Ace of Spades Pet Thread, June 18![]() What would Father's Day Weekend be without a gift from Kitty? (Photos Courtesy Misanthropic Humanitarian)
Thanks for stopping by. Ask someone for a treat, kick back and enjoy the world of animals. Reminder: For current events and politics, the Thread before the Gardening Thread (a couple of threads below) is almost always an Open Thread. We also love our dogs, even on holidays: Yesterday, I met our neighbor's new dog. Not the neighbor with the pit bull who had 11 puppies and comes over for peanut butter sandwiches. This is a different neighbor. Their 6 month old pup, black and white, looks a lot like a pit bull, but she was afraid of me when I approached. She was on leash. As I talked to the neighbor and he reassured her, she calmed down. Then she wanted to jump on me. I don't think she knows many commands yet. So I have been thinking about pet introductions, both to people and to other animals. What has worked for you and what hasn't? Do you agree with the recommendations in this video about introducing a cocker spaniel to a cat?
![]() ![]() Long time lurker. Thought I'd send these pics of our two cats. The shorthair is Tiger. Fluffy kitteh is her boy, Ghost. They don't look very feral. ![]() A sad update from May 21 from Our Country is Screwed: K.T. Here's part of the poem. Dog lovers may want to get the book: On Judgement Day Saint Peter stands, A list of virtues in his hands. As all the souls in silence wait To see who'll pass through heaven's gate. "You'll enter first," he says, "if you Can swear your heart was always true. And you were constant to the end, A steadfast, loyal, devoted friend. Never spiteful, never mean, Unchanging through good times and lean. With no desire but this: to be Allowed to love eternally. . . . Theology aside, it wouldn't hurt to evaluate whether we could more closely follow the examples set by our beloved dogs. How you must miss Fenway something terrible. ![]() Hi, I've been lurking on Ace of Spades since the 2000's and never post. Have always enjoyed your pet threads. My Golden Retriever passed away suddenly this week. He was 11 years old. His name was Jake. He had to have been one of the sweetest creatures God ever made. He died at the vet's office. When I took him to the vet, he didn't seem too ill. The next day, the vet called me and told me to hurry over because he was crashing. I left right away but didn't get there in time. So he died surrounded by strangers and I didn't get to say goodbye to him. My heart is broken and I can't stop crying. When I got him, I knew he would go before me, but I didn't know it would feel like a family member died. You can post his picture if you like. This picture is from one of our trips to the park. He aways had a smile. Sorry to dump on you. So sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful dog. A lot of us have an idea what it is like. ![]() From Rolf, the above photo of a future wool hat. Not mine, just a neighbor's lamb, and future provider of wool hats. Name of Sherman. Southdown Babydoll sheep. We appreciate this cute animal!
