Ace of Spades Pet Thread

***

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Join the festivities. Forget about everything else for a couple of hours.

A Little of This. A Little of That.

Am I doomed to hell? I laughed out loud.

A couple of submissions from our pal redc1c4..........

Meet The PetMorons

2 year old Bogie and Bacall. Hard to believe they are brother and sister. - Duane

Well there isn't much for resemblance. Still they are neat looking cats and that is a cool photo. Thanks for sharing today.

Misanthropic Humanitarian –
This is our 2yr old cat Dini (Houdini) showing how she’s “Hidin’ from Biden”.
Seriously, she has been a great addition to the family. Full of energy and loves to stalk and play hide -n- seek. Fenway, our Flat-Coat Retriever mix has a love/hate relationship with her. - Our Country is Screwed

At the moment that photo was taken it appears they were in "Toleration Mode". Dini sounds like one joyful critter. We are glad you took the time to share with us. Thanks.

This was my cousin's dog, Maverick. He passed about a month ago. One of the most intelligent dogs I ever met. I always dogsit when my cousins go away(they have three others).
Mavy's first year was difficult because he was so stubborn. But, the rest of his sixteen years, he was a terrific dog who absolutely loved being around people.
Love the Pet Thread! - Unkaren

Maverick certainly looks like a big sweetie in that photo. Stubborn? Nah thats just a puppy. So sorry to hear of his demise.

(Schotzie)

(Daphne, Spock, Jethroe in back)

I am just a lurker, but I cannot wait for the pet thread every Saturday. This is Schotzie. She is my number four shepherd(another rescue). I had to have my cat Schrodinger put to sleep, and this big girl came along to fill the void. I have previously posted Spock, Jethroe and Daphne, and thought I would share my pretty, black girl. She is a very focused tennis ball hound and is faster than Jethroe. Neurotic and clingy as only a GSD can be, I haven't been to the toilet by myself since I got her. Thank you for the pet thread, it makes my Saturday happy and sometimes brings tears to my eyes. - Robert

Well Robert, it certainly appears you have your hands full with 4 beautiful GSDs. Sorry to hear about Schrodinger's passing. That is such a tough road to travel. I'm happy to hear you enjoy the pet thread. Thanks.

Hello Mis Hum Welcome back.
I offer this submission from my youngest daughter, Laura, who lives in Arkansas.
Lupa is a Husky/American Eskimo mix who was acquired from a family that was downsizing. This is her story.
“I had to put down our family dog at 13, and I was broken-hearted. After a month, and meeting a lot of different rescue dogs, I found a family on a re-homing group with a big shepherd. After determining that their dog would be too big for my duplex, I was about to leave and the couple said, “well, we really need to downsize to two dogs, so if you need something smaller, we have her”, and out came Lupa (then Tink). After a rough first couple days, she has become a truly loyal companion and best friend. I bring her to work every day and she loves going for walks by the lake." - Pete Seria

If they changed your name and had that sparkle in your eye you would be a difficult creature as well. Cute photo, so happy to hear that your daughter was able to find a companion. Thanks for sharing.

Hello from smokey Oregon where prayers for firefighters and burned communities are gratefully received.
Sending this in case it is postworthy.
The reviews on Amazon are a hoot.
Thanks for the PT, - C for C&C

Of course it's post worthy. We don't get cats reading books often sent in. Thanks for sharing and prayers up for the fires to cease.

Hey Mis-Hum, I'm the guy in 2018 that sent you stuff about Piper The Airport Dog-Traverse City Michigan, that had recently passed on.
Well, that dirty bastard cancer also took out my Springer BuddyBoy last week at age 10. Found a hip tumor on him when we could finally get his hair cut. Did surgery, but it was a fast mover and was just too late. (thanks loads Gov. Grindle Whitless for shutting down groomers-might have caught it) He was a GREAT DOG, loved every human, but kept deer and other varmints out of His Yard. I might have sent a pic of him before along with the quip, "This is my yard, there are many like it, but this one IS MINE" We live in the woods of Northern Michigan, left him outside during the day when we went to work, with no fence, and he Never Left The Yard-Never. Mrs. Realanator misses him horribly, as he was her faithful companion, in any and I do mean any weather on their daily walks through our woods. He is and shall be sorely missed. My nic is Dandor the Realanator when I comment.

Dandor, I'm a sucker for a photo with a pet and a child hanging together. Tough choices you provided to choose from. So sorry to hear about your pup. What a tough way to go. We appreciate your contribution today.

***

Here's a photo of the dog we got Thursday. Her name is Lucy, and according to the shelter, she's 7 years old. They also said she's a chiweenie, but I don't believe it, having had dachshunds before. A Chihuahua/MinPin cross I'd believe easily, thought.
Personality is great, very friendly though a bit shy at the moment (probably due to new surroundings). She'll have her first-ever vet appointment Wednesday. Probably even more expensive that the Sunday Book Thread, but the little sweetie has already wormed her way into my heart. She was raised in an apartment, and loves our fenced back yard! - Empire1

Congrats on your new addition of Lucy. Aren't fenced in yards the greatest? Here's hoping many happy years with this lovely dog.

***

Meet Pepper. She came to us a few weeks ago. Since we live outside the city limits, sometimes people will abandon their pets out here. That's our source for kitties.
We lost our beloved TomCat earlier this year when he was hit by a car, so we needed a replacement.
Pepper is a sweet little girl, very affectionate.
She also likes to be fed twice a day. She must have gone hungry for a while.
We feel very fortunate to have her. - ALH

Sorry to hear about TomCat's passing. But happy to hear you have a new addition to the ALH household. Just remember all Black cats matter. Thanks for the good news today.

***

As always you folks have demonstrated your love for pets and the pet thread. Thanks so much for making it a success.

Do you have something to share? You can reach out to us at petmorons at gmail dot com.

Have a great week.

11 Sad because we are on hospice care for Cinnamon. She is still awake but not eating for over a week or drinking . Wife has used a eye dropper to get some water in her. She is awake but hardly moves. Just visiting often ( she is down in basement) and give her head scratches. She is 19 1/2 so has had a long good life. Her sister died May 2017.

16 I talked to my vet Monday about the tooth extraction for Gary. They said his breathing is fine. They gave me antibiotics which we'll finish tomorrow. I'm taking him in on Monday to have it done. This will work out a lot better since I can contact them if there are any problems. I just hope it goes smoothly.

17 My Rusty's health issues continue. Seems the heart failure precipitated by the Ehrlichiosis is going to be an ongoing problem. Currently on Vetmedin and lasix and more comfortable. Still, I want to slaughter every deer I see, bastards did this with their damn ticks.

20 And it's virtue signaling hogwash for the Twitter clown to say, "As an adoptee I want to know about her adoptions and how the kids have been treated since then."

27 Skip, you and your wife sound like the best for cherishing Cinnamon through 19-1/2 years and no doubt she wants to stay just a little bit longer with you before she can say goodbye.

28 I'm so sorry, Skip. I always love your early morning reports of coffee and lap cat. Little Cinnamon sounds like a lovely kitty. Prayers up.

36 Thanks again for the Pet celebration, Mis Hum. A nice relief from the world.
Our almost 16 yo Siamese, Mia, has been fading. Stayed at the animal hospital all last weekend and we just couldn't pull the plug. We took her home expecting her to pass soon.
She's just not ready to go quite yet. She's out on the screened in porch with me enjoying the Fall leaves blowing. She actually ate a spoonful of food and still drinks water.
We know it's going to be soon, but, just like everything, she's doing it on her schedule.
Damn Fall pollen.

Posted by: RI Red at September 26, 2020 03:32 PM (uykKQ)

37 Pepper looks just like my Boo but a little more filled out.

Boo showed up here in August of last year, all of eight weeks old. By eleven weeks or so she was Patrolling Her Territory. By January she was killlng rats and pigeons, but mice are still a work-in-progress for her.

I think I've talked about her here before. I try to keep her in at night because of owls and other predators, but during the day I have to let her indulge her instinct to survey and rule what she surveys if I want sleep that night.

I hope you experience as much joy with your cats as Sam and Ella gave me and my customers. (Yes, there is a horrible pun in there. #1 son was working in a restaurant when they were born on the foot of his bed. And I am happy to say they never spent a minute of their lives outside of the family.)

48 RI Red, sometimes you just need a little more time. It's okay. I did that with the best cat ever and had another week with him before I had to let him go.

Posted by: Notsothoreau at September 26, 2020 03:50 PM (YynYJ)

49 Yeah. Lucy was $25 to the shelter, about $275 for her vet appointment. (Not that bad really, since I got her a year's worth of Heartgard and a Seresto flea collar in addition to the checkup, prescribed meds, and shots she needed), but still pricey.

Posted by: empire 1 at September 26, 2020 03:53 PM (vluYu)

50 My dog gave me a minor scare this.
I threw her part of a bun with a chunk of meat. It appeared to grow straight down her throat. She didn't gag or choke but she sat there totally motionless with her mouth half open. I was worried and very relieved when she started chewing.

Posted by: Brother Northernlurker just another guy at September 26, 2020 03:54 PM (bFWRI)

It only takes one gene from one parent to do that - Cats have a gene called "Dominant White" that blanks them out entirely. Underneath they still carry all the color and pattern genes and can pass them on to kittens

58 Afternoon, pet people,

A handsome group of perps today! (Oh, they may look innocent, but every one in this lineup will probably cause, or has already caused, trouble!)

Bogie and Bacall -- a good pair of names for the brother and sister. Bacall I presume is the white one? She looks much like Miss Linda's Annabelle.

ALH, Pepper looks like she is going to be a handful. In my experience, though it's limited to 2 samples, black cats are the most easygoing and adaptable of all. The late Marie-Antoinette, a black medium hair, was the smartest cat I've ever known.

65 Skip,

Sorry to hear about Cinnamon. When Arizona the part-Maine Coon was getting ready for his last voyage in '99, the vet gave me enough warning so that we had another week together. When I got back from saying goodbye to him that last evening, I wanted to shoot the noisy people thumping around upstairs. Good thing I didn't have a gun, I guess.

RI Red, the same thoughts to you about Mia the Siamese.

That Rainbow Bridge meme was around even back then -- I'm sure it had been passed around in print form long before that. Hang on to that thought.

At least you can be there for them. I've had a couple pass away overnight at the vet, so they were alone. Those haunt me yet.

71 Skip and RI Red,

What I did to commemorate Arizona's passing was this. If you contributed $50, the local shelter would do a lucite plaque for you with your pet's name and an epitaph, up to 50 letters I think, and mount it on their entry hallway. I did a variation on Heinlein's comment about the cat in The Door Into Summer: his name and dates, then: "I handled quarters & rations; you handled the rest." His ashes went up into the mountains among the bobcats.

Maybe you can do something similar for yours.

89 Lucy the kitty was my constant companion during chemo. I can't imagine how hard it will be to let her go. She's only 7 or so. Hopefully I have another 10 years with her.

Our fur friends are proof God loves us and wants us to be happy.

I suspect all house cats believe deep in their hearts that they are really lions or tigers or pumas; they just haven't reached their full growth yet.

That said, I'd be pretty nervous around a big cat like that.

91 Oldcat: Yes, I know about that dominant gene. My Himalayan's first mother bred and showed Himmies and explained it to me. We always wondered what Sam's white fur was covering. There were five kittens in that litter, one long haired white, one short haired white, and three gray tabbies. Also, many decades ago, I had a little long haired white cat named George. Half the year, she had a gray spot on her forehead, the other half of the year she was completely white. Pat (my Himmies first mother) thought George's white was covering black.

Age 7 is just a mature adult in human terms, about age 35 (1 cat year = 5 human years, I am guessing, as cats tend to live 15 and humans 75). Lucy has a ways to go yet.

Linda said that Arizona at age 15 would do the same thing as this mountain lion, sit by the door and wait for me to come home. He liked her fine, but apparently preferred me. (He should have. I'd been the only consistent thing in his life since he was 6 weeks old.)

Of course AZ was only about 12 pounds, not the size of a puma.

98 It's why we recommend pets to people that are alone. They give you love and companionship. It gives your day structure and someone to care for. It makes a huge difference in your mood.

114 My cat Dexter gets kibbles in the morning. Sometimes nature calls me at 4 am so I answer the call, and Dexter thinks that is his kibble time. And it had better be, because I ain't getting back to sleep w him purring all over me, loving up all over me, licking my hair.
So 4am is feeding time. Then we both get back to sleep.

My vision is that my cats will continue their personality traits when they get to cat heaven. Marie-Antoinette has probably intrigued to get herself crowned Queen of All Cats.

When I meet Arizona at the Rainbow Bridge, he'll no doubt trot up, bump my leg with his head, and meow imperiously -- "Where've you been? When's dinner?"

I learned long ago that if I made the mistake of feeding Marie-Antoinette the Smart Black Cat at 5 am, the next morning she'd yell at 4:30.

131 Does the Horde know....can dogs start to Sundown like Biden?

My pup Logan has been acting oddly, mostly at night. He actually bit my head several times after growling at me, which is...new.

He's a Rottie and he's 8 1/2.

Sometimes he looks at me, I think, like he doesn't know me.

It worries me.

132 On my back porch, there is a small cabinet with lots of little wooden boxes -- too many, if the truth be told. My kids have orders to scoop a little bit from each box and mix them in with me when the time comes. I'm not going without them.
