Ace of Spades Pet Thread, December 30
Still got boxes from Christmas?
* * *
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.

Meet The PetMorons
Here is a photo of our new and unexpected Christmas puppy. He is an 8 week old Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix and his name is Buckley. I tell myself it was a semi rescue situation since he needed a home and his situation was not ideal. I found out about him thanks to Ben Had... not sure if I've been had yet. She agreed to be on the extended warranty. ?

Can't get much more adorable than that little fellow. Oh, my!

Hey, TGH here; longtime lurker. These pictures are of our beloved Ripley, a two year old Silken Windhoud. Ripley excels in the sport of LGRA: large gazehound racing. It's a two hundred yard straight track race. Here's Ripley in fine form, and winning it all this fall at the Ohio Classic Silken Windhound specialty, with his bling. When not racing, he's the perfect bed companion and couch potato.
What exciting photos! Hope it's okay that I obscured the human faces. Not that they are not lovely, too. The bling is impressive. Congratulations!

There's a contrast. You have some dogs with personality at your house!

Our Swiss guide dog Gioia hosts a friend whose human grandmother passed away just before Christmas for a holiday meal. Gioia is a good hostess.

Surprise submission:
Mudd (the little one) and Slush watching the game. They were cheering for the Eagle's because they are Jalen Hurts fans from his BAMA days.
Roll Tide!

The dogs look absorbed in the game!
