Ace of Spades Pet Thread, June 15

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.

Gardening/Pet Thread Crossover:

Hey KT,

As I was gardening this morning I heard this clicking and when I looked up here were my two garden companions. If you look up and to the right you can see his mate. I am not sure if the clicking was to say hi, or warn me away. I put out a saucer of water, and I hope they continue to stay in my garden. I love them. I think they are screech owls. Best part of gardening is having things like this happen.

Wee Kreek Farm Girl has some interesting Garden Companions!

This is Doug a 15 year old dachshund whose human passed away. He is being fostered by one of our Shep's volunteers. Lucky lady! She said he's still very playful and loves belly rubs.

Doug looks like a couple of wonderful dogs I have known. Thanks for helping him and dogs like him.

Our two 14 year old Am Staff mixes. Lola and Roscoe. Sisters from the same litter, they seem to unconsciously sprawl in the exact same positions awake or asleep. Uncanny sometimes.

What a great photo of two lovely sisters!

Attached are photos of our current crowd of doggoes.

BillB here. Generally a lurker. AoSHQ is a read of mine every day.

My wife and I have had numerous dogs. It has always bee a sad occasion
when one has to go over the Rainbow Bridge. We currently have three
dogs. Eldest and chief of the dogs is Tito. We adopted him 13 years
ago on the 4th of July. My sister-in-law couldn't keep him so my wife
drove 30 miles to her sister's house and rescued him. He is an
Apple-head Chihuahua. He can be a sweet dog but he can be the fiercest
little dude in the neighborhood. He is in his twilight years but seems
to be in good health so he should be around for a couple more years.

Next in line is Maddie Mae. We adopted her from the Hill Country SPCA
in Fredericksburg Texas at 9 weeks old in May of 2019. She is a mix of
Catahoula Leopard and maybe Aussie Shepard; she is essentially a Red
Merl Catahoula with her beautiful golden coat. As to her name, the SPCA
gave her the name Maddie and we added the Mae to it; we found out that
was wife's great grandmothers name. She is one of the best dogs we have
had in our 28 years together. A great guard dog but only fierce enough
to keep "unkowns" at bay. She is one smart dog as she has learned to
say Pupperronie. That word applies to all good treats now.

Our latest adoption this past May is Dottie . We again adopted from the
Hill Country SPCA. She is a Chiwienie (Dachshund/Chihuahua mix). She
was 4 months old when we adopted her. She is the enigizer puppy. She
and Maddie Mae are constantly playing. She really is a cute and loving dog.
