Ace of Spades Pet Thread, November 1

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.

First Dog I Ever Rescued

Dear K.T.,

This guy showed up at the garbage cans by the highway the week before Christmas last year. He followed me home & adopted us.

He was skin & bones, filthy, and full of fleas, ticks & heart worms. I called him Zeke and he was just so grateful for any kindness. After 10 months of good food & lots of love, he’s now 90 lbs. of muscle . . .

He looks great after your TLC!

We think he is an Anatolian Shepherd - Lab mix. Here he is with my Golden, Maggie.

Those two look like great friends. Maggie is lovely. Zeke looks big next to her.

You just never know what might show up on your doorstep one day.

Regards,

So my brother completed the shelter for our adopted stray, Sammy, last weekend. Then the damned cat disappeared on Monday. Four days, and we feared the worst. Purry was so glad "that guy" wasn't around anymore. I think Della missed him staring at her through the sliding glass door.

Then this afternoon (Friday) he showed up ravenous. Maybe he was locked in a shed or garage, but we're convinced it's a Halloween miracle!

I don't know if you can see that inside of the styrofoam, there's a sherpa-lined cat cube.

Looks very cozy.

What experience has The Horde had with kitty shelters?

Here's the photo of Della (on the chair) and Sammy from last week. Evidence of a black cat Halloween miracle when Sammy returned!

Was taking care of the grandkids and dogs. We were raking leaves into a pile for some fun. Turned around and the 2 dogs had set themselves up for a perfect photo. Duck is the Rottweiler x mastiff and Bruce is the Golden Retriever. I love this site and particularly the Saturday afternoon pet thread.

Duck and Bruce were having a great time! Bet the grandkids enjoyed watching them, too! Thanks for sharing such a fun time 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.
