Something very exciting, and unexpected happened on Friday! Don't Hug Cacti posted some suits for sale. One of them being an adorable husky partial. I was in love! But I figured we could not afford it. Even though I was so in love with it, I had to let it go. But...about an hour later, Grave PMs me with a message that just says "Oops..." I asked what happened and then he sends me a screenshot of the purchase screen on DHC's website. No way! So I send him several messages asking if it's a joke and stuff and it wasn't, Grave bought the suit! Ahh! I ran down to the lunch room where he was and cried a little, hugged him and what not. He showed me the email to further confirm it was real. Then the hard part--the shipping wait.
Grave told me that the shipping speed was slow, so I figured it'd be a while until he arrived. I also said I needed more space in my fursuit room. We got a new wire shelf from someone at work, and luckily it's the exact same as my other one. And after work that day, I started reorganizing and cleaning. I sadly had to put a few things into storage that I didn't want to, but making more space was important. I spent 3 hours cleaning and reorganizing in there. But finally, it was done! I made room for the second large shelf, cleaned out a corner to put the small shelf in, and made more room in the closet. Hand paws were moved to the little shelf, and tails were put in empty space in the bigger shelves. Space on the head shelves was made for Juneau, and another upcoming suit. I'm very happy with how my fursuit room is now! Today, I was wiggling in anticipation for Juneau's arrival. With the fursuit room ready for him now, I was too! I asked Grave what tracking said, and he said not until Thursday. Dang, but it's alright. So I just starred at the photos from DHC in the meantime.
Lunch break came and I told Grave I wanted to eat outside at our car. It was a nice day. We get outside, and he opened the back hatch to the car, I turn around and there is a box. Wow, he was here! Grave was a sneaky wolf, Juneau had arrived that morning! I was so excited! He wanted me to open it there at lunch, but I wanted to wait until I was home so I could fully try it on. So I spent lunch break sitting near the box instead. The rest of the work day seemed to last forever, knowing a new suit was in the car. Finally work was over! But Grave and I really had to go shopping for groceries, so we did that, again, seemingly it lasted forever with Juneau waiting patiently in the car. We got home, put everything away, ate some dinner, then finally, it was time! I felt like I had waited an eternity!
Grave set up a camera and I began opening the box. The box was opened and there was so much fluff. They had kindly sent me a bunch of extra fur. I pulled it all out until I saw pieces. I looked at the feet first. Super cute and well built indoor feetpaws. Next was the arm sleeves. The cute blue bandanna he had on in the photos was also included. Then I pulled out the tail, a cute long curl. I looked away from the box and flipped the head over (Gotta save that for last!) and pulled the hand paws out. Really like the hand paws! They are nice! And then moment of truth. I pulled out the head and squealed in excitement. He was even cuter in person! I gave him a look over then tried on the head. It fits me very well! I sent a sneak peek to my FW Chat and a couple friends. Now, time to try it all on!

I tried on all the pieces, the arm sleeves fit quite well! Just a little long, as I have short arms haha. The feet were slightly big, but adding some foam would help. The hands fit very well, super comfy! The tail is easy to put on via belt, and then I slid on the head. Juneau was born! I ran over to Grave and gave him a big hug then I went into my fursuit room to look at him in the mirror. I loved him so much! I was bouncing around and so excited! I played around while looking in the mirror a bit then we took some debut photos!
I stayed in the suit for a little while longer, we took some video and fun photos and stuff before I was getting a little warm then I desuited to share the photos on twitter and chats. Everyone was very excited that I got a DHC! I am, too! I am happy with how he looks on me and such. Just very happy overall!
Thank you so much to my amazing husband, Grave for this wonderful gift! I can't wait to go on adventures with this cutie!
