for his life after getting thrown over an 8 ft. high fence and tossed 30 ft. further . . by a hit & run young street thug speeding driver in Jersey yesterday, while they were bike riding.
I can barely contain my sadness.
they would always stop and pet my super friendly, now 90 lb. Akita, Zora & exclaim how big she was getting !!
Furry Friends . . also help you make human friends / and, help you to interface with ‘reality’, in a very special & very happy way.
Fate . . came down on these 2 boys, way too harsh, and way too soon.
I feel like I need to take a moment to be . . bio / human, & not just keep up the usual ‘keyboard’ banter / semi-impersonal art / computer-merged ‘dialog’, and . . share my feelings of sadness, and very human loss.
I want to remember them happy and laughing, & feel like they would like this . . gentle, funny, bittersweet thought, this pause of context, and ‘reach’ . . for greater humanity & meaning, in the wider & ongoing, always ongoing . . scheme of things.
with love & heavy hearts, from their giant panda / furry friend Zora, and her inconsolable minder.

‘FURRY FRIENDS WELCOME’ . . is down / SEPT 12 – OCT 15, 2017
but, you can still score a few unsold pieces . . .
in the: GRUMPY BERT . . ‘FURRY FRIENDS WELCOME’ / ONLINE STORE !!
