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….?
You can find out how to board the Friday Ark at the Arkive page (construction underway).

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….

Kitchen patrol
At supper last night Baby gives Tuck an assist in cleaning his bowl. All eyes and ears, Baby (left) and Tiny apply the think system to get us to open the microwave, where kitty treats lie just beyond their reach.
I dunno…I think he looks kinda pissed.

Critter Cam returns:
http://rurality.blogspot.com/2006/09/critter-cam-returns.html
We had the driest recorded August since 1900, but we made up for the rain this week. Sasha had a two inch long splinter from a palm leaves on the ground. Dexter had the advantage that I do not let him off. Hence the “Rain and Pain” title for this weeks FNDB.

Yeah, he doesn’t t…

Snapshot Poem 13 September 02006
I left my dreams behind on the sweaty sheets. Let them evaporate in the smoky air. Fires are closing in on us. This air shuts me out. Shallow, painful –the breathing. Ashes in my mouth. I sat with my neighboron the deck, smoking cigarettes. She grieve…

Sorry for another tardy Friday Creature. It’s been hectic all week long and then I somehow managed to oversleep this morning, so I’ve been running late all day today. I guess you’ve probably figured out that this is a bunny….
