Ace of Spades Pet Thread

Welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Odds are you are in the midst of snow and/or cold. Throw that pet on you as a blanket and enjoy the world of animals.

A Little of This. A Little of That.

Pets! Emotional.h/t vendette

Most of us have brought back a pet from the vet's office after some type of sedation. If you haven't here is a look at the pets.

Travelling? Lonely? There's room service for that.

Someone's lost pet could be someone's dinner?

Hello:
Tutti Fruitti was a rescue from under a construction dumpster at about 5 weeks. We couldn't tell what parts were to be had, so Mom and I assumed it was a girl. When the beautiful tabby with the sweet face was about 6 months, we made the appointment for spaying. Dad had the honors of picking up and paying, and the vet came out and told Dad the good news was that it was only $40 instead of $120, the bad news was because the cat was a "he" not a "she"...Tutti is now 9 and takes my place on the couch, and is my laptop cat (that's a 13 inch MacBook he's planted his tush on).
Henrietta Hot Paws was a rescue from a small local group, chosen as a companion to Tutti. She was the smallest, thinnest 6 month old I had ever seen, and clingy as all get out. Her favorite place was tucked up against my side with her paws on me--she really hates cold feet and as a baby, she had really warm feet, hence the Hot Paws part of the name. My dad named both of them, so we blame him for the names. Tutti answers to his, she only answers to "kitty". The video is Henrietta helping me open my new Boll & Branch sheet set, and the other is where all cats hang out, in the bathroom when you are in it....
Nancy

Thanks for taking the time and effort to submit several emails. Nancy was having computer issues. We hope that your computer issues have been straightened out. It looks like these kittehs are completely and utterly spoiled.

I’ve been mostly a lurker for the past several years and have occasionally posted under “Just a deb”.
When you have had several pets over your life time there is always one that stands out - ours is Moose the Cat. He came to us quite innocently, brought him home as a kitten from a friends after bringing our family over to watch a Husker game (back when they used to win). Kids loved the kitty, so home he goes. He distinguished himself early on as a trouble maker. He ate half a stick of butter (pooped out the melted version), used my husbands workboot as a litter box, turned a bag of bagels to crumbs, licked the plastic wrap off a Birthday cake so he could eat the frosting. I got called home from work because the kids were frantic, Moose was foaming at the mouth, got into some Roundup and nearly died but rallied hard back to living. This became his thing, how many times would he escape death.
He got on top of my SUV and I didn’t see him as I left for work. He was clinging to life as I hit 50 mph and finally heard his screams. Got ran over, pilled on by a collapsing wood pile, picked up by animal control after being missing for 3 weeks, invited himself into neighbors homes, lounged in the middle of the street, trapped in the neighbors attic.
One of the most notable things he did in his later years was stow away in our camper on a very hot July day. We stopped about 2 hours into the drive to grab our groceries, I opened the camper door and he yelled, I screamed. He looked all sweaty and wild eyed. We had to keep him with us, too far to drive home. He entertained the other campers and was good about keeping close. Morning to depart he was no where to be seen, we searched for hours. Getting desperate, Husband remembering his old farm days popped the hood and there he was. Turns out he was stuck over the engine block of the truck. So close to death. Even in his elder years he always entertained. He made it a little over 20 years, a miracle in our eyes since he was a bit reckless in his younger years.

Thanks Deb. Quite the story. Another kitteh who was totally spoiled.

Hi All, longtime lurker Mike here -
Counter-clockwise from the top, this is Arrow, Gizmo and Shido. The picture was not posed, I walked in and found them this way, plotting their next big caper. Sadly time and age caught up with all three and they have crossed
the Rainbow Bridge to become the latest members of our Spirit Pack.
Arrow and Gizmo were co-Alphas of the pack, with Arrow being responsible for All Things Tactical, especially squirrel hunting, and Gizmo being the Master of All Else. Gizzy could hold a grudge like a pro. He would settle the score no matter how long it took and then grin about it. Shido's job was simple ... to be the sweetest kiddo ever. They were all very special pups. We were fortunate to have a Veterinarian who was willing to travel over 40 miles to our place out in the boonies in order to assist each of them with crossing over surrounded by the peace and tranquility of the forest rather than in a clinical Vet office.
Even though we now have a new 3-pack charging around the house we still miss these guys terribly.
Thanks for reading about them,
Mike

Quite the crew Mike. Thanks for sending in the story of the 3 amigos.

This is the appropriately named Loki. He’s roughly 25% Boxer, 25% Labrador Retriever, and 50% Great Northern Asshole. Squirrels are his nemesis and he smells like old cheese.

Love, Farmer

Happy Belated Holidays to you folks as well.

This our poor mistreated pup Ekolu, he keeps our house safe all week while we slave away at work. We LOVE weekends. Island Girl

Wow what a guard dog there Island Girl. We bet he is glad when the weekends roll around to. Thanks for the submission.

Do you have a photo or two that you wish to share with us? Please submit your photo, story and any other interesting pet tips to us here at petmorons at gmail dot com.

Have a great week.

42 Love the pics of pets after the vet! My dad was a vet, and anesthesia with animals is always tricky. You can't ask the animals if they're sufficiently alert enough after surgery to know if it's safe to let them go home.

When I was a teenager we had a clinic in our house and we kids had to answer the clinic phone on evenings and weekends. (This was back in the days before voicemail and answering machines. Since people knew they were calling our house, they'd call at all hours and it was either answer the phone or listen to it ring and ring and ring.) One Sunday afternoon a woman called to say that she had her cat put to sleep and now she couldn't wake him up. I was dreading having to tell her that being 'put to sleep' meant the cat would never wake up when she said, "Well, that cat is making a liar out of me! He just started walking around right now." I gathered the cat had been anesthetized for surgery, not actually 'put to sleep'. Good times.

That's probably your target demographic, Jewells. Can't envision something like that on a pit or a rottweiler . . . In fact, you might be able to market them to cat owners (not me, but plenty of insane people out there).

Did it impact your view of animals in any negative way?

My bff's father was a vet, and for some reason, it gave her an aversion to dogs...which made me think she was not gonna be my bff.

She's got dogs, cats and goats now. But the dog thing took having kids and a long time before she warmed up to them.

While walking our PWD (who will turn seven on Wednesday) this afternoon, for some reason or another the "pet shaming" themes on social media came to mind. You know of what I speak - take a picture of a pet, perhaps in the carnage it wrought while your back was turned, and label it with something that casts blame or shame on the animal (on the assumption, of course, that the animal would have the slightest idea to what you are referring).

Har-de-freaking-har.

It would do the owners of these creatures a world of good if their witty bon mots were replaced by one of two phrases:

(1) "my owner is an asshole" or
(2) "please rescue me, my owner is an asshole"

It might be nice if the GOPe can give us some non Mutt Rombley type primary choices in the future. I was despairing that Reagan would be the only candidate I voted enthusiastically for in my lifetime.

74 Since we live a little ways out from town, people dump their animals out here on occasion. That's how Tom Cat came to live here.

Tom Cat has a real sweet deal here at Casa H.

Currently, another cat is trying to horn in on Tom's living arrangements. He got into a fight with this other cat last night, and came into the garage and ate Tom's food.

We have a live animal trap we are going to set for this guy and take him back to town, close to a restaurant. He will find plenty to eat there and help out with the rat population.

Can't have my Tom Cat get hurt by some Siamese MS13 gangster.

80 Being a vet's kid - Out of five kids, I was the only one indifferent to animals growing up. When I was little we had a cat named BC, for Black Cat, and a collie named Odin. Odin was a great dog. My mother would let us kids play in the front yard and never worry about us because Odin would herd us like sheep if we got too close to the road. Then we added a Persian cat, Bluebell, which was officially my older sister's cat. When Bluebell had kittens, one of them became mine, named Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell didn't last very long, however. She met an unfortunate end in our neighbor's back yard. (We think she was chased by something and tried to hide in a plumbing pipe laying around. She got stuck and broker her neck trying to get out.) I was sad, but not traumatized.

After Odin, we had another collie, Sabrina. Sabrina was a beautiful dog, but she had an eye infection when she was a puppy, so her eye had to be removed, which is how she ended up at our house. I think most of our pets were cast-offs from my dad's vet practice. Sabrina was not well-behaved, however, and we kids could have taken better care of her.

After Sabrina came Toby, a schnauzer that my dad really liked, and Ziggy, a wire-haired dauchsund that was my younger sister's dog. Ziggy was a bit obsessive about my sister. He would zealously guard anything of hers and growl at you if you tried to come near her. When my sister wasn't around, I was his back-up girlfriend, which I did not like at all because he had really bad doggy breath. I can remember sitting on the couch watching television with Ziggy at the other end of the couch. After a while I'd realize that Ziggy had inched over to my side and was now reclining with his head on my shoulder. When I'd say something he'd just give me a "Now how did I get over here?" look.

Despite all these pets, I never truly became a dog person until my sister brought home two Maltese dogs that had been dumped in the park. I was skeptical at first, but now I can't imagine life without them.

102 It was great to reminisce about my childhood pets. I just realized I left out two poodles, Buffy and Fluffy, who came after Sabrina and before Ziggy and Toby. My mom had ideas about breeding poodles, but that didn't last very long. They were a pretty champagney/apricot color, but we had them at a time in our family life when nobody really wanted to be responsible for them, so they were more of a nuisance than a joy.

Looking back I can see that we didn't treat all of our pets right all the time. Not that we abused them, but once my mother started working and we older kids were involved with school, sports, after-school jobs, etc, nobody really looked after them properly. Sabrina, Buffy and Fluffy deserved better.

158 Re anesthesia. When I was a teen and we were at the ranch in West Texas, our Jack Russell (of course) led our other two other dogs into a charge on a porcupine. We were like, why couldn't it have been a skunk instead? Anything would be better. Having three dogs with mouths and throats full of quills overwhelmed us so we drove 20 miles into town to the vet.

You folks with vet experience correct me but I think it was ketamine they used, which causes a minority of dogs to yelp shrilly for what seems like forever as they come out of it. Of course two out of our 3 did, all the way back to the ranch.

That's awful what happened with your dog, Hadrian.

161 Hadrian, so sorry about your dog. After surgery is really a dangerous time for animals. The vet and staff have no way of knowing if the animal is really awake enough to be left alone.

Once my dad did surgery on a dog. Surgery went well, dog woke up and seemed alert so they called the family and told them they could pick up the dog in an hour. When the dad came, my dad went to get the dog and discovered the dog had died. My dad dreaded telling the owner, and worse, the dad had brought his two young daughters with him. My dad used his best bedside manner to break the news, everyone was very somber, and then one of the little girls piped up, "Now can we get a kitten?"

162 My cat Leo (Kira's brother) died at the vet's office during a routine checkup at age 7 in 2007. He seemed to be perfectly healthy at the time.

He collapsed in his crate in the waiting room. They tried to revive him, but couldn't.

This was his first visit to a new vet, the previous vet having retired. About all she could say was that he might have had a congenital heart defect that hadn't been spotted.

163 Getting ready to wean the colts. They are officially big boys now. I think if the moms were human they would be chugging Malox. Mrs Biteypants has ulcers again. That kids is a handful and she won't discipline him! Ugh permissive moms make buttmunch stallions. Well, his brother is gonna beat the shit outta him and teach him manners, then i have a big grey gelding who will do the same, after they are sufficiently weaned. Goody of course remains perfect. His mom is not permissive. Im gonna miss him when he goes. I have an awful cold right now. Ugh. Being covered in sympathetic orange cats is pretty nice, however.

165 My dog killed a fluffy tree squirrel yesterday, it happened really fast. She darted behind a bush and there was a commotion. When I realized what had happened, it was too late. Then, I watched the squirrel die. My feelings toward my dog are different today. Her interest in my neighbors' cats have taken a new turn. I have to be much more careful now.
