Ace of Spades Pet Thread, November 22

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.

You may recall that last week, I said that we had a sick pup. Well, on Sunday, he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He had been almost deaf for some time and had been developing some problems walking and eating, but then it was like his systems started to go into shut-down, over a rather short period of time. So alarming.

He started having honest-to-goodness seizures while we waited for a room to clear at the emergency vet office. Busy day for them. I think they gave him something for the seizures before it was time for his final farewell. He seemed calm then. He wanted lap time last week, which was not usual for him. Nose in the crook of an elbow or on a neck. He seemed to know.

This is a photo of Little Buddy on an old work table in the back yard in 2014. He liked to eat there, where the other dogs did not go. Sometimes he channeled a meerkat. But he had a minor seizure disorder that made him sort of blank out and we started to worry that he would fall off the table, so we took it down. That's a pomegranate tree in the next door lot hanging over the fence.

This is Little Buddy with his biggest friend, Troy. Troy had been a street dog and Little Buddy had been a street puppy. They both had beautiful eyes and soft, floppy ears that kept them from looking too dignified. We lost Troy years ago, and we hope that they are having a nice reunion. Our remaining dog, Curly, looks for his brother when he goes outside. Little Buddy was bigger than Curly, but Curly was the alpha dog. He misses escorting him to dinner.

We hoomans suddenly miss the other dogs we have lost - not just Little Buddy. Farewell, friends.

Hi KT,

Here's Purry Mason, Publius' princeling, sitting in the garage window.

So dignified! And observant.

I had a stray kitten show up in the yard, mostly lurking around for a day, which is not unusual since all the neighbors have cats, but the next day she came in the kitchen door and started eating out of the cat bowl.

I have put flyers out, posted on facebook, left notice with the local vets, the Humane Society and the local cat adoption, and I have had no response.

I know someone really misses her since she is so sweet, but after a week I am starting to hope no one claims her, she has really calmed my other tom kitten down. "calmed down" is a relative term, of course, since they spend most of their play time boiling around the house

We are calling her Becca.

Another sweetie.

Rosie is our rescue Briard. She is sweet natured but full of energy.She just had her 5th birthday. She is vigilantly watching for animals invading our back yard.

Love Rosie's face.

Here's a pic of my mini-golden retriever at his second birthday party. Dubby is a very good boy! His "cake" is liverwurst with bacon. He didn"t give me a piece.

I closed the comments on that post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
