🧸 🍼 🚜 🍭 🏈 🐳 🚒 🦖 🎠 🦕 🪁 🛸 🪣 🪀 ⚾️

I created a little character or "fursona" years ago named Bogie who's profile is below. He kinda started out as a fan character because I've always loved "Tails" from Sonic The Hedgehog. He eventually became much more complex than that. He reflects some of my own real-life quirks.

Currently:

I will be making changes to my page in the coming weeks so please bear with me. I JUST began dipping my toes into drawing again. Please be patient. There are more details to come.

I had stopped drawing years ago because of mental health issues.
I still watch this page from time to time and favorite others' art still. I've always had a soft spot for cute cartoon characters especially those that might be considered "underdogs" whom I could relate to.
This page, my artwork, and my character had been an attempt to fit in somewhere and make friends - which became increasingly more difficult later in life. I'm admittedly very naive when it comes to social media and the internet at large. I didn't grow up with the internet and all it entails.

I don't really consider myself a furry. I no longer participate in furry related activities. I don't own a fur-suit or go to conventions. I've attended a few conventions in the past.

Regrettably, I've had some rather unpleasant interactions transpire with certain people in the so-called "community." I made naive, hasty, complaisant (not complacent) choices that I regret but take personal responsibility for. At that moment in my life, some of these choices were made out of desperation for attention, human interaction and affection. I learned a painful but valuable lesson: NEVER doubt your own instinct when you feel like somebody/something is wrong, yucky, or unsafe - ESPECIALLY when relationships are developed online.

Needless to say, I have severed ties with these people without exception. It's a sad and unfortunate reality that I'm often reminded of when I visit my own FA page.

Consequently, I've worked my hardest to rectify, clarify and remove any doubt as to my original intentions, especially in regards to my remaining art and page moving forward.

I don't wish to participate in role-play, or role-play-like speech, though I have in the past... and I cringe now. Live and learn I guess.

I don't wish to communicate with minors. Please respect this.

I would like this page to be a safe place for NON-KINK, NON-SEXUAL "Babyfur," "Littlefur," or “Kidfur” related themes. Yes, contrary to popular belief, this DOES exist.

Despite all my shortcomings, Bogie is coming back. He hopes to be surrounded by friendship, warmth, color and light.

Thank you to all the good, wholesome, level-headed artists and friends I know. ❤️



About Bogie the Character

Bogie is spelled with one "O", not two, and is pronounced: Boh-ghee (bʊgi) , not Boog-ghee (bugi.)

History:
Bogie's a little orphan fox who was abandoned at birth, who lives at a special needs orphanage where he is often neglected. He sleeps on the floor or in a bottom drawer because there is no room for him anywhere else. Nobody knows his age nor where he came from. Doctors are perplexed at his peculiar condition which is in his traits below.

Traits:
-Bogie is very tiny and runty (just about 19” tall.)
-He has sparse, very curly, peachy-blond fur with a white tummy, muzzle, and tail-tip. His nose and other hairless parts are pink.
-He is albino and bright light often hurts his eyes.
-His eyes have pink irises with magenta pupils.
-He has a rare, unexplained chromosomal/genetic condition where he cannot age past the physical and mental stage of a toddler.
-He is in diapers, obviously
-Bogie is an amputee, missing his left paw, from running through a plate-glass window at the orphanage while unattended.
-He is a compulsive thumb-sucker, and holds onto solace objects such as his blankie or his grubby, grimy little teddy-bear he calls “Dubby”
-He often gets the hiccups ☺️
-Bogie doesn’t talk much – mostly points and says one word or two, because he stutters severely. He only talks at length with those he trusts.
-He is extremely shy and meek, but is very loving once he gets to know someone.
-He wanders off frequently, so he has jingle-bells or squeakers sewn into his socks or shoes so one can hear where he is.
-He’s easily distracted and accident prone.
-Bogie is extremely vulnerable, impressionable, and overly trusting. But he always hopes for the good in others. He’s a very loving, funny, often quiet little kiddo who is constantly seeking love and approval.
-Bogie longs to be able to express himself fully.
-He dreams of a day when he has someone to run to and who’d catch him at the bottom of the playground slide that is his little life. 🛝
