Ace of Spades Pet Thread, September 9

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.

This dog was spotted supporting their local library. Thinks access to free sticks is so important. 12/10 pic.twitter.com/KGcVSPYapd

Finally, conclusive evidence as to how the dinosaurs went extinct.

This is Jillian. She has recently learned that this is not what people mean when they say pillow fight. 12/10 honest mistake pic.twitter.com/HkRfHoRGvL

This is Flea. He has dedicated his life to digging the longest horizontal hole in the world. And we are so proud of him. 13/10 pic.twitter.com/UFzufB9HpW

When I was living at a different address some years ago, this little girl started coming around at night. I left treats out for her, and she continued to come around, now during the day whenever I'd come home from work. I would have taken her in, but she was clearly someone's pet, was very open and friendly. Plus at the time, my own cat was not in the best of health.

Anyway, aside from her striking coat pattern, her main characteristic was that she talked...all the time. Seriously, unless her mouth was occupied with food, she would be meowing. The second picture is a rare shot of her with her mouth closed.

After three weeks or so, she stopped coming around. I assumed the best, that she had gone back to her real home.

Thank you for the weekend threads!

A tiny talker! Here's hoping she made it home in fine shape! Thanks for taking care of her.

Here is our Shiba Inu, Rocky. He is a stubborn yet lovable boydog. He thinks he is sooo sexy. He is. He was attacked by a coyote and suffered some pretty bad trauma. Rocky spent several days at the emergency vet in Spokane but has bounced back very well. He does distrust strange dogs which explains his problems with our recent addition, Blue, a big and goofy-sweet Husky Malamute mix. Kind of a snowy Moron, actually.

Very long time lurker and commenter, Pecan Scandi.

Wow! That coyote encounter sounds terrible! Hope that Rocky and Blue can become closer soon. They look like great dogs.

MamaCat home from a day at the vet for blood and urine work due to feline diabetes. I knew she wasn't liking it when the vet had to go to the chainmail gloves. Good sign, though- scrappy means she's feeling better.

Awww. Taking good care of her. She looks like a sweetheart, when she's not being poked.

Hi, I'm a longtime lurker, attached are pics of my now-gone dog, Kip.

What a lovely dog. So sorry you have lost Kip. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Hi,

Our daughter's Sky Bear, a Russian Blue, left us after 17 years. He was a really sweet cat, loves to be petted and jump on to our laps. I saw him growing up as a baby. Lydia later adopted a stray, Ghosty, and the two have been best friends forever. Ghosty would sometimes groom his brother and ambush him in jest. Ghosty is still with us.

We miss Sky but are thankful for the years he was with us. Sleep tight and RIP Sky.

Alan

So sorry you have lost Sky Bear. A lovely cat. Give some extra love to Ghosty for us.
