FRIDAY ARK
The passengers on this week’s Ark
Know something isn’t right.
The Captain scans the Manifest:
They are one kitty light.
The word is passed – Alas, alas!
That Tigger is no more.
He’s sailing on a ghostly Ark
That plies a Distant Shore.
This one seems to have gone missing:

As usual, excellent work!
I have two posts for the Ark.
For Invertebrates, Fighting Collembola.
And for Birds, Hiding Places.
Thanks!
For Sasha and Dexter the week had three phases: we went up to see the ducks noting the effect of heavy rain, we kept to the usual pattern, and then we were joined by the liberated Cooper.
Thanks for hosting another ark!
Friday Creature
This week’s creature is Dear Puppy, for two reasons: first, to celebrate the fact that she’s finally starting to show some improvement; and second, because I really haven’t been out of the house much since she got sick, so I…
Friday Pooch
Spotted this hairy fellow at Rock City back in October when all the family was in town. The lighting was good and I was determined to catch a Friday Creature that day, but the dog’s people kept out maneuvering…

We were surfing the blogs and the cables when a real-world caterwauling broke through the psychological haze of a Betty White PetMeds ad [We love ’em and at first thought the caterwauling was part of the commercial]. Dashing outside, we

Feline Not-quite-Friday: Kittens on paisley
Pale winter sunlight. Soft paisley flannel sheets. What’s a cat to do? Why, nap, of course. Add two more cats, and you get a little more action…
Lounge, doze, stretch… just another busy afternoon for the cats.
