Fur Face Friday

 

Welcome to another edition of Fur Face Friday! You can revisit last week's fur faces here.

At the kristin bytes' abode, Bindi is thinking deep thoughts about stuff. She looks like she's posing for an Alex Colville mastepiece.

In case you're new here, favorites are chosen by one of the Snout Selectors (facw, k2b, Hannibal, and Best Coast), entirely on our own whimsy. WHIMSY! However, in the interest of solidarity, we try to select one dog picture and one cat picture (minimum!) each week. Other pets will also, of course, be considered. We love all your rats, bunnies, ferrets, and other furry, feathery, and finny pals. WE WILL NEVER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CUTE.

Simon hosted a small snail convention with his new friend Speedy. 

Blackjack made some alterations to It's Ginaaa's umbrellas.

Who can resist adorable babies? CTSenVy kept us up-to-date on rescue possums.

Hannibal shared more photos of her ridiculously cute fur nephew, Lewie. 

I know there was a photo of him last week but... look at him. Also, WHIMSY! 

But the world isn't all fluffy puppies and Summer babies. Here, the seesters contemplate the horror of vet visits whilst lounging on k2b's bed.

You know what to do! Show us your fur faces!

Friday Morning Open Thread

 

Happy Friday!

Thursday evening open thread

 

I'm back from Prince Edward County, with two pairs of cheap, freshwater pearl earrings ($20 each; how could I say no?)

We had a power outage on Tuesday, from about 3:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday, which wasn't a lot of fun, so we spent part of the day driving around, because the car had a/c. Even with the power on, their central a/c didn't really make it to the second floor, so I asked for a fan on the second night, which made sleeping more comfortable. 

We heard that a large truck took out 3 electricity poles, and we were trying to figure out how, and we theorized that it may have hit the middle pole, and when it went down, it pulled the ones on either side with it.

We saw some Canada Day fireworks last night at the edge of the little lake a block from where they live, and fireflies too. And we went to a little local parade.

It was 36 C/almost 97 F at the intersection when I got home (a dentistry office has the temp displayed outside) . The house was several degrees cooler, which isn't bad for almost 3 days without a/c (I turned it off when I left), and since I've had it running for about 3 hours, it's very comfortable here.

How is everybody else?

Blaurgh!Talk

Almost the end of the week - have we had enough? I know I have, but that was happening by... oh, Monday morning. Anyway, let the blaurgh out here. 

Thursday Morning Open Thread

 

Well Hopefully today is the last day before a long weekend for most USA located Balkers.

Wednesday morning open thread

It's Canada Day!

We had a power outage here in the County for hours yesterday (in the heatwave!), so I'm throwing this together right before I go to bed. The a/c is not working in the bedroom I'm supposed to sleep in, so I think I'm going to take a pillow and sleep downstairs in the living room. I don't even have a fan. So far I'm not having much of a good time!

How about everybody else?
