Ace of Spades Pet Thread, August 1

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.

Scroll down in the thread for more exacting information about color sensitivities in various species. But this gives you an idea why hunters often wear orange.

This might be the craziest animal fact i’ve ever learned https://t.co/ua8O9Wfq5q

Lurkers and their dogs

Hi K.T,

Very long time lurker from Australia here.
Here are my two Frenchies, Peggy and her little brother Louis. Louis is the guy with the beer and he, sadly, really is a moron. They love cuddling up together when it's cold down here in Australia.

Peggy and Louis are wonderful.

These two are ying and yang.  Tory, the white one is a pure breed husky.  Chill and calm.  Moon, the black one is a 4 time returned to a shelter adoption because he's kind of a lot to handle.  Loves to eat drywall.  Best buddies and no class envy here.

Wow. Great to hear about buddies with different personalities getting along so well with each other. About the drywall eating: could there be an iron deficiency?

Here are some recent RtC pics in case folks are starving for images. I know his fans are this close to being infected with rabies. So I do my part.

1. Here he is looking imperial.
2. Here he is looking tired of all this.
3. Here is where I discovered that, behind my back, he decided to go into business as a contractor. I've blurred the phone number in case some naughty types wanted to do mischief.
4. Here he is Giving the Look.

Thank you for the weekend threads!

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, July 25

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.
