Ace of Spades Pet Thread, November 2

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.

Meet The PetMorons

From Jewells:

Brody.jpg

This is Brody, a rat terrier we rescued from the Independence MO animal shelter. He's 15 years and is a cuddle bug.

It felt like things had stagnated at Sheps's over the past year or so but I think things may finally change. JJ finally got adopted and was the reason we could never bring a small dog into the mix. He found the perfect home. Then sadly Roscoe and Hope both crossed the rainbow bridge. They were our 2 invalids.

We have also begun earnest fund raising to make big improvements to Shep's including an expansion of the original building. The cost is $900,000 and we have raised about $200,000 so far. I'm hoping to sign up to volunteer very soon.

Brody is adorable! Thanks for the update about Shep's!

Great to see you sending in Brody's photo so we can root for him.

Good morning…my screen/nic name is rocdoctom. Here is my story.

The photo is of Sheldon, the cat, and Gunnar, the lab. They are in their usual--Is it dinner time yet?—position. Sheldon came to stay with us while my sister-in-law was doing some home remodeling. Gunnar had never been around a cat so we were nervous at first, but things have gone smoothly from the first minute. They have become fast friends. Gunnar is just happy to have another four-legged companion in the house. When Sheldon left, Gunnar spent quite a bit of time searching around the house for him. And my sister-in-law says Sheldon keeps asking when he can have another sleepover.

There is quite a size difference between Sheldon and Gunnar! It is wonderful that they became such good friends! Hope that Sheldon can visit again soon.

Good morning! Just wanted to make a contribution.

This is Winnie, the Tiny Tomboy Princess. In two weeks she is going to be eight years old and as you can see, she is happy to take over the couch for a good resting spot.

She also likes the couch in the basement.

Winnie is lovely. Thanks to our mystery contributor (NR Pax). Looks like Winnie might have some company on the couch from time to time.

From By-Tor:

Lots of scary creatures at the Chaffey College Trunk or Treat

dusty c from forest dog.jpg

This is Dusty, who crossed the rainbow bridge last week.
He was rescued as an adolescent from a forest roadside in the Sierras and brought to the home of his rescuer, where attempts to find his owner were futile.
He was beloved by his family and friends and was a good watchdog. He moved to Arizona last year with his family.

He will be greatly missed, but he no longer suffers from arthritis.

Miss you, Dusty.

BIRDS

We have had Mourning Doves in our back yard for the past few days. Sometimes quite a few. By-Tor seems to find birds in lots of places:

ID byrd b 2.jpg

This bird is too plain for me to figure out what it is. Possibly a female towhee. Maybe a house finch.

By-Tor

Any guesses?

By-Tor was able to get close enough to this hummingbird to take this photo with his Iphone!

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.
