Ace of Spades Pet Thread

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

Hi Mis. Hum.

Our two traveling companions, Hudson (2 year old Mastiff / 110 lbs.) and Beorn (8 year old Bernese Mtn. Dog / 125 lbs.). We recently returned from a week-long, five state road trip with these guys. They love the road. Also, a recent portrait of Beorn. -Steve in Spokane

Hi Ace of Spades Pet Thread,

Here are some photos of my 14 year old cat Peter (also known as Trouble or my animate Halloween decoration). I’ve had him since he was three days old when I rescued Peter, his mommy and 4 littermates from single digit temperatures.
He has led a very dramatic life.
He made the TV news when he survived being shot between the eyes with an arrow by an evil neighbor.
The vet removed the arrow and Peter was fine except for an enlarged iris as you can see in the photo.
He befriends squirrels and plays with them in the yard.
Last summer he developed crystals in his bladder and ended up in the ICU of the big city/major university veterinary hospital. Two operations, three weeks in the Kitty ICU and many thousands of dollars later, Peter was home, taking a sunbath at the front door when his squirrel friend stopped by to see where Peter had been. I imagine the squirrel is saying “Hi Peter, where have you been? You smell funny. (you can see Peter’s paws and belly are still shaved from the IV)

If you say kiss-kiss, Peter will give you a kiss.

He terrorizes the chihuahua I dog-sit by pretending to give her a kiss, but instead smacks her with his big paw. (he is three times heavier than the dog)
He is a very chatty cat.

He is loved very much.

Another time I will send photos of Peter’s littermate Gilbert the Diabetic Cat.
Thank you, Barbara

Well it certainly sounds as if Peter has 9 lives and has used at least two of them. He's in good hands with you Barbara. We certainly can tell he is well loved. Thanks for sharing today.

Why does an 18 pound dog tear down a wood pile? Snake. Johnny

I wish you would have submitted a photo of the 18 pound trooper that did this to your wood pile. Hope you are around today and add some more information in the comments.

Our newest addition to Shep's is Charlie a 10 year old husky lab mix. He's a big guy at 110 pounds and needs to lose weight! He's on thyroid medicine and pain pills for his joints. He's super mellow and loveable! When he runs he runs like a bear! LOL. We love him! - Jewells

It sounds like you have your hands full with Charlie. Good luck with his weight loss and finding a new forever home for him.

A couple pictures of my cat Oblio; she's been feature before. She was my daughter's cat - until a job change - more travel - required a new home. I've always been a dog person, but the little fuzzface wormed her way into my heart to become the sweetest, prettiest, most spoiled cat in the world. During the night, she takes the overwatch to guard me while I sleep. She wakes me promptly at 6AM for breakfast.

Several years ago she was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Always fatal, no cure, all you can do is delay the inevitable. I will do what is necessary to give her as good a quality of live for as long as possible before sending her over the Rainbow Bridge. Treatment has been working: stable kidney function for now. She still acts like a goofy kitten occasionally. Regards, Butch.

Oh my, I can see how this little cuttie wiggled her way into your heart. Best wishes on fighting off the kidney disease. We appreciate your contribution today.

Thanks to you all who submitted links or pet stories. If you have something animal/pet related you would like to submit, you can reach us here at petmorons at gmail dot com.

Next Saturday, same pet time, same pet channel.

Have a great week!
