Ace of Spades Pet Thread

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Thanks for stopping by. Until JJ Sefton comes along with the Hobby Thread kick back and relax. Enjoy the world of animals.

I know this is an older story. Somehow it got lost in my AoS clutter. What a good boy. Every time he asks for a T-R-E-A-T he should get one. (H/T CBD-He does have a soft heart)

Loyal Adopted Dog Takes Bullet in the Face to Protect Owners When Armed Robbers Break Into House

A dog in South Africa adopted from the SPCA into a loving forever home has repaid her owners a thousandfold after two armed robbers broke into their house and opened fire. The mixed breed, Kei, was shot in the face while ferociously protecting the family’s young lady.

I might be in the minority here. I don't have a problem with "Pinch Collars" (Prong Collars) and have used them with our last 2 dogs. And I wish I had known about them back in the 80s.

Anyone who’s had a rowdy animal could sympathize with wanting an easy solution to their bad behavior. We’ll admit that there are sometimes you feel the need to show them who’s the alpha. When dealing with a living, breathing animal, it’s important to question techniques that go beyond vocal admonition. But are prong collars the way to go?

Hi there; I thought I would show you my two criminals. Jagger the golden retriever and Finn the chesapeake bay retriever Thank you-Todd

No need to thank the Pet Thread. We are happy to profile your "criminals". Funny thing I found the Prong Collar story before I saw your photo. I see you believe they are useful for when out on walks. Thanks for sharing today.

Dear Misanthropic Humanitarian,

I present to you Rosie (Golden Retriever, 10 months) and Daisy (Cocker Spaniel, 5 months). They keep us busy, entertained and broke.--29Victor

If you are around 29Victor, I hope you explain to us how you got 2 puppies. From what I know about dogs, training is a tough thing as they play off one another. They certainly are cute!

Mis Hum,

This is my older cat (name withheld for OPSEC). As I write this, we have just learned that he probably has GI lymphoma. We are treating him with steroids. Although he's had chronic vomiting for several weeks and has been through a lot of poking and prodding to find out what's wrong, he seems to be hanging in there so far.

As you can see, he enjoys assembling IKEA furniture. He also serves as our household's (self appointed) Chief Grooming Enforcement Officer. He loves to sit with me most mornings while I drink my coffee, purring and sticking his nose in my breakfast.

This little fella been my best friend for more than 9 years and my faithful companion through a very dark time. I don't know how much more time we'll have together but I thank God for every moment He gives us. - screaming in digital

A very nice action shot there of your little buddy. Hopefully, the treatments are going well. He certainly looks like a pet who would bring joy into one's life. Thank you for your contribution today.

This is Barney an 8 year old male mix breed who's had it a bit rough. He has spent most of his life in a shelter after his owner fell ill several years ago. He's so damn sweet. He was very shy with me at first, would not even let me pet him. But once I parked myself on the couch he was right there giving me doggie kisses. No known health issues a very sweet boy!

Our dear sweet Molly the long haired chihuahua finally got adopted and we are very happy for her!!

As always thank you MisHum for featuring our sweet pups. - Jewells

No need to thank me Jewells. I'm sure there are a number of us say "Thank you" for giving aid to these abandoned critters. Once again, we are glad we could show your latest projects.

Thank you all for sharing with us today. There weren't a lot of pets but the ones here certainly are "Keepers".

If you have something pet/animal related you would like to share you can reach us at petmorons at gmail dot com.

Have a great week!
