Ace of Spades Pet Thread, Oct 11

From Hrothgar: "My Conor pup at work"

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 is Yuki. He was rescued from being euthanized after her owner dropped him off at a shelter for getting too big. DNA results show that he is 87.5% Gray Wolf, 8.6% Siberian husky, and 3.9% German shepherd pic.twitter.com/RbSb5DrXEY

I adopted Lulu nearly 4 years ago when she was 13 years old--at least that is the age the folks that surrendered her told my local Humane Society. I discovered she was 98% deaf after I got her, as she hears only nearby loud, sharp sounds. After 4 years, I am quite skeptical that she's now 17, because she's still very spry, can jump up 28" onto my bed, and has no signs of joint pain. She is now going blind, and we're in a period of adjustment for that, which I think causes me more stress than her. But her olfactory sense is spot on, and she uses her different voices to let me know when it's time to eat, and time for a walk. At 13 lbs, she's a big Pom, and I call her the Pomzilla. -- Liz Oxford, Maryland

What a beautiful dog. Thanks for all the detail in your wonderful story.

Levon, our English Setter has graced your pages before. Here are his siblings. Charli, our new Golden Retriever puppy and Bean, the tireless tyrant. Yorkies are spicy. Levon is such a patient boy. Cheers

Tom

Levon has a spicy puppy sibling now! Thanks for sending in both their photos.

Please refer to me as "Snoopy-Class of 70". This is 6 y/old Keyboardus Katus Kip. He fits most of the preferred habits in spades! Kip is an indoor/outdoor cat, and well-loved.

Kip looks a bit mysterious, but wonderfull!

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, October 4.

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.

Here's a notable comment from mindful webworker:
