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.

Lemurs on Labor Day

Lemur’s version of yoga is called sunning.

During this behavior, which helps them warm up after a cold night, ring-tailed lemurs sit upright with their arms and legs outstretched and their bellies facing the sun to absorb its heat

A good mama

Baby orangutans don't know how to climb right away; their mother teaches them.

This is why the mother's role is so important in all species, including orangutans.

Hot Tennessee greetings! It's been a couple of years, and Henry is 8 now. He's doing well enough after his gall bladder removal, just takes a liver support supplement and only approved food and treats. Here he is in opposite modes - elegance and total abandonment to a vacation nap ;)

The pet thread continues to be a welcome diversion in these crazy times! Thanks!

Gall Bladder Removal! Well, Henry looks fine in his "elegant" mode. Hard to tell in his "abandonment to nap" mode. I think I would love to meet him.

My dog Daisy left us this past April at the age of 13. She was a very good girl and greatly missed.

I love that photo. It looks like she loves you, too. Thank you for letting us get to know her a little. So sorry that she is gone.

Cherished Pet Morons

At present, I have three cats (plus a shy feral outdoors which accepts food every morning) and one dog. The main cat is Prince Fluff the Magnificent, a long-haired totally white cat with one blue eye and one gold. He is one of the sons in the first litter produced by my daughter's white Siamese, Miso. We allowed Miso to have three litters sired by Augie-Doggie (a ginger and white male, rescued from the streets after being dumped). All of Miso and Augie's offspring save Prince went to live with various authors of my acquaintance and a selection of author's friends.

Attached is a picture of Prince, and of my surviving dog, Benjamin. Benji was also rescued from the street; a catahoula hound mix, who bears a resemblance to my childhood family dog, Punchy. Benji also knows who is boss in the household - and it's not him. In the second attached picture, he is on the sofa being intimidated by three kittens of Miso's last litter.

I post as Sgt. Mom.

What a fine collection of Pet Morons, and a nice story about some others, as well!

Great photo from Hrothgar. Any guesses on the exact species of bird this is?

Morning KT!

This guy actually isn't my pet, but I did spot him on a trip out west when Nebraska was still entirely engulfed in flame.

No way in hell I was gonna cross into his territory to get close to him, though..

Thanks for the thread, and I lurk as Xenophon.

That is a distinctive and dramatic photo, even if it isn't a close-up. Thanks for sending it in.

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, August 29

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.
