Guys - you have to check this set out. This is genuinly the most important post ive made in probably years 😅
@taurusdesign has been a friend of mine for a while now, and has truly got a special place in my heart. They're a very loving and kind person, and a pleasure to work with. There have been quite a few times we've worked together and i gave them ideas for sets to bring to life - and they always work to bring those ideas to life with brilliant execution. They are such an amazing cc creator that even tho i don't sub to ANY paid creators - i sub to theirs because they're that special to me. Y'all know i don't support paid cc at all so that tells you how unique and amazing they are 🤣
That being said, they genuinly have done something that in my eyes can never be topped by any cc creator ever, and will hold the best and biggest spotlight in my heart - They made a set dedicated to my most special boy Mune.
Ok so this next part is a little backstory and you can totally skip it i don't mind at all!
Basically, i have had my baby Mune since he was literally minutes old. My partner at the time was living with his sister, and her dog had puppies. I knew before the puppies were born that i wanted one, but when they did finally arrive, her dog became very aggressive and was unable to care for them. This left his sister with the hard decision to surrender the pups - except for mune. I took on the responsibility of that baby, even before i truly understood what that meant 😅 Every 2 hours i was bottle feeding and warming, responding to any tiny cry cause i was so worried for him. He was truly my baby from the get-go, and he meant the world to me. Of course, this beginning meant that as time went on - we were inseparable. He was my soul dog 1000%. We did everything together all the time, and truly were best friends. The first toy i ever bought him (pictured above) was a Snee 🤣 Basically a bee, that was super long and looked like a snake and a bee mixed together. This thing was there from the very beginning, day 1 - and it was his most favorite toy ever. This baby loved his toys, and he had SO MANY 🤣 In the end i belive he had over 200, and he loved each and every one. He would swap them between his toy boxes, some were meant for cuddling, some were meant to destroy at any and all cost, and some were meant to just be brought to you in a time of need (cause of course if they made him happy, you couldn't be sad if you had one). He had such a huge personality, and he loved everyone and everything. He was my big goofy boy, and he had but 2 braincells most days 🤣 Perfect example story of this, one time my girlfriend put a bird feeder outside our living room window, right? Simple, innocent little bird feeder. Well, apparently the local squirrels took that as an open buffet invitation. So we had squirrels on it constantly, right in front of the window - and Mune stayed mad. He would always bark at them or growl, he really hated them. Well, one day i guess a squirrel got too close, or was taunting him, or something - cause he literally barked and threw a fit, and then LAUNCHED HIMSELF OVER THE COUCH AND THROUGH THE DAMN WINDOW. The glass shattered (he was fine), he chased the squirrel down the block and everything. Then, he came home, and sat at the front door until we got home - like nothing had happened. Had to watch it back on the ring camera to see what had even gone down, it was insane. Needless to say, we moved the bird feeder, got blinds to put over that window, and bought him the squirrel toy that Taurus has lovingly recreated in this beautiful set.
Mune was a wonderful boy, and he was truly the best till the end. Sadly not long after he turned a year old we found a small lump on his throat, and took him to get it checked out. After alot of tests, the vet explained it was a mostly small cancerous tumor that was assumed slow growing, but inoperable. It was wrapped around basically everything important, airway, food tubes, veins and muscle. There was a surgery that could fix it, but it was only a 20-30% chance of survival. We ended up deciding to just let him live out his days as our best boy, and we'd deal with it when it got bad. And i think we picked right, as he got 5 more amazing years! However, when he was around 6 + 1/2, he started having trouble eating, and when he slept it was starting to clearly be hard for him to breathe right. We had to make the hardest decision i have ever had to make, and have him put down before his quality of life got to the point of suffering.
To this day, i think of him constantly. he was a huge part of my life, and i want to share him with everyone as much as i can. That's where Taurus comes in.
I reached out to Taurus to talk about possibly including some toys Mune had in any upcoming set, as it was getting close to a year since he had gained his halo. But Taurus went our of their way to make a special set dedicated to my sweet boy. We talked about the toys Mune loved, the kind of beds he liked, food bowls, everything. This set is literally based on things that belonged to my baby, and things that i hold the dearest to my heart. I still have the Snee, Mort, Milton, Sammy, Philmore, and Mune's mortal enemy - his most beloved sloth. Each one has a backstory, photos, countless funny stories about him and them, and each one holds a dear spot in my heart as his favorite toys. I kept them all because they were so dearly loved by him - and Taurus has memorialized each one in a game that truly has changed meaning for me.
I know it sounds silly, and it probably is - but Taurus gave me the ability to play with Mune and his favorite toys in my game, whenever im feeling sad or missing him. They truly are a wonderful friend, and they went out of their way to make this set to help me heal even just a little.
I highly encourage you, hell i'd beg you to please go support Taurus. This person actually deserves the support on their Patreon, and yall know i never say to sub to anyone. I'm genuinely the biggest supporter of wait for it to be free or just rip it - but Taurus deserves the support for this set. If i could, i'd personally give a huge support following to them, but sadly i can't afford it. The best i can do is plead with all of you that if you are able to spare it this month - please show them all the support and love you can. They really are worth it.
Anyway - i've pleaded my case and shared my story, so if this made you feel like you want to get to know Mune too please go check out his dedicated set - Fur-tastic Finds by Taurus.
