Ace of Spades Pet Thread, September 2

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.

On a walk with my dog we came across a barn owl that was hung up in fishing line in a tree. Fortunately Prince William County animal control in Northern Va was very responsive to my call and was on scene in about 20 mins to get him down and off to Blue Ridge rescue for treatment and rehab, if possible. Sadly not every rescue is a candidate for rehab, some are euthanized due to injury. This poor owls wing was badly broken but with a bit of luck it will recover.

Thanks to CBD for formatting the videos.
Here's the second one.

We're not sure of the identity of the pet parent here, but:

This magnificent beast is August J. Moo. 1st pic is his gotcha pic when we found him in our garage with some of our community cats. He had fleas, worms and some facial injuries.

2nd pic is his 1 year gotcha day anniversary. He currently weighs 13lbs and is about 23" long. We measured him for a harness and with a 19" chest he's too big for the largest cat harness.

Lastly is his portrait as done by Chewy's in house artist. Chewy asks for photos of your pets sitting in a Chewy box so we sent them a picture of Moo. And received this painting in our next order.

He gets along well with our 2 voids, calico and tuxedo cats.

Well, August J. Moo looks great now. Didn't look so great when you rescued him. You did good work. Nice portrait, too.

This is Dudley doing his two favorite things, lazing on the couch and preparing to go for a walk in the snow. Dudley came to us in June of 2006 we were told he was about two years old at the time. Dudley was the most gentle dog I have ever known, he brought smiles to everyone he met on his frequent walks, sadly while his appearance belied his age, the years caught up to him. This past week we had to say goodbye to my very long time buddy, companion, and friend. As I very often said "you are a good boy Dud, I love you."

Awww. . . How you must miss Dudley. What a sweet face.

Our mailbox is kinda light this week, so here is our official Swiss guide dog Gioga on tour in the Swiss country side with a few of her canine friends.
