Heh.

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 good reminder that it is easy to get over-stimulated this time of year:

Who wants stuffed toys?

Rescue beavers want stuffed toys.

Be sure to "turn the pages".

These are Sangria and Rooney, both Maine Coon cats. Sangria (the black/gray) is two and a half years old, and she is just over sixteen and half pounds. Rooney, my orange himbo, is a year and a half, and twenty pounds. The table they are sitting on is bone of contention between the two. Sangria considers it hers but Rooney wants to be near her. She likes to sprawl full length on it but he gets up on a corner of it and nudges her until they both are sitting up on it together. The size difference is not due to forced perspective, he really is that much bigger than her. She is rather compact while he is rangy with long legs. (the green blob is a grandchild's Squashmallow picture).

What a pair! Thanks for sharing this great photo and the details about the differences between the siblings. Family life!

Hi KT, it’s Quarter Twenty.

Passing along a note about my friend Charlie’s dog Buddy.

He passed over the Rainbow Bridge this week.

A black lab mix, he was special to me and a group of friends because we meet weekly for what is essentially a house church. And Buddy was always there to revel in the controlled chaos of a bunch of guys trying to prepare some haphazardly planned meal in a tiny kitchen with an abundance of appetizers, snacks and dropped food. Dutifully cleaning the plates before they entered the dishwasher, he would also incessantly lick hands, arms, and exposed knees of anyone within range. Charlie would usually have to explain to newcomers: “Please excuse my dog. He can’t control his licker.” 70 pounds of friendliness, he loved to accompany the group for a post-dinner walk so he could check his pee mail.

Charlie is also a talented photographer and captured this silhouette a few years ago while watching sunset at Shenandoah National Park. Buddy will be sorely missed by all his friends from The Church At Charlie’s House.

I think Buddy qualifies as a PetMoron. So sorry that Charlie, you and all of your group have lost him. What a great photo.

This is Belle and she is mesmerized by the Christmas lights.

I wish to remain a lurker.

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing the great photo of Belle and the lights! She's an example to us all of the possibilities of appreciation.

Great Egret, tired of my shenanigans.

By-Tor

Wonderful action photo! We recently had egrets and cranes hanging out locally, but they have moved south for the winter. Nice to see that By-Tor can still photograph one in Southern California.

Thank you for sharing your pets, photos and pet wit and wisdom with us.

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.
