Ace of Spades Pet Thread

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Escape the world of politics and current events. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Quite the life. H/T Jane D'Oh

The Basement Boys, Buddy (top) and Spot, both predict All Fools’ Day, April 1st. These formerly feral foes are shown here praying to the almighty heater for more food. - Bama Bubba

So they are hungry critters? They don't look appear to be suffering from malnutrition. Happy and healthy living the good life. Thanks for your contribution.

Also, for the next Pet Thread, please find attached a picture of Trixie (the original Schnorflepuppy, because she loves to sit in this chair and lick herself in places where she can't breathe, especially during WebEx meetings), giving the side-eye to a dangerous object which she realizes will become contraband under the Harris{spit} Administration.

Thanks for all your cob contributions! - Schnorflepuppy

A pup sitting next to a magazine is truly a PetMoron. Trixie sounds like a fun pup to have around. Thanks for sharing. And you are welcome.

Hello, it’s Otto Zilch again. I belong to Dusty, the AOS Pet Thread certified badass.
Dusty challenges you to find him in this picture!

I don't know if Dusty is a badass. But definitely the king of camouflage. Thanks for your contribution.

Hello Misanthropic Humanitarian,

I am an infrequent poster and go by the name of ptleahy; however, I have had a couple of photos of my dog, Big Poodle, posted on the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. When the weather gets warmer, Big Poodle enjoys guarding against the squirrel menace in our backyard. Big Poodle also likes to do it with class and style. We are finally coming out of winter in the Pacific Northwest, so he is looking forward to opening up the house.

Thanks for the pet thread, it really makes my weekend.

Well Big Poodle seems to be stylin creature here in this snap shot. We are happy to hear that he continues to keep your casa squirrel free. Thanks for your support.

Wanted to share some pics from the great 2021 Texas freeze. These are at my dad’s farm in Purdon, Tx last month. We worked 9 hard days keeping his babies alive. No sanitation, power or water for most of the time. We lived in my car for several days to keep us warm. Blackie and Sweet Pea are the horses and God willed us to keep them alive. Many cattle and Dallas the pup. I thank the Lord everyday they survived. I had knots in my stomach each morning when we went to check on them that we wouldn’t see anyone laying dead in the pasture ��❤️��. P.S. I’ll send an update on Mocha, Mindy and Domino. They’re were safe with my husband in The Woodlands, Tx. - Debbie

Fighting cold and snow is a challenge especially if one isn't use to it. No water even makes it tougher. Looks like you folks came through the Global Warming just fine.
As I write this your weather says it is 79. Thanks for sharing an interesting animal story.

I know, it's a bit early but what the heck. (User name NR Pax by the way.)

Since Duncan's picture was such a success, I wanted to share pictures of the other two Greyhounds in my pack.

First up is Kraken. He was returned by his first family and had been in foster care for several months as senior dogs are a tougher sell than younger ones. As you can see, he's quite willing to pose for pictures.

And this is Winnie. In addition to fostering, I also do volunteer work to help haul Greyhounds to their foster homes. She was on a haul and I decided that she was actually my dog (After I got the wife's approval.)

You have some nerve submitting photos of mistreated & abused spoiled dogs. It looks like they have the Life of Leisure there at Casa Pax. Thanks for the contribution today.

Hello morons with fur babies.
Long time lurker tghalvorsen here. This is Finnegan, a Silken Windhound. First pic is on our way back from Denver from the breeder, at 10 weeks. You can tell he’s a lover and still thinks he’s a lapdog (with my lovely wife). He’s a great traveler in our RV and is always alert and ready for the next adventure.

Well Finnegan is certainly a cutie. I don't ever recall meeting a Silken Windhound before. It appears he is quite the family member. Thanks for sharing.

Darley, the grand-dog. Whining at the window: "WTH? My Dad is outside without me?!" Onward, Java Joe

Hard for us to believe that a dog would whine to go outside. Do you believe this Morons or is Java Joe pulling our paw? Great photo, thanks for sharing.

My daughter was puppy sitting eight week old Olive the dog (puppy sitting, what can be bad about doing that?!) for a few days and her cat Ming came up to say hi. As you can see, Olive had not seen a cat up close yet. They did fine after a little get to know each other time. Mike S

Oh my goodness! What a priceless photograph!!! Ming was certainly brave and in your face with Olive. And no there is bad about puppy sitting unless you take it home with you! Thanks for sharing today.

Hey MisHum! This is a picture of our 4 latest additions to Shep's Place. Top left is Zoey. She just completed her heartworm treatment and is now free to be adopted! She's supposedly 10 but the vet says no way. More like 5 or 6. She's extremely smart and knows many commands. Top right is Gracie a black lab, German Shepherd mix. She's 10 and doesn't know the meaning of personal space! Bottom left is our dear sweet Jenny, the dachshund with many health problems but tons of spunk! She is 12. Lastly is sweet Viola who we just got. Not sure what she is.. a mutt I guess. She's around 9 or 10. Today she was very anxious but she'll settle in soon I'm sure. Thanks!
Jewells

Quite the collage of doggehs there Jewells. Bless you for the work you do. I hope those beautiful creatures all land forever homes in the near future. Thanks for your contribution today.

This is Dash, AKA The Best Dog Ever.

My Kids surprised me with Dash back in August of 2012 when I came home from a particularly bad day at work and was in a hurry to tell everyone about it. As I stood there on our chamois-colored hardwood floors regaling my then-Wife and three Kids (5, 13 and 15 at the time) about the day's awfulness, everyone had the goofiest looks on their faces and I couldn't figure out what was up, even though I looked all around me. Turns out this little guy was just sitting right next to me, blending in perfectly with the floor so that I completely overlooked him.

It turns out that Dash's arrival coincided roughly with my departure from the household, as my marriage was on the rocks and I was soon separated and then divorced. Dash was a very welcome addition to the house and he filled in a little bit of the hole that was left by me leaving, especially with my youngest Daughter. Whenever I would come over to pick her up for weekly visitation, never once did Dash miss coming to the door to have me pet him and scratch his ears.

Dash slowly went completely blind over the course of 2016 because of macular degeneration, which I am reliably informed is very common in Labrador Retrievers. Recently Dash has also suffered the indignity of being forced to relearn the layout of a new house, as my ex-Wife moved with my two youngest Kids to NE Florida in October last year to escape the insanity of Communist-governed Seattle.

The move was tough on him, being blind, but he has adapted very well and is thriving as if he was a young pup again. And, he gets to go to the beach about 3 times a week to bite the waves as they come in. As Dash approaches his ninth year, I can think of no better reward than the beach thrice weekly for a hound who is quite clearly The Best Dog Ever. Sharkman

Hopefully your claim of "Best Dog Ever" does not cause fisticuffs and mayhem here today Sharkman. We can certainly tell of your love for this K9. Thanks for sharing what must have been a difficult story to write.

Mis Hum,

Please accept one of these pictures of our rulers, Tasha the Siamese and
Jada the black rescue cat. - reedrick

Gladly accept your photos of your kittehs anytime. Just another Moron with a big heart to take on a rescue critter. Thanks.

Dear pet morons,

Long-time lurker here, Carlos in California, and the photo shows my five-week-old black female Lab (all Labs matter), Jill. She’s from Raney Ranch Retrievers in Santa Ysabel, California. My brother and I picked her from her litter-mate (I had second choice of black females) and she’s destined for their “Build a Gun Dog” training program. She’s the ground replacement for a wonderful Lab I trained myself, with all the faults you get from a enthusiastic but amateur trainer (me). Used classic book, Water Dog, and the original Jill’s breeding and love of hunting overcame my limitations. The new Jill is a ‘bucket list’ dog and will come home to Redlands, California, as a Started Gun Dog after nine or ten months of training. I’ll complete her training through Finished Gun Dog (hand signals and multiple blind retrieves) with help from the Raneys (breeders/trainersI). I am the primary care provider for a frail, but vibrant parent with limited mobility and we can’t have an untrained puppy underfoot, as charming as puppies are. Thanks for the Pet Thread. I didn’t qualify until yesterday after a gap of thirty-five years.

A couple of observations:
1) Congrats on your new family member after a 35 year wait. The math doesn't add up you only being 29.
2) What a wonderful bucket list to have a started hunting dog. That is cool.
3) She's cute and obviously a keeper, good luck with her over the years.
Thanks for telling us about her.

Well that wraps up a great Pet Thread. Thanks for all of the beautiful photos and stories.

If you have something you wish to contribute please submit it here to petmorons at gmail dot com.

God willing and the creek don't rise see you next Saturday. Have a great week!

MisHum, thanks for including our beautiful senior dogs. Rumor has it we may get another dachshund! Hopefully this one will be adoptable. I predict Zoey will be gone soon. She's just a joy. Viola is having a hard time adjusting, poor girl.

Thanxs MisHum.
Joe is my mix wire terrier and Jack Russell terrorist. He is well over 29 now (dog years) and the tree rats make fun of him. But he doesn't seem to mind. They make him feel like a pup again.
How the hell he can find some nasty stuff to roll in is beyond me.
Sigh.

19 Speaking of neutering your friends & relatives - how come is it than tranny dudes don't sell their chopped off ding-dongs to the tranny chicks? You'd figure there'd be an "upscale market" for chicks who don't want one made from a strip of buttskin, or however it is these butchers do their business.

42 My dog begs when she sees me. Staring is her style.
Now I occasionally blend a pitcher of smoothie. When she sees me drinking smoothie her begging gets kicked up several notches with touching me with a paw and whining.
So I explain that she's a dog, a carnivore, but she persists.
I don't get it.

he will squeak once and point with his nose to what he desires, food bowl. etc

he will squeak twice when he wants a walk

when he is bored, he will roll his squeaky ball underneath the sideboard and then point his nose towards it

otherwise, he is a wholly untrainable cur

72 I'm grateful to report that my Leo the cat is doing very well.

He's taking his heart meds with no real problem, and he's eating a normal amount for his weight again. Actually a bit more, which is good because he lost a bit. He's really become acclimated to mom's house, yet is still pretty terrified of her. He'll venture into the room where she's sitting, and she'll talk to him and he listens, but he won't get close enough for her to pet. And no way he's jumping onto her lap. (That's okay I'd rather not have him under foot with her still being mobile)

His brother Lucky is still at my house and really misses Leo, but I think Leo is loving all the extra attention he gets here to miss his boisterous brother!

80 Fabulous pet morons!
I had another lovely doggy week with Bogie, who is wonderful. He is starting in person dog school tomorrow to improve walking on leash and decrease jumping. Kid2 keeps sending me pictures of Russells who aspire to be kangaroos, we can't have that!

Dash is a great dog. He doesn't realize that I am about half an hour from seeing him again (and my two youngest Kids) for the first time since Thanksgiving, as I just landed in NE Florida. I will be taking him to the beach, I can tell you that.

82 Just got an update on Viola, our newest. She was really stressed the other day when I was there. Just running around and panting. She was in the kennel area but free to roam through that area and not confined to her kennel. She still was just not a happy girl. They moved her to the kitchen today so hopefully this will calm her down a bit. She's a sweet dog and I just think she misses her mama.

83 I did have one problem...I tried using Rusty's old bowl which had a picture of a cartoonish dog at the bottom. Bogie tied to get it and made a mess. Back to plain colored bowls. Oh, and he can unzip my purse. Cute, but naughty.

87 Conor and I were on the road on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and he insisted I stop to buy him some ice cream. The server gave him a very small scoop, and that's when the trouble began and is the reason I am late. Thank goodness the officer liked dogs!

89 My sweet Dorkie Dork (RIP my girl), my godkitteh Maceo the dogbear, and my new kittehlady Pretty Girl all cross their paws. My ex-gf called it simply "crossed paw" when she saw DD doing it. Maceo and PG also cross paws front-back not just front-front. I've not seen back-back crossed. It's really sweet when they cross as many paws as pawsible then reach out and touch one of yours.

91 Bogie sounds very smart, CN! So glad you got to have him.

Grateful for the pet thread, as usual. Still missing my old Angus, and the rest of my cats are, as well. I need to get another male, I guess, for my Linus boy. He misses his guy buddies; Angus is the second one I've lost since Linus came. I would love to find an orange tabby kitten, maybe half grown. Kitten season is coming soon

92 My pup Abby is slowly losing control of her back legs. She's a 13 y/o weimaraner and we are doing everything to help her. we have the ramp to get out of the rv and the brace on her back to help pick her up. All of our rv neighbors help with her, they help her come down the ramp and welcome her when she needs a break on her walk. She is my girl and I hate to think that she may be on her way to the rainbow bridge because she is so happy and loves everyone. But I know it's coming. Her brother died last year at this time, suddenly, and I pray for the strength to be help her as much as she has helped me.

94 Tux is doing well. I rotated his litter box cuz the access was partially blocked by the box of cat food and the # of poops on the floor was 1 out of the 5 days instead of 4 of 5.

Tux does not seem to drink plain water. He LOVES gravy from the canned food so I've been mixing water into that. It is such a change from Tommy who drank a lot of water (Tommy had kidney issues and needed a lot of water as well his special diet). Seems like normal amount of pee and no constipation for Tux so I think he is getting enough water with the extra thin canned food gravy. I'm not inclined to buy a cat fountain, since Tux doesn't seem to drink when I change out his water bowl for fresh water and he is cleaning up the gravy/water mixture. Toby (sharpei lab mutt) thinks it is awesome to clean up the few shreds of the canned food that Tux leaves.

95 What a wonderful collection of Moron pets! I must confess, Tasha and Jada are my favorites.

My thirteen year old tuxedo cat, Tiger, left me Tuesday to be with his sister, Rosey. He had failing kidneys and hyperthyroidism. Last week, he caught a head cold. It all caved in on him over the weekend. I called the vet Monday, thinking he still had a chance. I got an appointment for Tuesday. Tuesday morning, I realized he was too far gone. So I called the vet again, got in immefiately, and set him free.

As I was paying the bill at the reception desk, one of the clerks who has seen me countless times over the years told the other two ladies that I had had a whole bunch of cats at my bookstore. That's when I realized that Tiger was the last bookstore cat. First there were Sammy and Ella who presided over and were a major part of the insanity for thirteen years. Then Tiger and Rosemary, who were later joined by KatyDid. Tiger, Rosy, and Katy closed out the bookstore.

96 CN, most of them do well. She's the first that I've seen that was just almost in panic mode. I think it's pretty been recent that she was surrendered to the kennel and then we got her.

What does this have to do with pets?

I'd like to keep her in a leash and stroke her back from head to tail end.

107 That Hrothgar guy is lying. He left the server a paltry tip for my pup cup (which I thought a was fine serving). Hrothgar was the one that got served a small chocolate chip sundae and started the argument!

When Arizona the big red tabby part-Maine Coon used to sit with crossed front paws, I couldn't believe it. It made this huge shaggy tiger of a housecat look oddly delicate.

Our female Tuxedo, Midnight, doesn't "drink". She paws the water (we call it "going swimming") as if clearing pond scum, then licks water off her paws. She might spend five minutes "drinking".

Thursday the cats are going in for shots (Wolf the black) and grooming (Chekov D. Siberian). They may have to lion-cut Chekov to get the knots out of his fur; his undercarriage and his back legs have furry knots that he won't let me cut. No doubt he will look funny. I have lots of Rogaine, Hair Club for Cats, and Capillus jokes ready.

This is true in so many aspects of life, but it is especially true when you are given the temporary gift, and responsibility, of a fine pet.
Don't waste any of that time!

120 Going on vaca at the end of the month for 10 yays in toe Carolinas. We are using the Rover service (Air BnB for pets) for boarding our Miss Dolly. Already did the at his home intro a month ago.

Took Dolly to the groomer yesterday (the works plus tooth brushing). Things went well. She's been a yard dog, so getting her used to potty on the leash. She's 6 and a half yrs old and we're pleased she's transitioning so quickly.

122 Regarding the crossed paws....at casa Jason we have a rescue Whippet/Coyote mix ( at least that is what we think) that rests with crossed paws. He was my Dad's, but when my dad got too sick to live at home, we had to place over a dozen dogs. We wound up with JD, (Jumpy Dog). I HATED JD, but got stuck with him after being pressured by my daughter and wife (beer was involved). Long story short, JD turned out to be the "Best Dog Ever".......Jasonj

126 Never forget the accessory dogs that Paris Hilton had. She had a dog for every outfit she wore. What a terrible waste of a beautiful pet. Sort of like having to live in the WH where no one wants you. At least one of Bidens 'dog's' found a way out by biting someone.
