Pet Thread - May 31, 2025 [TRex]

TRex knows what you're thinking. "Too early for the Hobby Thread but the Gardening Thread has already been posted and I don't have anything more to say about radishes or asparagus soup."

Ace of Spades has you covered. Welcome to a bonus substitute Pet Thread! With very little planning or forethought, let's enjoy some time talking about our favorite animal family members. KT is dodging helicopters while escaping from the hospital, so we'll take that as a positive sign. Hopefully, she'll restore order to the Saturday mid-day Ace of Spades thread program soon.

But in the meantime, what Pet Thread theme would be worthy of the Ace of Spades stage? Let's talk terriers!

Are you wise in the ways of the Airedale Terrier?

TRex has a soft spot for terriers in general and Airedales in particular. Smart, charismatic, expressive, curious, loyal, and playful. In other words, they're a handful. Had two growing up and always excited to see them.

How can you say no to that face??!!

Who among the Horde has had terriers as a part of their family?

An interweb search of AKC dog registration data in the US shows the top ten terrier breeds in 2024 include:

Yorkshire Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, West Highland White Terrier (Westie), Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier (Parson Russell Terrier),
Bull Terrier, Border Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Scottish Terrier (Scottie), and Airedale Terrier.

Because I can't resist:

Does any among the Horde have an Airedale or had an Airedale? Does any among the Horde know people that breed Airedales? TRex is available for short term dog duty!

Let's talk puppy power (or other pets) until Hobby Thread time. Leave the politics or religious debates outside the kennel.
