Ace of Spades Pet Thread, October 12

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.

Here is the beautiful stray cat of my apartment complex. Her name is Nimbus due to her white with edging of light to dark gray. The tenants in the other apartments all know her name and have half-adopted her. But she is still a 'wild thing'. Last year when she was a kitten she snuck into the apartment and almost got to the stairs. She likes boiled eggs, shrimp, chicken, beef, pork, always hungry but always pretty. Nobody can tame her, yet she is always near. (She may be 'of the street' but she has not had a litter yet.) Tough to say no sometimes if you know what I mean.

A lovely cat. "Nobody can tame her" but they can pamper her. Thanks for sending in her story and the lovely photo.

Here’s Fritz (the GSP) and Bertie (the English Setter.) They’ve been my buddies for the last 19 years. They are the bestest of good doggos. Fritz (the source of my nic) was literally the pick of the litter, I chose him out of the whelping box.

Six years ago, on Oct. 13th, Fritz climbed up in my bed as I was reading and laid down next to me at 1:00. At 2:30 I felt his last heartbeat. He lived a good, happy life.

Bertie joined us about six months earlier. Being a pup he didn’t pick up all that much from Fritz, but enough to be an equally great doggo.
All said, I’ve been very dog rich these past 19 years.

Thank you for sending in the great photos and wonderful stories about Fritz and Bertie. So sorry that you lost your great friend, Fritz. Happy that you still have Bertie.
