Ace of Spades Pet Thread, October 19

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.

A 38-year-old woman collapsed and died after being bitten by one of her children's pet hamsters.

The mother-of-two reportedly collapsed while outside a health centre near her home in Spain while accompanied by her two children, a 17-year-old and an 11-year-old.

Cause of death was not released, but there have been very rare cases of deaths from rodent bites due to severe allergies. Might be best not to have pet rodents if you are allergic to them. Epi pens may be a good idea.

Though rodent can be awfully cute:

The PetMorons heard that some members of The Horde were going to be preoccupied this weekend, and they seem to have held off sending in storied and photos. So today, we have PetMoron Adjacent Animals.

Mike, proprietor of Cold Fury, has written a great story with a sequel and more photos describing the rescue of an injured little Party Cat by a tough Biker Dude. Click on over.

Charming little Party Cat!

Looks like Party Cat fell into a pretty schweet set-up all around, I am happy to report.

I'm lurker and very occasional commenter REINE.

I see the pet threads include "pet adjacent" photos -

This little squirrel got spooked by a barking dog and figured the safest place he could be was on my husband's leg! Baby squirrel even came inside for a bit . . .

AWWWW . . . . Baby squirrel looks desperate.

We have our own Swiss Guide Dog, Gioia, here at AoSHQ. This is her American cousin, Barli.

Hope you have a relaxing weekend.
