Ace of Spades Pet Thread, Valentine's Day

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.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Remember that goats love to eat roses - even the thorns! You can share some (unsprayed) petals with them - - along with a few violets.

Winter here in New England. A Snowjack

Jack, her dog, is wonderful.

AND another:

Their relatives live inside volcanos in Ireland. When their fur becomes too thick and scruffy and it becomes excessively warm in their dens, they erupt from the tops of the mountains and fly across the land covering the land in a thick dense fur called "tephra" that can be many meters thick. If they have inadvertently been fed Taco Bell in ritual food offerings, their shedding is called "pyroclastic flows" or "pyroclastic surges" depending upon the bean content of the offerings. The Irish have come to an understanding with these beings and have adopted them as "pets". They are, naturally, called "Irish Wolves Dread These Beings and Their Horrid Smothering Blankets" or by the shortened version, "Irish Wolfhounds". There are 72% more of these creatures featured in the book "Selinon" which must be true as it is clearly stated in the literature.

In Hawaii the ash is sometimes referred to as "Pele's hair" but the Irish know better. This is what they do with the fur. A picture is attached.

WOW. Amazing!

I downsized this a bit, so hopefully will work. This is Patsy, the latest cat. I estimate she's 5-6 months old and weighs 8 pounds. Went through the spay without problems and is recovering. She has taken to being inside pretty well. She loves my dog Jake but does not care for the other two cats.

Well, looks like Patsy is off to a fairly good start. Get those treats out when she's around the other two cats. Hope it helps. Thanks for adopting her!

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, February 7

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.
