Ace of Spades Pet Thread, September 16

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 is Willie and Carson. Carson is Willie's seeing eye dog. Can't believe his luck of getting to work with his best friend. 13/10 for both pic.twitter.com/2KfdSugxKn

This is Murphy a male pitbull. He was a stray so we don't know anything about him. The vet guessed about 10 years old. The city of Independence just lifted its pitbull ban so we can now take pitbulls. He is overweight for a stray! But he seems to have a sweet disposition and is pretty mellow.

Hi, Murphy! Hope you get adopted soon!

Too late for today's pet thread but happening live right now anyway as I read it.

Wow! An exciting event triggered by last week's Pet Thread (no doubt)! How great is that?

Mama seems to be handling the situation well.

Behold, the real head of the household: Gidget, more commonly known as Nugget or tha' Lil nugget dawg, or just nuggs. We got her from the shelter about 7 years ago. When she's not lounging with her favorite stuffed animal, she's running around the house terrorizing the other two tiny pups and keeping the backyard free of feral cats and squirrels.

We call her nugget because we got her in Colorado and she's smaller than the other two. She's adapted to the Texas heat quite well and she's a snuggler, even in the summer heat. She's the third of three shelter doggehs, which are the best doggehs evah!

She's a cutie. So is her rhino.

My neighbor's three-legged cat is chill.

Three Amigos:

RetiredSOF. Long-time lurker, though my three books were showcased a while ago. From left to right: Goose, Murphy, and Gunner. Goose was my daughter and son-in-law's first dog. Big, solid, handsome Boxer and a great dog for three growing grandsons under seven. He passed away about year ago. The other Boxer, Gunner, is a big goofball and not as handsome (chuckle) but has taken over the job of family dog about as well as anyone could ask and the boys love him. Murphy, the Cavalier Spaniel, was my dog, adopted from a Mennonite family in Pennsylvania. He always considered himself to be a big dog and could hold his own with Goose and Gunner. He too passed away about a year ago and is greatly missed. Gunner fills in well for him, however. He has sleepovers with me on occasion.

Sorry about the loss of Goose and Murphy. What a great group of dogs! Glad you get to spend time with Gunner.

UPDATE TO LAST POST

RetiredSOF. Mostly lurker. Sent a previous email label Three Amigos.

Got a new pup (seven months) to replace Murphy, the Cavalier Spaniel. His name is Max and he is an amazing dog. He is a miniature Golden Doodle. He and Gunner, the Boxer, are now best friends. Run, run, and run and then compare tongues.

It's so great that you and Gunner have a new friend in your lives. Both dogs have great tongues!
