Ace of Spades Pet Thread, December 7

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.

Did you know that there are groups of people (or individuals) who will come to your yard to remove danger noodles which might be a threat to chickens or other pets?

PetMoron from History

Have no idea of the date of this ancient photograph, but this is a distant Scots relative of mine named Mitchell with one of his beloved rat terriers. His family had a series of rat terriers over the years and they were all named Vicki after Queen Victoria*!

Clearly, genes on both sides of my family have helped to make me a lover of doggos!

As an aside, I have no doubt that somewhere above, Queen Victoria weeps for what has become of her country.

Great photo and fascinating family history. Thanks for sending in this great illustration of loyalty.

Hi, thanks for your Pet Moron Thread. I’m a lurker who has posted Bella and Luca our GSDs previously. Here is Bella’s Christmas pic from 2021. This will be our first Christmas without her after 14 years. She was my wife’s special girl. Completed CGC and therapy training and was my wife’s constant companion when I was traveling. She will be remembered and missed.

Luca is now six and is a dad’s boy who is all play except when I’m not home then he turns into the protector. He too misses Bella and has become much more affectionate with us.

Thanks for posting the thread - Redinabluestate

Christmas won't be the same without your wonderful Bella, but that photo is a great memory. And Luca looks and sounds like a wonderful companion.

A sad loss on December 3:

I submitted pictures of my dogs several years ago. But today my dog Watson passed away. I knew he was near the end but I had hoped he would make it longer. He made it to be 16 years old and I'm including one of the first pictures I took, one of him with my other dog Tali and one from the day before he died. I found him as I was getting ready for work. It's been a hard couple weeks knowing this was coming. Good bye Watson. You were a good dog.

So sorry you have lost Watson. What a great dog. Tali also looks like a fine dog.

This is Sadie. She celebrates her 14th birthday on December 9th. As the picture shows, she still has plenty of spunk. She is a Basenji and behaves as such, a lot like a cat. Walks away during ear scratches, grooms herself regularly, prances vs. walks, knows commands but doesn't care, turns her back when she doesn't get her way, and shows little interest in pleasing her hoomins. Pretty spoiled pooch.

Sadie certainly is impressive for her age! Thanks!

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.
