The two pups in this article are victims of the most recent event in a string of poisonings in rural Wyoming, seemingly aimed at the wolf population, which are theoretical hazards to the livestock community as well as the big game hunting industry.
Authorities have found hot dogs and balls of meat stuffed with poison along the side of the road in eastern Wyoming and western Idaho, where Tim Sundles owns an ammunition store and hosts his webpage, Nature's Wolves. The website contains a similar method of poisoning wolves, as well as propaganda that contributes to his anti-wolf stance.

It is with regret that I anounce that Kate Worley, half of the team that brought us Omaha The Cat Dancer, lost her battle with cancer on 06Jun. There was info previously postad about this here.

News-record.com carries an interesting article about several sightings of a creature "fox sized, but with short brown hair and a long cat-like tail". So far, locals and experts from area zoos have been unable to identify the species of the unusual animal. The article includes a picture of the animal. Do any furries know what this elegant looking critter really is?

Here's a neat article that shows how close some breed are to wolves.

It also states that even though canine genes are almost totally consistant, the slight variation might allow folks with pups of mixed breeds to specifically know what breeds are in the "mix".

Hey Y'all!

Rocket City FurMeet is almost here and we are going to have SUCH a great time this year! Plans are falling into place and we've already started moving the cargo...

The Art Show will be something to see, the Furry Variety Show is poised to be an entertainment highlight, the 24 hr. Artists' Alley will be unique in the Con world, the Hospitality (FOOD, to you Northerners) will be plentiful and varied, the Traveling LAN show will be a haven of pixellated delight, and we will have FREE GLOW TOYS at the Dance on Saturday night!

We'll be tormenting Guests of Honor Jim Groat and Tyger Cowboy, forcing them to do obscene things for our amusement. The Jaguar will be tormenting us all for his own amusement. We will have a massive DESSERT right after Opening Ceremonies... and right before Dinner. :P

We have photo contests, an 18 Table Dealers' Den, my very own Special cappucino for Free - twice, Yotewah's Spirituality Haven - in it's own room this year, Oldfreek's returning PawPetting track, Kakiro's Game room, Videos galore, ... and did we mention the FOOD?

Visit http://www.rcfm.net today, and see what we're going to be doing this weekend. Don't you wish you were too?

:D

Further Confusion will be having a room party both Friday May 28th and Saturday May 29th at 7pm at BayCon in Room 259. Music, food and other cool stuff will abound, including a fursuit dance on Saturday on the back deck. We will have some changing space available.

BayCon takes place between May 28th though the 30th and is located at the San Jose Double Tree in San Jose (same hotel as Further Confusion) look for us to also have a fan-table at Baycon as well. If you're not already a Baycon member, there is a $20 night time badge that you will be available in order to attend the convention that night. That badge will also get you
into all the other Baycon parties and events that night as well as serve as a $20 discount on the $35 single day pass for BayCon on Saturday (or the next day if you come Saturday).

Come help us celebrate the official kickoff of Further Confusion 2005.
