Ace of Spades Pet Thread, September 7

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.

NEWS:

Master Criminal

A sneaky cat burglar has been tormenting a town by stealing dozens of clothes from unsuspecting homeowners.

Taboo, a 12-year-old black and white moggie, has nicked gloves, socks, underpants and shoes from properties across Otley, West Yorkshire.

Her owner, Sandra Danskin, 62, has now been forced to share regular pictures of the items on social media so residents can collect them.

'This morning I had four pairs of socks and a pair of underpants. She loves bringing back items of clothing like that, but also we've had a mop head and kitchen rolls.

'We even had half a dozen eggs once, still in their box, but all broken. . .

She also said the moggie is quite fastidious and brings back a 'full set' of anything she managed to find.

Sandra said: 'If she brings back a sock she will always go back and get the matching one so there's a pair.

Love is the only explanation I can think of.

Storytime:

Two women were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other, a Chihuahua. As they walked down the street, the one with the Doberman said to her friend, "Let's go over to that bar for a drink."

The lady with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."

The one with the Doberman said, "Just watch, and do as I do."

They walked over to the bar and the one with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in. The bouncer at the door said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."

The woman with the Doberman said, "You don't understand.
This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bouncer said, "A Doberman?"

The woman said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good."

The bouncer said, "OK, come on in."

The lady with the Chihuahua thought that convincing him that a Chihuahua was a seeing-eye dog may be a bit more difficult, but thought, "What the heck," so she put on her dark glasses and started to walk in.

Once again the bouncer said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."

The woman said, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bouncer said, "A Chihuahua?"

The woman with the Chihuahua stepped back and then said,

"WHAT! A Chihuahua ? They gave me a freaking Chihuahua !!"

Don't let the dog drive, please.

Hi all,

This is my buddy Huey Lewis, he found me at a shelter 10 years ago. Here he is as I'm reading the nightly cafe, the best part of our evening!

If I do comment it's usually as TC.

Thanks y'all!

Huey is obviously a wonderful dog! Love his eyes.

My Sam learning to read. Nothing good on TV.

A fine choice, Sam, you sweetheart.

A gracious good evening, K.T.,

I don’t post a lot, but I’m Appycay when I do.

Thank yous first:

I really appreciate what you do to put this thread together - and the gardening thread (and others, but I don’t always keep track of who is doing what.) But thank you. And thank you to Ace, for providing a place for relief from everything else that’s going on. Knowing there are other people who see through the BS helps keep me sane, but sometimes the BS gets to be too much, and that’s when I really appreciate the pet thread. It’s really the only one that I will go back and read from beginning to end, even if I have missed it in real time.

Y’all have kindly accepted and posted an earlier photo I sent of Bob the Cat, and of Insom. Sadly, Bob has shuffled off this mortal coil, but it took friends only two months to suck me into taking a kitten that had been dumped in their condo community. And he came with a name, Turd Ferguson, which the ladies at the vet clinic love getting to yell in the waiting room. The reason he was at the vet clinic was to get his manhood altered. I felt kind of bad about it but it needed to be done. This picture is of him in his post surgery stupor when I first brought him home. It’s the only time since I’ve had him that he’s not been a little asshole racing around the house. Well, when he’s not sleeping.

So sorry to learn that you have lost Bob. Turd Ferguson is delightful.

Thelma and Louise. But mostly Louise

Meet Miss Louise, of the Misses Thelma and Louise, from deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas. We rescued the teeny, tiny sisters from a likely drowning and brought them home; so young, they didn't really know how to eat so we spoon fed them til they decided to bury their little faces in kitten kibble. Three years and 17 pounds later, Miss Louise is unbothered, moisturized, happy , in her lane, focused (sort of) and flourishing.

S.

A wonderful story and a great photo! We look forward to seeing her sister.
