Ace of Spades Pet Thread

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. We are glad you stopped by this afternoon. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

These kitteh-kats are pretty darn resourceful. (H/T ShainS)

What vets think you should know about your pets.

Hopefully the Betty White Challenge will really help animals.

This is a drawing I made of a neighbor’s rescue squirrel. A very sassy girl, name of ChiChi LaRue.
Sign me long time lurker.

I have signed you that. And thank you for your wonderful artistic rendering of that squirrel. You captured it perfectly I believe.

The following is a piece of art I had commissioned for the Fabulous Mrs. Mis. Hum's Christmas present from a Moron Artist.

Time for some art! Here's a 2021 Christmas commission. It's one of my favorites from last year. I love the glint in the eyes of the lower pup. There's some real mischief hiding in that furry noggin, as MisHum may well attest.

As a special to the Moron Horde, I'm taking $25 off portrait orders in January-February. Mention the Saturday Pet Thread when you order (there's a section for notes), and the final bill will be reduced by $25. Info at Sigmadog

-Steve (aka topdog)

I have 2 pieces done by Steve, they grab everyone's attention who sees them.

Schooling. After my line of Boxers petered out, my wife rescued a 15 yr old hairy Chihuahua named Anna and I was graced with a Lab-Something (vet thought Great Dane) named Jack. Here’s Anna teaching The Boyo how to behave. - John

What an awesome shot! It looks like Anna is teaching the youngster a few things about wrasslin'. Thanks so much for sharing today.

This is Gus aka "GusTopher” aka “FartFace”. 90+ lbs of slobberin’ love - Brigg

I don't know. He appears to be a refined creature who enjoys the comfort of furniture. He looks quite at home there. Thank you.

The first pic is of my previous foster and my obstinate English Bulldog/Pitbull mix. They are obviously posing for the cover art for their crappy Christian rock group album “Tripods”. When people asked how they lost their legs I simply responded: “I told them twice…”

The second pic is of my newest foster “Howard Johnson.” Howard and his sister “Hyatt” came to us courtesy of a neighboring county in Ohio, as they were placing a homeless woman in a shelter. She’d been staying in cheap hotels (hence the new dog names) with her dogs, until the money ran out. We promised her we would take them and find them good homes. Howard is 100 pounds of uncertainty and separation anxiety. We’re making slow but steady progress as he learns to trust me and adapt to his new surroundings. We’ve gone from growling and snarling to hugs and taking treats from my hand in a few short days. Soon we will move to training classes and adoption events. He’s a big sweetheart. - Lurker Rabidsquirrel.

Your first foster looks a lot like our youngest daughter's dog. I'm not sure how you and the other foster folks do it. I don't know if I could separate myself. Thank you for such amazing work.

Hi Mis Hum!

Dave in Fla here on an alternate email address.

We were in Oregon this weekend picking up our new puppy. Our last dog Star (my beloved collie) passed in November and we struggled over getting another dog. But fate stepped in and a litter of 13 golden retrievers was born on Thanksgiving Day.

This is Newton, he is 8 weeks old and is flying home with us to Florida.

Congrats on the new pup Dave!! He certainly looks like a keeper. Good luck with training. You have your work cut out. We appreciate learning about Newton.

This is Jake, trying take up more than his share of the bed. I post as Notsothoreau

It is amazing you allow them a small space and then the next thing you know you are being cast aside by the bed hogs. I know from experience. Jake looks quite content. Thanks for your contribution today.

Thanks to one and all for today's contributions and commentary. If you have something you wish to contribute you can here at petmorons at gmail dot com.

Have a great week!
