We all take a chance when we walk out our front door of the unexpected. Kinda like the advice Bilbo Baggins gives Frodo.
“It’s a dangerous business ... going out of your door ... if you don’t keep your feet, there is no telling where you might be swept off to.”
Truer words were never spoken. Since the boys' birthdays are a week and two days apart, we decided to celebrate the Saturday in between. They invited a couple of their good buds for pizza, bowling and fun. Little did we know as we were being escorted to our table/lane, there would be a group of Furries directly across from of us.
The Hubs had to ask if they were mascots or Furries and were they celebrating a birthday. They were Furries and no, they were not celebrating a birthday. They get together monthly to bowl. There was one girl that came as far as Commerce.
This was my first experience with Furries, I mean I had heard of them. They seemed a happy, friendly bunch really. Sorta reminded me of Scarborough Faire folks, but without all the "Huzzahs!" They even suggested we take a picture of them with the boys, since it was their birthday party.
Now if you were to tell me that I'd be running into a group of Furries at a bowling alley, I'd have rolled my eyes and given you a whatevs. Seriously, never in a thousand years would I have thought I'd be in contact with Furries outside the Internet, but I kept my feet, went with the flow and a good time was had by all.
