Cute Dog Pics – Dog Shaming

Every Monday I run cute dog pics, sometimes dog messes, sometimes dogs with kids, sometimes big dogs, sometimes dogs and water, dogs in costumes, etc.  This is my FIRST time posting “Dog Shaming” a new trend by owners on the Internet.  I don’t think it does much to change the dog behavior, but perhaps it has a cathartic effect on the owner to get their frustration on paper and picture.  Let me know if you would like to see more of these, or if you think I should not post dog shaming pictures.

$15 Million Construction Shut Down Over a Single Spider

$15 Million Construction Shut Down Over a Single Spider

The spider is only the second of its kind ever seen.  During construction, one was seen, and since it is considered an endangered species, the entire project was shut down.  What do you think?  Protect the spider or let the project continue?

A rare spider discovered at a construction site in San Antonio has shut down a $15 million project as federal and state officials consider ways to continue without disrupting the arachnid’s natural habitat.

The spider, identified as a Braken Bat Cave Meshweaver, is an endangered, non-venomous species that lives in caves, has no eyes and is virtually translucent. Josh Donat, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation, said the recent discovery is only the second time the species has been spotted in more than 30 years.

“This is the second individual spider that’s ever been found,” Donat told FOX 29. “It’s not like we found 1 of 5,000 individuals in a species. This is the second time this species has ever been seen by human eyes.  The last time it was seen was 32 years ago in 1980 in a little piece of property not far from here.”

Donat said the construction project near Highway 151 and Wiseman Road, which began in April, will be put on hold indefinitely as U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials and the Federal Highway Administration consider ways to proceed. The project became subject to the Endangered Species Act once the rare spider was discovered, he said.

The find could halt the project altogether, officials said, as residents who live in the North San Antonio Hills section say they’re frustrated with the situation.

“This will stop all the traffic and I don’t have to stand out in the front of my house every morning with my kids and make sure they don’t get run over before they catch the bus,” resident John Mellow told the website.

Cute Dogs in Costumes for your Monday

As usual, I have posted cute dog pictures to start off you Monday nicely.  This time they are dogs in costumes.  While I personally don’t dress up my own dogs as I find it humiliating for them, still, these are pretty cool.
