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….?

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….

Even educated fleas do it
Babe (above right with coon cat card look-alike) and Tiny (below lurking in the grass across the lawn) are shocked, shocked, at the behavior of the local squirrel population. In autumn a young male squirrel’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts
I wish I could get that darned Trackback to work.
Great Ark, as always, Steve. 🙂

Pugly loves him some plants. His favorite part of every walk is smelling every leaf within his nose’s reach.

FUZZY FRIDAY RANDOM TEN
Friday!
It’s Fuzzy Friday!
Fridays are fuzzy days, and not just because I wake up with the usual overnight growth of face-stubble. No, it’s because Friday is the day the aptly-named Friday Ark sets sail each week at the Modulator. This week …
Feline Friday: All dressed up…
Two on a Couch
Friday Face
It’s rare that I can get a decent close-up photo of Mycah without using a flash. The flash, of course, leads to green-eye, which just looks weird. Plus, I’m fairly sure it bugs the heck out of the cat. On those rare occasions when opportunity (e.g., th…
Spike
Spike came to me soon after I moved back to Missoula, in 1993, despite my determination to not get another cat until I was well settled in. But — a newspaper ad: free four-month old Manx. My favorite cat ever was half Manx; how could I resist? A quick…

Pouncer
Lately, Chocolate Chip has begun to hang out on the ledge at the top of the stairs…waiting to pounce on whomever walks by. So at night when his eyes are glowing, this is what we are greeted with when we start up the stairs.
See? Scary. Very s…
Friday Bee Blogging
Ever since the sedum first started to show the slightest bit of bloom they’ve been covered by these small bees.
