Ace of Spades Pet Thread, November 29

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.

The horses of Iceland are the original Viking horses and one of the purest horse breeds in the world. Breed has been isolated on the rugged island in North-Atlantic since the settlement, or over 1000 years ago

Hi, KT, this is Caiwyn from the AoSHQ comments section.

I wanted to share the catio I built over the last month. My cats, Augie (short for Augusta) and Merlin both love watching the squirrels in the back yard. Merlin in particular wants to chase them outside, but his grey coat makes him nearly invisible at night and I don’t want to risk him being hurt. They are both indoor cats.

So to give them more of a taste of the outdoors I built them a catio! It’s 4-foot by 2-foot enclosure just outside the back window, made of 2x4 beams, 3/4-inch plywood shelves, and a large sheet of PetScreen. They access it through the window when it’s open, and it gives them multiple vantage points for watching birds and squirrels. So far they seem to like it!

Very impressive! A sure sign that your cats are loved! Thanks for showing us so many building details.

Hey, KT! This is my golden retriever Finn. He'll be a year old on 11/29, and has grown into a handsome boy. He's currently in full teenage hellhound phase, which we're hoping he'll grow out of soon!--Jordan61

Happy Birthday, Finn! We love you! You don't look like a hellhound.

1. Treat time! Winnie (Left) is thinking that maybe this time she does not have to sit. Kroger (Center) flopped down quickly. I told Rose (Right) to sit and she climbed into bed with Kroger. To give you an idea of my initial concern, Kroger does *not* share his space very well but for the sake of a Yaky Puff, he was willing to overlook Rose's transgression.

2. Kroger with his new bed and his bear.

3. Winnie (right) deigning to let Cole share a dog bed. With some help from great hoomans. Kroger will share with his bear!

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, November 22

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.
