Ace of Spades Pet Thread, April 27

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.

From By-Tor:

My neighbor has informed me that our racoon has returned. Must be late April.

I don't mind her and her soon to be born brood except they leave muddy racoon paw prints on my white trim I will have to pressure wash or repaint.

Three years running.

Charming.

Miley sent in a remarkable real-life video of a foal meeting her foster mom. Not an easy situation.

Thanks, Miley.

Tutti Fruitti has been featured before, but we are celebrating his comeback from a, what I am sure was a stroke, cough that was related to eating and drinking--cat dysphagia. Took him to the vet and spent a bunch of money to get less info than I already figured out; but ruled out an obstruction for the cough and refusal to eat or drink. So, just gently encouraged him to drink water and he slowly improved from there. At 16, I know that he does not have a long time left, but he is a fighter and worked his way back. I'm enjoying every day that I have with him.

What a beautiful cat! Glad you still have him.

Hi K.T.

Thanks so much for hosting the Pet Thread. I look forward to your commentary and seeing the Moron Pets every Saturday.

I'm attaching pics of my West Highland Terrorist, Bodie. He's 4 years old and doesn't he look cute? It's a damn good thing because he's a real pistol. He is stubborn, headstrong and hasn't met a dog that he won't go after. He's a little dog that thinks he's big. In other words full of Westitude. And we love him.

The first pic is Bodie and his favorite toy, the sneaky snake. Second pic is just chilling.

My nic is MeLurkYouLongTime.

We can tell that we would love Bodie, too. Even though he has Westitude.

Cats in the evening:

We have no idea what the draw is but in the late evening Sangria and Rooney camp out with the computers. They don't stay long, it's only one of the stops on their way through the house. The rest of the day and evening they fight over the chair when it's unoccupied.

My wife and I are empty nesters. We live in a house with many pets. Birds, cats and a dog. Everybody gets along fairly well as these pictures reflect.

The first is our lab Bella and her buddy Nola. We have raised Nola from a hatchling and Bella adopted her. They canoodle together and Bella is very gentle.

The next is our White Bellied Caique and Val. The cat tolerates this indignity somehow.

Love the site and this feature.

Regards,

DJ

Wow. Remarkable photos. And interesting stories!

We don't want to get too political here, but there is a post I haven't completely figured out on what the border crisis means for animals, some of which are being abandoned at the border.

Here are some links from our correspondent to get you started in becoming informed and in helping:

There are also smaller operations starting up. We will try to watch some of these. Thanks for the information, including that which we haven't gotten to yet.

What a wonderful collection of pet stories today. We have one left for next week.

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, April 20 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.
