Friday Creature
This week’s creature is a lizard I’ve featured before. He (she?) spends most of the year in my sister-in-law’s elementary school classroom and summers at the ole homestead. We stopped in to visit at the end of June and found…
Sasha and Dexter: We Can Hear You. Walking around the bush they catch the sounds of dogs barking, including Jock, among other sounds.
Wow! This is my first time heer!
The link is not working so I’ll put my post here:
I’m learning how to stand up using just my back feet!

Just 2 things:

You say tomato, I say … STOP!

Stop, thief!
For more anima…

Hi — thanks for mentioning my post about the Alligator lizard; fortunately (or not fortunately), you listed the URL for a post about water birds I was most proud of, usually getting only a blur of wings or some such when I’m trying my best. However, the alligator lizard can be found here.
Finally Friday
I came over to Mog’s today and she was nice fed me Temptations. Yummm! I ate them all up. Meowza came out after and we hung out together.
Check it out, Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos has a new home and the festival will be there this Sunday. B…
I’m running late this week. I have two posts for the Ark:
For Birds, Bedtime ritual, interrupted (house finch).
And in Invertebrates, Hallowe’en bugs (Ladybug larva and pupae).
Thanks!
Feline Friday: Once a softie
He looks like a big softie, doesn’t he? And for most of his life, Sasha has acted pretty much the way he looks: soft, sweet, easygoing. While we don’t know whether he really has the Maine Coon forebears that his appearance suggests, he has…
