Ace of Spades Pet Thread, January 13

Worth watching, sound on. Read the commentary concerning racoon life habits, too.

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.

Teresa in Fort Worth:

I think that we have found Weasel's Doppelganger/Spirit Animal/Brother (Dog) from Another Mother

What does Weasel Dog say?

Somehow, I also missed this one from Hrothgar, but I bet there may be a few people out there who still have a little "Catmess".

The kitteh in the meme above kinda reminds me of the grandnephew rescue kitty who has just been promised to an adoptive home:

Benji was the "Dog of Honor" at my daughter's wedding in September. He walked down the aisle like a champ. Pork chops were served at the reception, so he was a very happy boy!

What an Amazing Dog. More than a Good Boy!

Dear KT:

Longtime reader of Ace, longtime lurker. Love the pet thread, an island of sanity in a sea of ever greater craziness.

And a reminder that there is some pure love out there.

Sadly, we're keeping a vigil on our sweet hound, Memphis, who we sent pix of a few years back. She's 13, and I'd like to think she's led a good doggeh life, complete with long walks, belly rubs, and a lot of very fine cheese.

Please keep up the Pet Thread, it is a source of comfort, as well as many smiles.

---Lurking

Memphis looks like a wonderful dog. So sorry that you are losing her. Stay in touch.

Your inclusion of Jewell's pittie mix today made me think of my own beloved Cookie, gone too long and sorely missed. Compare, contrast--except for the eyes, they look so much alike they could almost be sisters:

It's amazing how pets remind us of our own pets so often.

Lurker with a dog! Here are two pictures of Addy, our Glen of Imaal terrier. Glens are fairly rare terriers from Ireland (the breed is categorized as vulnerable), bred originally to go after various rodents--quietly!--which means they still don't bark much. Glens as a rule are goofy, friendly and great with kids. They're big dogs (35-40 pounds) on short legs. In the first pic, you can see her shape a little better. The second one shows her chilling after a day of making merry on Christmas.

She looks like a fun dog, full of personality!

What great pet stories today. A Dog of Honor!

Thank you for sharing your pets with us.

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, January 6. Some special PetMoron stories and photos there.

I closed the comments on this post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.

Lori in Custer SD sent in some additional information on last week's post:

Hi. We just weighed Virga, the 10 month old Moyen poodle and she weighs 34 pounds. Breeder in Hill City, SD says females may reach 40 pounds. We are very happy with the decision to get her...not too big (we are over age 60), so she can go for walks with us. The dachshunds are not built for hikes. Virga starts a foundation agility class tomorrow, in Rapid City. She's high energy and loves learning things so I can't wait. They can't compete until age 12-15 months old, due to joint growth. But we can get the groundwork laid for all of us as we are new to everything with her.

Thanks for all you do and loving all the silly pets and their morons out here!

Nice to know more about this breed.

I don't know what breed this happy dog, Foxanne, who met By-Tor recently, is. Not a poodle. But we like happy dogs.
