Ace of Spades Pet Thread, January 6

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.

Misanthropic Humanitarian has alerted us to a page at the Garden & Gun Magazine website dedicated to Good Dogs.

It seems to have started with a focus on sporting dogs, but currently features several categories of doggy photo contests, plus stories like this one:

A Little Chihuahua's Extra-Large Presence
A scraggly Chihuahua mix found on the banks of Lake Erie now runs the show in a Mississippi household

excerpt:

I was in the kitchen when the doorbell rang, and my husband, Dustin, answered it with his big jolly laugh that I've loved for years. My friend vanished before I could get to the doorway, and by the time I made it to the family room, our boys, three and six years old at the time, were already whirling like dervishes around this little dog, who had joined in--jumping and dancing and laughing (and barking)! Mommy, Mommy, come see! That little beige dog that looked like a miniature wolf wore a jaunty hand-knit green-and-white-striped scarf tied ever so gently around his neck. So distinguished--a little wolfy professor with four-inch legs and a bulbous belly like an overinflated football. He strutted around as if he already owned the kitchen. The dog trotted into each of the boys' laps, sitting with his tongue out as if to say, I'm new here, so what's cooking?

An hour or two turned into overnight, then overnight became at-least-just-the-Thanksgiving-weekend, and that weekend turned into a decade. . .

This looks like a training exercise, but still impressive.

Wow. I think this would be very risky for the average person and rescue dog. Glad it worked out.

I got a "rejected message" email notification on Christmas. Did someone try to submit a photo and misspell the address?

We know that there are more pets out there. If you have mail difficulties, try the garden thread address.

From a sort of Mysterious Contributor:

I'm a married guy with six cats. Here's a nice pic of three of them -- feel free to post it (without attribution).

Amazingly cute! And there are three more?

This beautiful girl is a 10 year old pit bull mix. She was found as a stray and has been staying in a shelter for several weeks until Shep's rescued her. I haven't met her yet. I finally signed up for a shift January 12th. Been too long!

Jewells

Glad to see another report from you, Jewells! Angelica has lovely coloring. Hope she finds a home soon.

This is Colby, our crazy orange cat. He loves chewing on this chair and going for car rides.

DH

Great photos! Looks like someone is pampering Colby. Don't let him drive, though.

You may remember Edison, our 13 year old Shih-Pom rescue, now joined by 5 month old Morkiepoo brother, Tucker. They're getting along very well and Edison has new life! He's helping Tucker learn the ropes, and Tucker is showing Edison how fast Edison can still run.

Debra T.

We couldn't forget dapper Edison, posing under the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve, 2022! Young Tucker and Edison look great together. Hard to resist those faces. Glad they're getting along well. Looks like they're having some fun.

Virga, Bingo and Eli. All posing for me. The dachshunds are finally used to Virga, the Moyen Poodle pup (10 months old). She does take advantage of her gender and size so she's kind of bossy to the boys. She's a wonderful addition to our little pack.

Wow! There's a contrast between the Dachshunds and their sister in both size and color. Gives us a good idea of the size of a Moyen Poodle.

I know the boys are wire-haired doxies, but my aunt and uncle once had a long-haired doxie in a slightly darker color and they remind me of him.

Nice Memories.
