Ace of Spades Pet Thread, May 9

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.

Would you like a treat?

Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.

Nice rescue story

An Oregon woman lost her beloved cat on a Texas road trip. The online gaming community brought it back

Cherri Merritt thought she would never see her cat Tasha again after the longhair ragdoll mix went missing near Dallas, Texas on a cross-country road trip over seven months ago.

However, Tasha is now back home purring peacefully in Merritt’s lap after a twist of fate and a series of unexpected connections brought the cat back to Eugene.

Great story involving a lot of good people!

How to Draw a Cat

1. Find a picture of a skull-faced cheerleader waving giant leaves. There's probably lots on the internet.

2. Draw a rope connecting her ankles.

3. Draw a rope connecting her toes by going over her head.

4. Add two triangles at the top, then slightly bigger ones over those, and voila! A cat!

Thank you for the weekend threads!

Hi K.T.

This is my pup Whiskey staring at me from around the corner. So sad and forlorn he is. He does this every morning until I finish my first cuppa tea because that's when he gets his breakfast. Twenty minutes can seem like a lifetime to him, I'm sure, yet he perseveres daily nonetheless.

Love that photo! Such eyes! Such a face!

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had to let my Eskimo dog go over the Rainbow Bridge. Here’s my new pup, Luna, an 8-month old Eskie puppy. She was a stray who ended up in a kill shelter (and God, do I hate that term) but was saved by a foster mom. I drove to Alexandria to get her and now she is in her forever home. I’m a sad, rotten fellow, but having her makes me happy.

So happy for you and for Luna that you and a foster mom were able to rescue her! Great rescue photo!

The doves are back. This is hatching #2 for 2026. They are ready to fly the coop. Momma is currently sitting on two more eggs so look for two more hatching in late June. They love this dove box and it has been occupied every year since 2022. The nesting pair arrives in February and they leave in September.
