Ace of Spades Pet Thread

(H/T CBD)

***

Good afternoon and Happy Labor Day Weekend to you. Welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. We are thankful for you stopping by today. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

A Little of This. A Little of That.

Who knew snakes were party ~~animals~~ reptiles? H/T redc1c4

First there was the "Crazy Cat Lady" meme. Now we have the "Crazy Dog Man".

Meet The PetMorons

For some reason the dogs like to bring their toys into my shop and chew them up. Then they wonder why I am scolding them. - Alan

We can see the fear in their eyes. Hope you are happy with yourself and your meanness to them. Great photo thanks for your contribution today.

Hi there:
Have sent pics of Lily the Sheltie and Pinky the Silky Terrier before, not long after Pinky got added as a new pack member.
Just found out Miss Pinks has arthritis in her left leg and starting to get cataracts, but nothing slows her down from getting her snacks and car rides.
She and Lily have become doorway buddies and sun buddies as of late, and Lily has finally stopped getting Pinks in a corner and slapping her around with Sheltie derp, so maybe Pinks has been a good derp-reducing influence on Lily.
Always love the pet thread!

Quite the combo you have there jerake75. They certainly appear to be the best of buds. Thanks for sharing today.

AND

Hello,
They have been featured before, but here are more pictures of everyone’s favorite Savannah Cats, Sabi and Kovu. Kovu is helping with a ceiling fan installation and Sabi is doing what he does best, being ridiculous.
Still lurking and posting occasionally as Piper.

Thanks for submitting such neat photos. A ladder climbing kitteh is a useful pet to have. And so is the goof ball. Thanks again.

Corbin

Thanks for the pet thread each week. This is West, and I post occasionally as - West. Been hangin' around the AOS HQ for quite a while.
Corbin Dallas, our first Wheaten Terrier, now playing in the fields angelic, was our companion and friend for 14 years. Corbin loved his toys and had favorites, although he would occasionally, inexplicably, turn on one and rip it to shreds. He would chase a ball all day until his heart burst, although my arms always gave out first. A very sweet and loving dog, I was glad my kids got to grow up with him around. He was also dumb as a post, in an endearing way. He was almost 6 years old when he finally figgered out leash topology, in that you had to come back the same way around the tree as you went. What a maroon, but we loved him dearly. I sent the before & after pictures as amusement. I used to shear the little bugger at home (money was tight back then), so I was inspired to document the practice, since it changed how he looked so dramatically.
Logan, our second Wheaten (since the first one worked out OK), now 7 years old, a bit smarter than Corbin, has no interest in balls or fetch. Null program, he just doesn't get what you want him to do. Main enemies: lawn service guys and FedEx deliverymen. If he got out, he'd certainly lick 'em to death (he has met the lawn guys, they are buds, but still barks his head off when they are here). Logan has some kind of food allergy where he gets progressively sicker when fed any kind of food prepared for dogs until he can't keep anything down. This started when he was about 10 weeks old, and we were frantic for a while because he really was not getting any nutrition at all. Eventually I figgered out that plain baked chicken and rice didn't set him off and he has been eating that for his whole life. He gets treats, though, bully sticks and rawhide, and people food (except for legumes) doesn't set him off. Cooking for a dog is a real PITA, but in for a dime, in for a dollar, I guess.

Both Corbin and Logan have retained their puppylike enthusiasm for life, Corbin right up until the end, and I hope the same for Logan.

Handsome little terriers. From the sounds of it there is no shedding but the occasional groomer in their life. Both dogs sound like wonderful companions. Thanks for sharing today.

AND

These are my two 1 year old long hair dachshunds Bruno (Enjoying his My Pillow pet bed) and Daisy (a mini). They exemplify the Ace of Spades moron lifestyle. -Mark

Great looking pooches who definitely have the Moron life style. Are you sure that's a My Pillow pet bed and not yours? Thanks for sharing.

***

Picked her up at a shelter a few months ago. She has become a loyal and loved member of the family. - Don

Congrats on your new addition! She certainly seems serious. We are happy to hear she has a new forever home. Thanks for the happy story.

***

We had our pasture cut this week. This attracted a few red tail hawks for mice hunting. I took this picture of one sitting on a hop pole through a binocular lense. S.Lynn, Idaho

Yes, we encourage photo submissions of God's creatures. Pretty niffty photo you took there. Through a binocular no less. Good job and thanks for sharing.

***

MisHum,
Here is a picture of Panzer patiently waiting while his dad takes a picture before he gets to chow down on his 10th-birthday hamburger. He is still going strong, and he is only slightly cranky when critters like squirrels, bunnies, foxes, and deer invade the back yard.
Thanks for always keeping us entertained with the cutest pets in the community. It's a wonderful antidote to the stuff usually floating around the web!
Best, Ballonmann

My, my. Panzer is one really trained well doggeh. Waiting for you to take a photo while that burger is there. Good job on the training. Thanks for your kind words.

***

Thank you to everyone who filled up the old In-Box this week. If we didn't get to your pet be patient we will.

If you have something you wish to share you can reach us at petmorons at gmail dot com.

Have a wonderful and safe Labor Day weekend. See you next Saturday.

4 Bogie is loving the cooler mornings and we've increased our walking. He enjoys it so, especially barking back at the "window barkers" at 7AM.

When I got him, I did not expect him to be unhappy at 75 degrees, but he is. This morning it was 55 degrees and he was thrilled. Our AM walk was 3 miles

5 On the topic of hawks, we have a nest somewhere on the property as I hear them often. We also had a sharp decrease in squirrels.

Happily, I saw a scarlet tanager today. I haven't seen one here in years.

9 A week ago I was a bystander here. Today I am a dog mom. We are in the process of adopting a beautiful lab/golden mix from a local rescue. She is 4 and her original family started traveling a lot and kenneling didn't agree with her so they "surrendered" her. Hard to understand, but we were extraordinarily lucky to find such a great dog at a rescue. She was reportedly stressed when we got her on Thursday, but is now happily passed out in front of our fireplace. We are all of us truly blessed to get together.

20 we had Abby to the vet this week because she was still peeing a lot of blood. the vet took the specimen I brought with us and said she still had lots of bacteria and also had lots of bladder crystals. He xrayed her bladder and said her kidneys and bladder looked ok for her age, no tumors or stones. So we are on Rx dog food only and back on antibiotics. He told us it is a long process with these crystals and to keep them from turning into stones, she had to eat only the dog food and lots of water. She's not happy about that but otherwise, she is still happy and still wants to lay in the grass and let the sun shine on her.

24 Speaking of hawks -

The lovely and observant Mrs naturalfake upon returning from the grocery store this week excitedly telling me we had a hawk next to our house.

I went out and sure enough, there was a young hawk casually taking his ease in our shrubberies. The Mrs thought this a sign of good luck and we both hoped he'd stay around cuz the one thing the Biden economy has brought us an abundance of is squirrels.

We haven't seen him again, however I've noticed decreasing sightings of squirrels. So, our lucky hawk may still be around!

Posted by: naturalfake at September 04, 2021 02:23 PM (5NkmN)

25 Thank you for the great pet photos, and critter photos. Really enjoy them.
Last winter had a couple huge trees fall, one of my neighbors trees on my house, one of my trees on the neighbors shed. So just completed some preemptive tree felling.
Seems in my experience, after labor day, fall just arrives-sometimes like a light switch. So I better organize the garage and shed etc for the winter.
Take care of the puppies and kitties and critters. They bring a lot of joy.

You may know already, but we lost Peanut, who was featured here a couple of weeks ago, early last Sunday morning. He declined rapidly and at about 2:30 AM I took him to the emergency vet. While I was waiting in the car with him for the technician to come out, he died quietly.

In a way, it was better. Had they taken him inside I don't think I would have been allowed to be with him. But I was nearby and he knew I was there in his last moments.

This one hit hard. He was a sick boy the last year, but he bore all his problems without complaint. His quiet dignity made him extra special to us. Never a show dog but everyone's friend.

Thanks. (BTW, he doesn't do those, not his thing). Doesn't like being picked up. Will come to you if he wants to be scratched or petted. I think he probably was feral at one point, and his previous owner(s) fed him from the table, thus he always tries to steal people food. Most I do is cut up a small bit of meat from my meal into tiny pieces and leave it in his bowl. Wants to go outside to eat weeds and grass so he can puke. But he's been OUR cat for the last two years after he adopted the older boy (he chose the boy, not the other way around).

Perhaps the Vet can prescribe some Steroids. This won't cure the cancer, but will slow down the growth of the tumors (for a while) and give your cat some more time.

This is what happened to the last cat I lost. She was such a character, and had her for 13 years, since she was found as an abandoned kitten.
Broke up prednisone kitty tablets and fed them to her with cheese (she loved cheese).

108 Hey, all,

Thanks to those who've asked about the cats on our sojourn to deepest Alabama. Wolf, the big black younger cat, adapted to the hotel room in an hour and is even more affectionate than usual. Chekov, the older one, has not adapted. He's hiding curled up under the armchair in the room. He has been coming out a little more, and he must be eating and drinking -- the litter box holds the evidence. But he wants nothing to do with his new environment. I don't know how to coax him out. On the other hand, it's only been since Tuesday. And he spend nearly 2 weeks under my bed when I first adopted him in 2010. So maybe this is nothing to be worried about. Ya think?

Said queen is not happy. Kitten wants to play. Kitten is not put off by hissing.

Thanks to you, Fen. The car ride was no picnic for him, but he threw up a little in the carrier, and rolled in it (not his fault). So when we let him out we gave him a quick warm water-and-soap bath and wipe down in the hotel sink. Miss Linda thinks that's what really traumatized him. Of course he's been bathed at the vet fairly recently, and recovered quickly from that.

I have a friend who got scammed out of several thousand dollars doing the same thing. He had her on the line for six months or so before asking for money. And then he was in "trouble" and needed her help because he was out of the country. It was a really well thought out scam. I'm certain they had several women on the line at the same time. Must have made a fortune.

She was embarrassed. But heartbroken. Still talks about how wonderful he was to her.
