Ace of Spades Pet Thread, October 5

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.

That's remarkable!

Response from last week's post on inmates raising cats in prison:

AoS Lurker "RS" here. As always, many thanks for the weekend specialty threads. Always a treat. I thought you might like to know that Missouri has a program for inmates to train dogs for subsequent adoption. I have a buddy who adopted a dog from the program. Great dog and great program for both the inmates and animals. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Great to know about this!

National Chicken Month has just ended. But in some places, Chicken Love is still in the air. The signs are not always obvious . . .

This is our cockerel, General. He is molting this fall in an interesting way. I can almost here him say, how YOU doin'.

Those "eyebrows" kill me.

He's a three year old Jersey Giant. Unfortunately, he is a coward and not doing his job of protecting or increasing the flock. So...it's freezer camp for him next year.

I post as "Question Authority Bumper Sticker" and before that as "Flyover." QABS was a sock I forgot to take off, so just left it. [shrug]

General looks like he could be brave. Guess you can't always tell from appearances.

My beautiful friend Riley who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on September 21st, just a few weeks shy of 15 years. Smartest dog I ever knew; his 'pup', a Westie named Haggis, and I are broken hearted.

So sorry that you and Haggis have lost Riley. He sounds like a wonderful dog. That is a great photo.

The photo below was featured on the Pet Thread at some point. It's Riley with his two "biting lambs", brothers Haggis (L) and Comet (R).

Found it - 10/3/2020:

Hi Mis Hum!

Riley (the Border Collie in the foreground) has been featured before on the Pet Thread with his Westie, Haggis (background, left. plotting mischief). To the right of Haggis is his brother/litter mate, Comet, who came to live with us almost a year ago. Comet's first family could not keep him and, much to Riley's horror and chagrin, we said 'of course we'll take him!'. Riley and his "biting lambs" spend hours cavorting in the yard and entertaining one and all.

What nice memories! Give some extra snuggles to Haggis for us.

KT,

Thank you so much for the pet thread. Enclosed please find a picture of our new roommate: Jax, on the right.

Jill, the sedate lady on the left, and I recently welcomed Jax, our black Lab (All Labs Matter!) rescue. She’s been seen on the Pet Thread before, most recently as she was preparing for hunting season by watching an Outdoor TV video on pheasants. He’s the new addition. Has been added to our pack with only an occasional snarl. Jill: “Hello … no, I don’t come here often. No, I don’t care what your sign is. No I don’t want to dance. Yes, I have noticed that you have a penis … snarl.”

Our problem has been “fixed,” so to speak and he’s much more pleasant company for my bucket-list Lab, Jill.

My girl has had, since birth, about four or five white hairs on her muzzle. I know it’s stupid, but I want to take a magic marker and black them out so she won’t get older.

Onward, clc

Awww, Jax and Jill look great together. And you are obviously in love.
