Meet The PetMorons

Hi, I've been lurking at AOS since the days of the Bush administration, but I've commented a whopping three or four times. I wanted to share a picture of my sweet, recently departed pitbull Ginger. She was diagnosed with a tumor in her lung last November and the vet did not think she was going to make it very long. The vet heard a heart murmur that she's never heard before, so after an x-ray revealed the tumor, we decided to treat it conservatively. Lasix for the heart problem and absolutely nothing for what was probably cancer. She did fairly well for a couple months, then she started having a really nasty cough. Went back to the vet, another x-ray showed the same size tumor, but some infection in the lung. Antibiotics and an opioid cough medicine did the trick. She managed very well on that regime until the beginning of this November. The night before this picture was taken, she was having so much trouble breathing that she stood up all night. She started off laying down, but I found her just standing in the living room, apparently not able to be comfy laying down. I found her standing in obvious respiratory distress three more times that night. I'm glad she made my decision easy. This picture is the last one I took of her, waiting to go in to the vet's office for the last time. The vet was probably as upset as me. After the fact, I got a card that they donated money in her name to the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary school. I don't know if that's common or not, but I think they loved my girl almost as much as I did. I've babbled long enough. Next time, I'll share pics of my kitties. Thanks, Melissa

Thank you Melissa for supporting the AoSHQ. So sorry to hear about your loss. Ginger sounds like a wonderful pet and will be missed immensely.

Dusty adopted us about eight years ago and has expressed his gratitude ever since.
His late brother was the good-looking one; both were about 17-18 pounds but Joey had a defensive end’s body while Dusty is more of an offensive lineman: somewhat flabby but there’s definitely some muscle under there. His coat is made of rather coarse material, the seams are a little too obvious, and he breaks more claws than any kitty we’ve known. He makes up for it with personality: a strong purr and an ability to fill and weight down even the biggest and strongest lap. And how many cats are able to kill a mouse just by sitting on it? (Yes, it really happened—this one he dispatched the usual way.)
[the moron known as] Otto Zilch

Dusty sounds like Super Cat. It appears that he is a menace to the nearby rodent population. Thanks for the submission Otto.

I trust dogs more than I trust most human beings. They don't lie on you and they don't cheat on you and they don't talk about you except to other dogs. My best boy Spencer this past weekend on the beach at Kalaloch Washington. Three days in the Hoh rainforest and on the beach.
Post Script
I love the pet thread. Thank you for the hard work you put into that posting each Saturday. You and KT are two of my favorites. Thank you. W.

Well W, I can't argue about dogs and trust. He's a beautiful dog and looks like he enjoys swimming immensely. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you.

Longtime lurker, even longer fan of the world famous AOS Weekend pet thread.
The chocolate lab is Roscoe, he is 11.
The Airdale is Amelia, she is 13
And finally the Shepherd, Lab, Greyhound? mix is Rocket- he is appx 18 months. Rocket belongs to my Neighbor, but accompanies us on most walks.
We haven't named the elk and the Turkeys, although they are in our yard so often we probably could
Love the food threat as well
Regards, Quilp

Looks like quite the group there Quilp. Thank you for your support and I'm sure the resident foodie says thanks as well. Appreciate your submission.

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving! A couple things besides salutations. As I mentioned, My Kids decided to adopt another mastiff. Here are some pics. Her name is Karma (two instances DO make a pattern) and the Grandkid is Spencer. Thy are exploring the jungle that is the back yard. And this is evidence that “Every Boy Needs a Dog. And Every Dog Needs a Boy”
Anyway, Salutations and the best of the day for you! - McGyver

Adorable photos you submitted Mac. I chose the one where there are no faces shown. Looks like Spencer and Karma are buds for life.

***

Here’s a couple pictures of our fur babies, Taz (the German Shephard) and Sammie (our wonder kitty). She’s not fat, she’s just Rubenesque. We’ve been lurkers for a long time, and love heading to Ace’s site for our daily dose of politics, the awesome and highly intellectual discourse of the horde, and, while we haven’t contributed, we still feel a bit like we’re part of the horde family. So, thanks for all you do!
Taz came to us by way of my brother, who was not able to take care of him – he’s 17 months old and we have teamed up with a behavior and dog trainer to try to curb his aggressive tendencies. When we got him, at 12 months old, he was extremely aggressive/fear of other dogs, and now he wants to go after anything that moves… So, we play with him in the back yard with his frisbee and ball, until we can resume our walks. The kitty, had developed a neurological condition relating to an infection she received in the kennel at the animal shelter when she was a few weeks old. She had been found climbing out of a plastic bag that had been thrown in the river, and has been attacking people ever since. She’s 12 years old now, and loves us, but hates everybody else. It really sounds like kind of a crazy household, but we absolutely love them, and hope you like the pics too. - Barbara

Barbara of course you are part of the Horde family. We appreciate your compliments. Thanks! Sounds like you have quite the pet family that keep you on your toes. Good luck with your pup Taz. Thank you for sharing with us today.

4 My toothless Calico has been catching young rats and mice, and then playing with them. Unlike my little black cat, she looses them after a while.

I will save the birds since they make such a racket dying, but I figure the cats are earning their keep killing mice. They might as well have their fun.

16 Can't remember the last time I was awake for PT live. I am so grateful for the hope and joy every week (even if tinged with sadness).

So, New Old Dog finally got to the vet and I got to tease youngest kidlet about her overfeeding the poor old dogs. Hah! Told ya so.

Old Dog and Old Cat are adjusting to New Old Dog slowly but surely. Old Cat was grooming NOD, so even thought the two bicker (okay, a lot of bicker) I was encouraged that they will truly become some kind of buddies; eh housemates, maybe.

Youngest grandkidlet is still playing with both Old Dogs, but now she is getting a bit aggressive. I'm glad I kept the playpen so everyone gets a time out.

27 I said in the gardening thread that it will likely be the SEC Champ, Clemson, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma.

At least right now. Of course if Georgia wins the championship I will expect the committee to possibly spooge over the SEC again and deny Oklahoma so they can have Alabama in again.

42 Glad to see that Gerard Van der Leun is getting a cat tree for Olive, the kitteh he adopted only two weeks before fleeing the California Camp Fire. He's lucky to have found a small apartment in Chico and is going to make sure Olive has something to call her own even though he'll have a lot more work to do to make his new place completely homey. But I have a feeling Miss Olive ain't complaining.

I really like it when I see folks on the weekend-feature threads -- the lurkers and rare commenters, but often long-time readers -- and to know it reflects a whole lot of "silent" readers and rare-if-ever commenters for the blog.

* waves to all *

Note to lurkers: Most of us were lurky, once. Understandable if you think the politics threads are too hot and heavy to comment in, or the library or chess threads are too highfalutin' hoidy-toidy... the pet thread is the perfect place to dip your commenting and photo-submitting toe in. The water's fine. Little bit of dog slobber. But fine.

I have a cute video clip but MisHum needs it as a yootoob link and I am not starting an account to post cat videos.

Well it's looking like that undefeated streak won't last the day right now. Teams outside of the Power 5 and Notre Dame really don't get any respect. It is a money game afterall. And even the sports media has this incredibly stupid belief that they need those power 5 teams to be the National Championship contenders, and not the lower conferences, because you know no one would ever want to tune in to see if the underdog can knock off the Goliaths and actually win it all... Why would that ever be compelling viewing!

My house is a mess, which I haven't yet had the ambition to clean up. I'm afraid a dog would make it even worse.

You don't need to own a dog. You don't need to adopt a dog.

You can though, volunteer to FOSTER a dog, when you're in town and not on the road, or Insom, as funds or schedules may allow.

Don't think you'd have to cough up for a pet deposit on your rent, if you've only got a "guest" dog in house for a week or two at a time, once or twice a year?

Might not be all the love of a forever pet...but, it's a good way to get your pet fix on, without making the full commitment and responsibility.

I have an 8-hour job, more like 9 hours away from home including the commute time. If I had a dog, I'd either have to keep him chained in the yard or indoors in a crate. I don't think most dogs would like either option.

When I lived in an apartment, my downstairs neighbor had a dog and she tried both methods. When he was outside, he barked incessantly and several neighbors complained. So she tried keeping him indoors in a crate. Then I was treated to the most heartwrenching barking, crying, moaning, and screeching I've ever heard. The poor animal sounded like he was being tortured. He was like an innocent man sentenced to solitary confinement and didn't know what he did to deserve it.

He was a friendly dog, but he couldn't stand being alone without human attention.

154 I don't see cats racing alongside each other for an extended period of time after a target. I think the only sort of competition for cats would be something like who is the best hunter?

Or just volunteer at a local no-kill shelter to walk or play with the dogs. Most shelters of this type are looking for people who can take some time to play with the shelter dogs even if they can't adopt. It's also a good way to get to know different dog breeds and figure out what type of dog might be a good fit for you if you are able to adopt some day.

And his reaffirmation with his humans, when he keeps going back to look at them. Saying: "Can we keep it?" "Is it for me?" "Thank you!" "It's everything I wanted!"

I'd like to see it voiced by the guy who did the "I ate it" dog video:

169 154 I don't see cats racing alongside each other for an extended period of time after a target. I think the only sort of competition for cats would be something like who is the best hunter? Have an arena, release a rat into it and an individual cat, and see which cat takes the least amount of time to dispatch it.

172 I'm ready to get another GSD. Not a white one this time, I've had two. The next will be a traditional black and brown one, like my first.

I liked having white dogs though because they are easier to see at night.

Posted by: freaked at December 01, 2018 05:10 PM (UdKB7)

173 So anyway, one day I took my neighbor aside and explained what was going on with her dog when she was at work. I wasn't really complaining about the noise; I emphasized that the poor dog was absolutely miserable alone.

Shortly thereafter, she told me she gave him to a friend who lived on a farm. It wasn't until some time later that it occurred to me that she might have had him put down and told me the story that parents sometimes tell their kids. But we lived in a semi-rural area and there actually were farms nearby. So I don't know.

Do it, Insomniac. DO IT! I'll be there. We can have a pleasant and enjoyable evening of anhedonia. It'll be just like when normies feel feelings, only not.

If you don't want to spend money on a hotel, I've got a room booked already, I can sneak you in after the screws do lights-out checks.

Seriously, Insomniac, there are no strangers at a MoMee (well at least no stranger than the commenters on a typical AoS post). You need to plan ahead, get your butt to NoVA, and attend the Fourth Irregularly Scheduled NoVAMoMee. I cannot imagine that you would not enjoy it, and bigly to boot!

I kind of hope Ohio State doesn't get in. They've had some big
struggles this year, and I'll happily take a regular Bowl game. But
then I figured they'd actually lose to Michigan based on their strengths
but then they went and embarrassed them so badly that my brother in law
filmed himself throwing his Michigan clothes into a fire and saying he
won't be a fan until Harbaugh is gone.

======================
The licensing division of the NCAA, and retailers everywhere, would like to thank your brother in law, and all those that feel similarly.

Because we know he will eventually return.

199 Melissa, I'm very sorry about Ginger. For a long time we had a vet who was very pragmatic about doing, or not doing, heroic medical things to save a dog's life.
Dr. M****'s philosophy was that as long as the dog is able to enjoy its food, and has some quality of life, you keep the dog going. But when the end comes (I once had a dog that was the most athletic I've ever had--at the end she found it difficult to stand up) it's an act of love to put them down. That doesn't make it any easier, and your heart is devastated when you have to do it. It sounds like you carried Ginger as long as she was able.

Soooooo, why aren't we writing "As we approach the Christmas season" instead of "As we approach the holiday season"?

Culture is, as culture does..... Politics is downstream of culture.
