Ace of Spades Pet Thread

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. We appreciate you stopping by today. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

My beloved Jack Jones a dog found on the street (the vet said it looked like he had lived there for 4 months). He helped me through some tough times and is now around 14 years old. Unfortunately he has lumps appearing and he won't be around much longer. As I tell Jack he is the bestest dog ever and he will always be in my heart. - Mark

Hopefully Mr. Jones will be around a few more years and that the lumps are just fatty tissue. We are happy to hear that you have both been there for each other. Thanks for sharing.

Finally sending a pic, exactly one year after we picked up Sparky from the Rescue Shelter. On the way home he chose my wife as his goddess, by peeing on her lap. Won't leave her side. He's made progress, but is still very timid. I have to believe some guy mistreated him; now that I'm his friend, I'm the only male he's not afraid of. He is very protective of the green pillow in the first shot.

Half Chihuahua, half ? (they guessed Yorky). His head is smooth, but his coat looks as if he's wearing the pelt of his defeated enemy. He thinks he's a little badass.

When I'm here at the computer, he comes up and stands up like a meercat. Always gets him a treat, which always gets him spinning around in enthusiasm. That's a good sign. When we first got him, he seemed uninterested in food. That changed completely. Now, when we're at dinner, he puts his paws on the side of my wife's chair, begging. When he gets something, he scoots under the chair to do the same on the other side, as if he were a different dog.

As a bonus, here's a shot of our late lamented Sally, proving that Bassets CAN look happy. - Eeyore

Hello Eeyore, nothing quite like a pooch marking its territory. Sparky has quite the lifestyle it sounds like. Sally looks adorable. Sorry to hear that she is gone.

These two raga muffins enjoying a beautiful evening on the back patio are Dozer and Emma. Dozer is a pit-mix and Emma is a Bichon-mix: both fell into our laps and hearts for different reasons. The big guy is a goof and completely attached to me while little girl is an equal opportunity snuggler.

And a little late for Halloween, but here is one of our regulars at the horse rescue.

Including legs, it’s slightly larger than the size of my palm.

MW in Texas

P.S. It was pleasure meeting several of you at the TX MoMe. Special thanks to Tonypete and Mrs. Tonypete, Jak Sucio, AltonJackson + 1, NaCly Dog, Iris, Nurse Ratched, Beserker, Sponge (and several others) for making a lurker feel included. Many thanks to the 3 wonderful hosts as well.

Hello MW sounds like the Texas MoMe was a success. Thanks for the interesting photos you sent. I favor the doggehs over the spider.

Lucy the cat-For your upcoming collection of moron pets in their Christmas Best! - Nurse Ratched

Quite the festive kitteh there Nurse. Lucy has been featured previously and she is a photogenic cat. Thanks for sharing.

Meet TC, short for TuxCat, or maybe Truncated Cat. He was a stray, and when I first met him he would alternate between crying for food and hissing to warn me not to get too close. Based on his behavior, I think he had been somebody's house cat who was either abandoned or got lost at a very young age. He had a terrible injury to his tail, so I had to capture him and take him to the vet. Part of his tail had to be amputated, so now he looks like a little doggy.
And he acts like one, too. Now he follows me around wherever I go, and can't get enough of being petted. I had a hard time getting a good picture of him because he he's always up around my ankles, so all you could see is his back and the top of his head. - Toad-O

TC is a handsome lad who definitely used one of his 9 lives to land in your world. Sounds like a dedicated and joyful pet. We appreciate you sharing with us.

This is Lady. She's two years old and after seven races decided she preferred a less active lifestyle. After retiring, she went to a prison as part of a program where inmates get to train dogs. Ten weeks later, she graduated and arrived at our house. And she's cluing in to what toys are. - NR Pax

What an interesting life this sweetheart has lived. It really looks like she lucked out landing in your life. She certainly appears to be well taken care of!

Hi Mis Hum,

You have featured Quinn and Morgan before. My wife unearthed this picture while getting ready to prepare Christmas cards. We have a nice picture of the four of us ready to go for the front of the card, and she wanted to put this one on the back side. Quinn and Morgan are litter mates, and we call them the twins. When they wag their tails, it is synchronized. When they sleep, they are most often in the same position. If one of them scratches their ear, the other one will scratch the same ear. It's a bit spooky, almost like they are sharing the same brain.

Regards to the pet horde! - TN Deplorable

Hi TN Deplorable. Those dogs certainly seem deplorable as well. I think that's a really neat photo. I hope it makes that Christmas card. Thanks for your submission.

Hello Misc, it’s Otto Zilch again.
We don’t ever see much of our Pet Morons at work, so I thought I’d share some shots of Dusty, our AOS-certified badass, and some of his prey. Like a lot of house cats, he hunts out of instinct rather than for necessary food, so he often brings us mice that are partially, but not completely used up. When that happens, we take the mice over to a nearby field so the neighborhood owls and hawks can have an easy meal.

Maybe we can have a AOS Pet Thread just for the hunters/killers. --Otto Zilch

Well Dusty certainly looks like a bad ass from the photos you submitted. Nice to see he has retained some of his original characteristics. Thanks for displaying his prowess.

Daisy, my son’s rescue who just had her one year anniversary in her forever home, does not seem pleased about the bath she just had. - sharon(willow’s apprentice)

Ahhh, the old sad face when bathed. At least you folks got her to sit still after a bath. On the bright side she tolerated the procedure well :) Thanks for submitting today.

Howdy. Levon has been on the pet thread before but here he is doing his imitation of a pretzel. What a smart boy! He has always figured that this was his chair. Who says dogs are color blind? It's a perfect fit! Cheers Tom

A Setter taking life easy. How adorable!! Looks like Levon requires a larger chair. Just a hint, Black Friday sales are coming up.

Great pets and spider everyone. We love to see and hear about your pets. The Horde's pets are so spoiled.

The Pet Thread is taking next Saturday November 20th off. Don't worry we will be back the following week and if you have something to submit. We are at petmorons at gmail dot com.

Have a good week.
