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.

From MTF: Action movie stars debate - - are you a cat or dog person?

My #1 sons kitten, Pippin. He's so happy wearing his Seahawks jersey for the Big Game.

Pippin . . . A great cat, ready for the game!

This is Violet the new addition to our household. We picked her up 2/11 from a breeder in MO. She will be our last puppy since Mr nec and I are over 29 and puppy raising is a young person's sport.

We wanted a pup from a reputable breeder since our last dog the Lily beagle had many health issues in her time with us. Violet travelled by air on her trip from MO to MT and was perfect little girl during our 3 1/2 hour layover in Dallas and on both flights. The last flight into Missoula was 3+ hours and she slept the entire time during both flights.

She's been a joy although we're struggling with a bit of potty training since she enjoys pooping inside, especially on the handmade cotton area rug in the eating area. Yes, the rug has a new home for the duration of the puppy training time.

We puppy proofed the house and forgot about the fenced yard which is typically covered by snow in February. We've scrambled to remove or cover many things that she just loves to rip up and eat.

She loves the bed that we purchased for Lily that supposedly helps reduce stress and she sleeps there or in our laps. I have a warm puppy in my lap right now and yes I'm wearing pants, I'm ready for the book thread.

Violet is precious.

Hi - just wanted to send in my latest Charlie pic - he just came back from the groomers (I know, I know) and just LOOK! He's now sporting a fancy new George Washington hairdo! Huzzah!

Love the photo! Happy George Washington's Birthday Month!

Hello, K.T.,

Here is a pic Linda snapped of a goat who was participating, though not without reservations, in the Krewe of Barkus parade last weekend.  He was trotting along with the dogs, Linda tells me, but then decided, "I'm not going any farther right now," and plopped himself down in the street.  After a few minutes' rest, he was willing to get up and proceed.  I guess that's the nature of goats.  He's a handsome fellow in any case.  If he were a cat, we'd call her​ a calico.

Barkus, as I mentioned last week, started in 1993.  It parades through the French Quarter on the Sunday prior to the Sunday before Fat Tuesday, and it's always fun.  Themes in the past have been "Jurassic Bark," "Welcome to the Flea Market," "Joan of Bark," and "007: From Barkus With Love."  This year's was "Wicked and Wagged."

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.
