Cats, Dogs, Spiders and ? every Friday.
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 will add your post to the list if you do one of the following:
- Leave a comment or trackback to this post,
- Use the Carnival Submission Form,
- Email Modulator or
- Our extensive staff finds it during our weekly search of the web
Of course, if our staff goes on strike then we will link only those posts someone tells us about.
Note: Our staff will be with poor or no access from about mid-day Friday through the weekend. Comments, trackbacks and emails received by late morning will get on the main passenger list Friday. Later arrivals may not get boarded until Sunday night or Monday. It is doubtful that we will have any time this week to board folks who do not tell us they are ready.
So, do check through the trackbacks and comments for boarders you haven’t visited yet!
Note for Haloscan Users: Starting last week Haloscan started rejecting trackbacks if they were submitted “too rapidly” by the same host. I don’t know what the timer is but it is long enough so that it was very difficult to ping everyone that is using Haloscan for trackbacks. I’m sure that they are doing this to try to hold back the tide of trackback spam but it makes the service pretty useless for carnival type posts. Perhaps you can contact them and urge some different solution. Update: Typepad is now doing the same thing. Everytime I update the Ark it appears the timers are reset and the long list of MT autogenerated pings fail. Yecchhhh….
Dog folks: remember to submit your links to the Carnival of the Dogs hosted by Mickey’s Musings.
Cat folks: remember to submit your links to the Carnival of the Cats which goes up every Sunday and the 72nd edition will be hosted this week by the founder This Blog is Full of Crap in conjunction with the Blogathon.
Bird folks: Remember to submit your links to I and the Bird: A Blog Carnival for Bird Lovers which is hosted this week by B and B.
And, check out Laurence’s fine graphical analysis of Friday Ark boardings.
Arkive editions of the Friday Ark.
UPDATE 8/5 6:31 PM GMT: Staff has abandoned ship for today and will catch up Sunday night or Monday.
UPDATE 8/8 6:52 AM GMT: Staff has returned and after some sleep time will begin boarding waiting passengers.

MORRIS IS A SLEEPY CAT
Have you been at places with cat names? I wonder if Morris will enjoy Sleepy Cat Mountain in Colorado? I have to visit Denver on my next trip to the United States of America… For more animal pictures, check out Friday Ark at the Modulator.

Friday Diamondblogging: Joys and Their Toys — Balls
Next up in the special “Joys and Their Toys” series of Friday Diamondblogging is her collection of assorted balls.
I have to admit Diamond was a bit preoccupied with a non-ball toy when I did this shoot, so she’s a little dejected-l…
Frisky vs. The Flag
The Blogathon Campaign remains ahead of all the others with $2215.00. As I’ve said a few times before, I try to make a habit of playing with Frisky after every meal because that was his playtime with Edloe. So, I’ll…
Sunshine
Jacqueline Update
Jacqueline is doing well and there are seemingly no ill effects from her fall last weekend. In fact, here she is going toe to toe with Angel. It’s good to have things back to normal….
Friday Cat Play and Guard
This little black cat is hyper! He plays with my toys, eats my food, chases me around and I’ve tried to teach him that this is my house. So therefore, I’m guarding the upstairs and preventing him from coming up…
Cat Pictures
I’ve taken advantage of his silliness enough for awhile. So here is a picture of chocolate chip, just being, well,…

Cat Blog Friday
Sadie, of Reinway Court, Pasadena, CA. She is the owner of Kris, our gracious host for Reinstock ’05. She jumped up on the wall as I took this image, creating the spooky effect. Posted for the Friday Ark.
Visit this week’s issue of Birds in the News for a lovely picture of an American robin (how many of you have really looked at a robin?) and another picture of the endangered cactus ferruginous pygmy owl (yes, owls CAN be that small!)

Bonus Mid-Week Friday Creature!
Because I can’t believe how quickly these mourning dove nestlings are growing! I took this photo yesterday (compare to a shot taken just this past Thursday: click here, or scroll down to last Friday) and I imagine by the end…
Friday Creature
I think this is a wild turkey, but maybe someone out there can tell me for sure. I took the photo a few weeks ago in my aunt’s backyard in Wheeling, WV. She’s got an extensive array of birdfeeders behind…

Feline Friday: Cat… Cat! Cat!
Each time that our 21-month-old nephew Reed saw Lyra this week, he’d repeat the word “cat” several times over. That one word, from his lips, seemed to convey a range of thoughts and emotions: excitement (look! a cat!), questioning (where is the cat?), …

more babies at the oubliette
This time, it’s not an avian, a feline, or a homonid, but an ichthian. That’s right, the small school of 6 White Cloud Mountain Minnows I purchased a few weeks ago have spawned, and the eggs have hatched…
Friday Cat Blogging
As is probably obvious from the absence of posts, I am a bit less well than usual. This means that Spike has more opportunity to insist on attention, as I am not otherwise occupied. And never fear, Boo gets her share. In recent cat news, The Modulator…

Friday Feak Blogging (and the Pooch…)!
Nuthin’ like an afternoon nap…. One’s on one side of me, one’s on the other. They’re so cute when they’re sleeping…. The Modulator is having technical difficulties….good thing they aren’t doing the Blogathon…….
Friday Critters
It’s Friday and I was mucking around in themes and alsmost forgot the Ark.
And don’t forget real important, tomorrow, Lair is blogging in the Blogathon in memory of Edloe for the Cat Society of Israel with the grand finale the Carnival …

Yellowbird is Back!!
This is really exciting to me. As I mentioned in my other post, although most of the lovebirds we saw were bright green, a few years ago they were suddenly joined by one bright yellow bird. The following year, we

Temptation in the garden
Some flora and fauna are easier to identify than others. The white neckband of this little fellow that Tiny discovered on the terrace this morning was a dead giveaway: Ringneck Snake (Diadophis punctatus), which turns out to be common and
Feline Friday
Well, it’s been about two weeks since Griffin joined our family but it sure didn’t take that long for Hobbes to get used to his new buddy. It took about 24 hours of hissing and swatting before they began to play like they’ve known eachother for years…
Correction. The tiny Ringneck Snake is fine. I didn’t let the kitties have their way and released it back near the woodpile when the photo session was done. 🙂
