We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?
We add boarders all day Friday plus intermittently on Saturday and Sunday so visit frequently.
Do link to the Ark every week!
You can find out how to board the Friday Ark at the Arkive page.
Power Alert (09:40 PST): Our power has been off since 8PM PST 12/14. I am temporarily at an alternate Boarding station about 50 miles away. I’ll get caught up on updates over the next 1-2 hours and then that will be it until some time power comes back..
Update (11:15 PST): Sorry, no more updates until after power is back. All boarders will eventually get on!

Note for Haloscan Users:
Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.
Note for Typepad Users:
Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.

Friday Creature
Here are the birds I mentioned in yesterday’s post. They’re a couple of (very talkative) Yellow Bellied Sapsuckers, who are probably just here for the winter. More creatures are boarding over on the modulator’s ark today. I’ll start up the…

Lucky here, only a small branch down, power blinked long enough to reset the router, but otherwise I would have really though I blinked.

Santa Cats
Flickr provided the hats for my kitties; a little holiday treat. Just add a note (ho ho ho hat) to your flickr photo, and up pops a Santa hat! They have beards, too (ho ho ho beard) but my cats look odd with beards. Boo looks sweet, as usual; but Spike…

Oh, that wind! First it took our connection to the internets, then it took our power… and with it our electronically controlled gas heat and hot water. Thanks to all the possible beings whom one might thank for our new gas range, which will ligh…

Friday Cat Blogging No. 43: Pointless
This picture was actually taken around October 2004 when all we had was the camera phone. Heh. As far as digital cameras go, that’s all we have now! Anyway, Brian and I bought the cats this fancy sofa covered in nice, scratchable carpeting….
