Ace of Spades Pet Thread

pet thread 10 2 21 (2).jpg

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

A Little of This. A Little of That.

The next two links come from 'ette Sabrina Chase

When pets start drinking unusual amounts of water it usually means bad things. Not this time.

Poppy Anderson was concerned for her beloved cat, Brioche, when he wouldn’t stop drinking water.

The 18-year-old owner was worried her 10-year-old kitty was suffering from kidney failure – and even forked out £200 in vet fees to check up on him.

But Brioche’s excessive thirst was actually down to a far less serious, and pretty hilarious, reason.

The moggy had been munching on chilli flakes in the kitchen.

The True Story Of Balto, A Husky Who Helped Save An Entire Alaskan Town From Death

Learn how a "scrub dog" named Balto rose to the occasion and saved the town of Nome during the Great Race of Mercy in the winter of 1925.
In 1925, residents of the small town of Nome, Alaska faced a potentially fatal epidemic and very few options to save them from death. Multiple teams of sled dogs came to their rescue, and residents continue to celebrate one unlikely hero to this day.

Meet The PetMorons

gunnerdog.jpg

I lurk, and occasionally comment under the name "Inventive". Got a lot of dogs and cats and goats, but here's my dog.

His name is Gunner, we think GSD/Lab mutt but who knows... He endured three years of city living till he found his true calling as a farm dog. He keeps the homestead free of raccoons and possums (racked up quite the score over these last four years), hates vultures and geese, and puts up begrudgingly with the children.

Don't we all put up with children begrudgingly? Oh lighten up everyone, I'm kidding. Not only is he handsome, he's handy too. Thanks for your contribution today.

Farmcat is back to living on our patio after a monthlong disappearance. I guess he figured out our food is better. Below is Cutie the 7 year old dilute tortoiseshell supervising some renovations. Of course she has to lay where the paint spilled. - Cat Ass Trophy

We are happy to hear that your adventurer Farmcat is back. Looks like Cutie is a spoiled little kitteh. Thanks for sharing today.

My wife lets me share her dogs. I am, however, a third fiddle in Liath’s hierarchy of humans. Here she is ,as is common, despairing five minutes after mom leaves.

Thanks for the pet thread. A badly needed palate cleanser after a week of outrageousness. - Regards, Rider In The Sky

Well that certainly nice of your spousal unit to share the doggeh with you. Liath looks like she has a terribly uncomfortable life. Thanks for reaching out today.

Merlin 9 10 021 1416-brdr sml (1).jpg

Hi MisHum! We got Merlin after we lost our bestest boy in April. Merlin is now 5 mos and here's a studio portrait for Pet Thread consideration. He may be re-thinking being part of a photographer's household! - Karen

I'm just spitballing here, but.....He'll be fine with the photography if you leave the hats off. Adorable photo. Thank you for sharing today.

This is a photo of Heidi, whose person told me it was hard to get good pix of black dogs.
Photo was taken w an iPhone 11 Pro- a great camera with some telephone capabilities.
Miss Heidi was happy to pose after a taste of bacon.
She’s a sweet dog, about 6 yrs old and her person reports she’s a great travel companion.
Love the pets postings and thought you might give Miss Heidi some air time.

long time lurker

We are happy to give Miss Heidi some air time and say what a sweetie. It's amazing what a treat or two can do to get them to pose. Thanks for contributing today.

LastWatch (1).jpg

My constant companion over the last decade crossed over the Rainbow Bridge today. Lillie had been in the pet thread previously, with a picture of her lounging on the couch waiting for a belly rub. Attached is a photo I took this morning of her in her favorite place: at one of the dining room windows facing the street where she would stand watch and alert me to any squirrels, deliveries, or other dogs being walked. This was her last watch before I had to take her to the vet to see about treating a ruptured tumor. Sadly, the vet told me she wouldn't survive the surgery and I had to let her go. - bert

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It certainly looks like Lillie enjoyed a great life while she was with you. May your memories be sweet ones.
