Ace of Spades Pet Thread, August 20

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.

Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.

This reminds me so much of my Toby, a dog that was a joy to our family, loved life, and was loved in return by all who were lucky enough to know him!

Toby sounds wonderful.

How close do you come in image count?

That is a lot of pupper pictures. :) https://t.co/UnpOKyxQ0s

It is a bittersweet day here. The babies will be going to their new forever homes in the next few days. I haven't posted for the last 2 weeks because everything here is status quo. They are all doing very well. As you can see in this pic, they are very active and flying all over the house. They are perching on the kitchen cabinets in this last family image. Two are on my shoulder as I type this.

At this point I think some thanks are in order.

First, I would like to thank K.T. and Ace for providing me this platform to share with you this journey from hatchling to adolescence.

Second, I would like to thank my wife for introducing me to the wonderful world of birds more than a few years ago. She is a fairly private person and wished not to be named in these posts, but she calls the shots (past, present and future) with respect to these chicks. I always respect her wishes.

Lasty, and foremost, I would like to thank you, good reader. Without you the Pet Thread and AoS as a whole would not be a thing. May God bless you all.

End of Story.

Warmest regards,

David

It has been an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it with us, David! The birds look great, and they are all different!

A long time lurker, I really enjoy the pet thread, and finally got around to putting something together. This handsome devil is an Australian Shepherd. (this pic was taken a while ago, he's now 10)

The Australian Shepherd breed standard calls for a docked tail, so I named him "Bob", but before long his name became Bob Dammit. "Bob, Dammit shut up!" " Bob, Dammit get out of there!" " Bob, Dammit will you leave the cat alone?"" The cat in question is Lady Harriet Needlefoot, who Bob adores and continually tries to herd.

Her consort is Lord Oswald Plushbottom, Destroyer of Furniture, who adores Bob and follows him around, constantly trying to snuggle up any time he lays down.

The cats kind of match!

Together they are .....Ozzie and Harriet! Unfortunately, hardly anyone knows who Ozzie and Harriet were anymore.

What a great trio of friends!

Thank you for sharing your pets and animal photos and stories with us today. We have a couple for next week, but we will accept more!

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, September 13

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.
