Ace of Spades Pet Thread, September 21

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.

Lulu is my latest adoptee from my local county humane society. I have had her now for just over 2 years, and when I got her I was told she was 13 years old, which was information they had from the family that surrendered her. Her name is Lulu, but she really is a Pomzilla, because at 13 lbs, she's twice the size of a standard Pomeranian. She's not fat, she's just big. And has a crazy thick coat that I have to have groomed each month. I know little about her former life, which is a challenge when you get an older dog. After all, they have their old habits and routines. I find myself adjusting to her rather than the other way around. But that's the way with the elderly, right? I'm thankful she's in great health, other than being deaf. Can you tell she owns me? I don't know how long she will be with me, but I believe every pet deserves a loving and as comfortable life as possible, and I take that task to heart, no matter how hard it is. It's always hard.

And I thank the Pet Thread to give a voice to the horde who have a place to celebrate/love/mourn their beloved pets.

Lulu looks extra-sweet. Thanks for taking such good care of her.

Our little cat Spooky is blind and physically challenged but she still knows how to find a sunbeam.

What a wonderful photo and observation. It is obvious that you really care for her. Spooky doesn't look totally black in the photo.

We once had a very skittish feral cat, "Spooky Mama" who had black guard hair over a gray undercoat. She looked way spookier than most black cats.

We're learning more about our little blind kitten.

Lurker here...

Lilah, a happy hound with a face and all the extra "fixings" that go
along with it. We love her so very much even the extra flingers she
likes to share.

Thank-you for allowing us to share.

Thanks, Lilah! Love your face!

This is Stella, our 2 year old Good Girl Bernedoodle. Mrs Refugee and I are her guardians. Hard to tell from the picture, but she is near her due date. She went back to the breeder, and is about to have her first litter. The house is too quiet already!

We will be waiting for more news! Stella looks like a great dog. We will be thinking about you, Stella!

I always enjoy the Pet Thread.

These are the newest members of our family, Massimo and Binx. After having 2 pairs of Burmese cats in the past, my daughter knew I always wanted a couple more. There don't seem to be any breeders in and around our Montana home. Daughter lives in Los Angeles, and acquired 2 kittens over the summer as a surprise. They are delightful; still in the velociraptor phase but very intelligent, sweet, and loving.

My screen handle is jix on Ace of Spades HQ.

They are charming and look a little exotic. "Velociraptor stage" . . . Heh.

What a wonderful collection of pet photos and stories today. Thank you for sharing your pets with us. Waiting for an I.D. for a couple of charming dogs whose photo is waiting to be posted.

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.
