Ace of Spades Pet Thread, March 18

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Thanks for stopping by. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Would you like a treat?

Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.

I can relate to this lately:

Suburb Dog

I went to bed at 10pm last night. Jumbo was fast asleep but I left the door ajar if any of the dogs needed the toilet.

Jumbo was still fast asleep this morning but he seemed unusually tired. I thought he was maybe a bit sick… pic.twitter.com/8mM5Qy5V6o

Here are our two rescue scotties. Maddie is the black one. She is 12 and we have had her for 7 years.

Joe, the wheaten, is our newbie. We got him in September and he is 4.

They are both quite the characters.

I'm a lurker who occasionally posts as hh.

Quite the distinctive Scotties!

From Jewells:

This is Mars. He was picked up as a stray and has been at the animal shelter since Dec 2022. He is heartworm positive so we are treating that. He's very mild mannered and gets along with the other dogs. He has had several seizures in the past but the shelter said they had been decreasing, hopefully they will stop. We don't know his age but best guess by the vet is 10. He also has a lump on his back that's not cancerous and that will be removed once he finishes the heartworm treatment.

Mars looks like he's not quite relaxed from his street experiences yet. Thanks for the great work you are doing, Jewells.

Here is a photo from several years ago of our pet ferret, Thisbe. She was small and sweet and gave kisses, not bites.

She and our part lab Harley (who has appeared here in the past) loved playing together.

We'd never have another ferret at this point, but she was lots of fun for a few years :)

Thanks as always for the Pet Thread!

A fascinating pet. So glad she got along with your dog!

The happy little guy in the kissing booth is my foster dog "Yukon." Part Pit Bull Terrier, part American Bulldog, this adorable 2 year-old shithead loves everyone and everything, but most of all he loves playing with other dogs. And humping them. That too.

The beautiful girl with the stuffed animal is my other foster, "Nadia." A one year-old Cane Corso, she's very broken down from being badly mistreated for the first year of her life by a shithead backyard breeder, who did a bang up job mangling her ears. She's seriously the sweetest little thing. A few months of training and socializing and she will make a great addition to a loving family.

The last picture is of my former foster, "Bronson". He's been featured on the AoS Pet thread before, but I wanted to note that after almost two and a half years in the rescue, he finally found his furever home, with a family who adopted another of our rescue dogs last year.

Appreciate the pet thread and all Ace and the Co-Bloggers do.

Another rescuer in The Horde! Great photos! So great that Bronson finally found his forever home!

Hi KT! I love the pet thread and previously submitted a photo of my ragdoll Coco when she was younger. She's all grown up now and her face mask color has set. It's an Ace of Spades!

Cheers from Moonbeam!

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, March 11.

I closed the comments on this post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
