Ace of Spades Pet Thread, April 18

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.

Ever met one of these? Or these?

Birdy is Mom’s youngest son’s dog. She has been taking care of her for 13 years ! !

Still beautiful. She told Emily, a young niece, in all sincerity that Birdy was, in fact, not a dog but a funny little girl. Emily’s confusion was charming.

RITS

Birdy does look like a sweet, funny girl. Love that photo and the story.

From Intrepid Liaison/Admiral Ackbar:

There has been some animal activity here as well. We found a dead opossum close to the house, and shortly thereafter, vultures came in.

Kinda intimidating . . .

A killdeer decided to make its nest right next to the walking trail. She doesn't like when people get near lol.

Of course. Heh.

With warmer temperatures come all the amphibians.

And look at this poor guy! A squirrel without a tail!

What an interesting collection of critters! I am sort of glad I missed the dead possum. There are some reminders in these photos that nature is REAL.

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, April 11

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.
