Ace of Spades Pet Thread, August 24

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.

Why you should have a cat:

New Kitty Overlord (Overlady?)

Here's my new kitten, Lily, whom I adopted on a whim from a PetSmart adoption event. Objectively, she is the cutest kitty that ever lived, and those big paws and ear tufts lead me to suspect some Maine Coon blood in the mix.

All Hail Eris, Cat Slave

What a little sweetie!

Long time lurker, I post under tRustyHudson on occasion... I've been meaning to share a photo of our best old pup Link. He crossed the Rainbow bridge in 2012... we picked him up from the Husky Rescue in 2007. My wife was pregnant at the time and they wouldn't let her out in the yard since many of the dogs were 'a bit rambunctious'... but this old Malamute just came and sat next to me, just sat there and pressed against me. And that was it, I knew. He was 6-7 by their account, and I hope we gave him his best years.

He was our first son's protector, the devourer of unattended hotdogs and chicken carcasses, and the drinker of misplaced whiskey.

We love you forever, Link.

Awww, Link looks like a wonderful dog. I can see why you still have fond memories.

Love your Saturday thread.

Attached is a pic taken on a camping trip. My 3 Goldendoodles had a long day hiking and playing in the creek. When it was time for a nap, they did this. They are the I Got Your Back Pack.

I hope you'll share this with the other Pet Morons.

Great photo of great dogs! Looks like they would have fun on a camping trip!

Hello!

Here’s one for you for next week’s installment. Angus, our 11 year old Chihuahua from Tucson loves him some sketty treats.

Regards,

We will never forget Angus now!

PetMorons once removed:

My buddy's dogs had a surprise for him when he got home. They looked quite pleased with themselves. By-Tor

And a "happy dog of the day" photo. By-Tor has his own dogs, but he also notices happy dogs in his neighborhood.

We happen to have another happy dog photo for next week . . . See you then!

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.
