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.
Visit each border and come back regularly Friday-Sunday to visit new boarders. And do link to the Friday Ark whether you use trackbacks or not.
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 80th edition will be hosted this week by Music and Cats. There are more weekly cats at eatstuff’s Weekend Cat Blogging which has many participants who may not be familiar to Ark or Carnival participants.
Bird folks: Remember to submit your links to I and the Bird: A Blog Carnival for Bird Lovers. The 7th edition is up and hosted by the Bird Treatment Center, Anchorage, Alaska.
New for the spineless: Circus of the Spineless. A monthly celebration of Insects, Arachnids, Molluscs, Crustaceans, Worms and most anything else that wiggles. The first edition is up at Milk River Blog.
And, check out Laurence’s fine graphical analysis of Friday Ark boardings.

Note for Haloscan Users: Haloscan started (the end of July) 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 appears to be 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….

Box Fugue in G(ato) Minor
We still have a small stack of Banker’s Boxes in the living room, with stuff (old papers and records, mostly) we’ve been meaning to move to storage for weeks now. Naturally, Mister Gato thinks we put them there for him.

Doggies in Dreamland: I love these doggies. Primates are fun, too. Read about your clever cousins. Fishy Eggs? If you can no longer get the Caspian kind, then maybe it’s time to switch to Chattanooga Beluga… Or not. And I…

Nardo likes to sit on the table next to my chair and taunt me… He’ll sit there meatloafed, thinking about sitting in my lap, but Nardo’s not a lapcat. But if Piper wants to jump up and be a lapkitty,…

Look, Cats!
Ok, I admit it, I have not shamelessly whored myself to the Popular Blogging Community Phenomenon called Friday Cat Blogging (all genuflect Kevin Drum). So without further ado: Ok, that’s enough. Nothing further to see here. Move along, move along….
FINALLY, this week’s issue of Birds in the News is accessible: #29 features the lovely Barn Swalloow, Hirundo rustica, and a flock of other birds.

proof of my fun evening
…A wall cloud forming, and I could see the storm rotating. I was less than 50 yards from my house, which has a basement, should a tornado have actually spun up. And yes, part of the outflow from the cloud looks like a dragon or snake’s head…
It’s Friday
And I’ve finished my very first Powerpoint presentation, so it’s time for kitties. Petting, treats, the works.
And the Friday Ark, lots more kittycats there. Cats rule except for when Bazel is digging his claws in my scalp.
