Fur Face Friday
Hello and welcome to Fur Face Friday. Last week we looked for signs of spring. This week our critters are getting a little fresh.

Thursday evening open thread
We had a late program at work this evening, so I'm doing this at 10:15 p.m. on Wednesday night, so all I'm giving you is an open thread; no song and dance, because I'm beat.

Wednesday Morning Open Thread--Gooooood morninngg!
Good morning and Happy Wednesday, everyone! I do believe I missed more than one Wednesday morning post in a row...AGAIN. I'm pretty sure this means the time has come for me to officially take a hiatus. I have been doing the Wednesday morning posts for nine years now and it seems with a super busy job, grad school, and single parenting teenagers, I just cannot keep up any longer :( I hope everyone is well and I hope someone can pick up the torch for now 🙏

Monday 🌒 Corkscrew Logic OT - It's the 27th of March
It's Monday again. Whatcha thinkin' about? Something deep or just winging it?
I'm thinking about the mighty winged corkscrew. How the wing positions remind me of scenes from film.

The Photo Gallery
It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.
They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

Fur Face Friday
It's the start of a new season. Last week's fur faces were still braving the winter chill. But here are six signs that Spring is truly here in the Northern Hemisphere.

Monday 🌘 Mad as a March Hare OT
"The March Hare will be much the most interesting, and perhaps as this is May it won't be raving mad – at least not so mad as it was in March." ~ Alice, not ten feet tall at the moment, about to tea with the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the Dormouse. Spoiler: They're all mad all the time, except for Dormouse, who's only mad when awake. BTV mascot nomination forthcoming. Any seconds for Dormouse?

Sunday evening open thread
I don't see an open thread posted, so I'm throwing one up quickly.
I heard something in the kitchen ceiling around 5:00 and I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DEAL WITH IT since between sick pets, sick me and other house emergencies (tree!), I can't really take more time off work.

Fur Face Friday!
Greetings all! It's a little hard keeping track of the days, but I'm fairly convinced today is Friday, so let's have some Fur Faces!
Last week I was travelling to the exotic lands of Canada, but leahaven collected many fine pets, so let's look at best!
First up, we have Samantha helping KidSmacks3 test out his new phone:

I did try to do the thing to make the video full-sized, but obviously did something wrong, so this is going to appear as the itty-bitty little square video, but oh well!
You know that this exactly what was going through this dog's mind!
