Ace of Spades Pet Thread

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. We are glad you stopped by today. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Cute pup with a split nose.

Dogs age quickly. Cherish every moment wit them.

We call it quirk head. Why do dogs tilt their heads?

I've been wanting to send photos of my furry family for quite awhile. They have had quite a life.

The three who are enjoying my clean sheet are Kitten Little, behind him is Roberto, and the light-colored one is Milky.

Kitten Little had followed me home one day, then disappeared, and a couple of weeks later, when I was walking my dog Buffy, KL emerged from Rabbi Taizi's yard, bumped noses with Buffy and followed us home a second time. Roberto lost an eye to an infection when he was a kitten, but seems to get along fine and is very loving. Milky is the accident prone kitten who jumped up to the kitchen counter in my daughter's apartment one day and burned his paw on the ceramic burner. He had to live in the large dog carrier-turned-cat hospital for a few weeks.

Disaster struck in May 2019 when a forest fire destroyed many homes in our small community of Mevo Modiim, Israel. When the fire department allowed us to return, my house was a cement block shell with a two-foot pile of ashes inside, and things had been looted. Only a few homes survived with little damage.

My daughter found Kitten Little and Roberto living in the ashes. A neighbor told me that he saw Milky at the Let the Animals Live organization, and I was able to re-adopt him. At first we were living at Kibbutz Hafets Haim and couldn't bring the cats there. My neighbor built feeding boxes for the cat survivors -- closed with a small opening so dogs and other larger animals couldn't get to the food. He set up a watering system as well. One time, my daughter went to refill the feeder and discovered a hedgehog in the box! Hedgehogs apparently prefer cat food to scorpions and centipedes.

Eventually we were able to take the three cats with us to our temporary home in the town of Reut, and now we are back on the moshav in temporary housing and trying to figure out what kind of house we want to rebuild. Cat Noir -- the black one sleeping on top of the cabinet in the kitchen, joined us a few months ago. We think he belonged to our neighbor who had a private cat rescue service; apparently none of her other cats survived. When the fire swept up the hill from the wady, the police and firemen gave us only ten minutes to leave. Only our dog Buffy and the grandchildren got into the car. I really miss Tiger, who always waited faithfully for me to come home from work. Nate, an older cat whom I had rescued as a kitten, showed up but then disappeared.

As you can see, Buffy has to share his bed with Kitten Little.

It is really hard to lose pets in that situation, but I'm glad these four survived, even Cat Noir, who bites when he's nervous.

Feel free to edit this email or the photos as you like.

Thanks for the great thread. It's really fun to see the pets and read their stories. - No name provided

With PetMorons in Israel, this certainly is the almost world famous AoS Pet Thread. So good to hear from you. What an amazing story and you are so fortunate to save some of your pets and grandchildren. Thanks so much for sharing photos of your cute critters.

This gentle giant is Sam. His handsome exterior is a disguise for his lovable, goofball personality. His favorite position has 4 legs in the air, an invitation to rub his gorgeous spots!
Thanks for always entertaining us, pet morons,
Lucy and Doug

What a handsome lad without any mischief in those eyes. I bet he's a fun guy to hang around with. We are happy you submitted his photo and background.

Molly is our newest addition to Shep's Place. She's a 14 year old long hair chihuahua. She seemed healthy at first but we discovered she has worms and started coughing a few days after we got her so she is being medicated and is isolated from the other pups. We have no history on her so not sure what her background is or why she ended up at the animal shelter. She's absolutely adorable and loves to be held and loved on which none of us mind a bit. When she has her ears up she looks just like Gizmo. - Jewells

Keep up the good work Jewells. And good luck with Molly's recovery.

Meet Luna, our (nearly) 6 year old PomChi (Pomeranian/Chihuahua).

While it may look like she's about to dig into a bowl of kitten noodle soup, she was actually guarding them from her sisters (not pictured) when this photo was taken.

The Wifey found the pair of feral, 1-2 week old kittens near her office during a rain storm earlier this week, and brought them home until we could find a permanent home for them (I'm heavily allergic to cats). It was then that Luna's maternal instincts kicked in and she appointed herself their protector for the evening. Regards, Stu

If looks could kill, we would all be in trouble Stu. Thanks for sharing Luna's story. Quite the pooch.

This is our last picture of Shadow, before he made his final trip to the vet.
He remained a happy feisty pooch, even though cancer had taken hold and was tearing him apart.

I'll never forget walking though the rescue, and him up on the edge of the kennel, pawing at me, letting me know he was the one for us. Initially, I wasn't interested, but, finally came back and, decided he needed to come home with us. He was probably about age 8 when we got him. He rewarded us for taking his advice with 6 years of loyalty, and letting strangers know this was his house and we were his people, and, by golly, best be on your best behavior.

With him around, I never worried about my wife being home alone, because I knew he would take care of her, should anyone try anything.

This was the toughest call I've ever had to make with one of our pooches, because it felt like such a betrayal. But, I also realized if I avoided doing what needed to be done, I'd be betraying him and letting him suffer, because I didn't have the nerve to do what needed to be done.

Of all our dogs, he wasn't just our dog, we were also his people. Funny thing, he trusted us completely, though he came from an abusive household that didn't look after him, at all. How someone wouldn't recognize what they had is beyond me.

His best friend, Shue, who preceded him over the rainbow bridge by 5 years. It was hard to take, losing her, because, truly, with these two, it was love at first sight. We had a year of these two roughhousing, which was quite the sight, two large dogs, growling and shoving each other around. It was never serious, they just adored each other.

Hard to believe they are both gone. Both were featured on the pet thread, years ago.
Regards,

Blake - semi lurker in marginal standing

Condolences on your loss Blake. I bet it is awfully quiet there with out your buddy. We are glad you could give him 6 years of solid love and companionship.

Here's Stella the Berner with four front paws. Not really, she's laying on a plush toy with the same coloring. Thankfully she stayed still while I got the shot, which almost never happens. - JuJuBee

Quite the shot there JuJuBee. Amazing how animals will allow us to take a photo every once in awhile that demonstrates their cuteness. Thanks for sharing.

Quite the full In-Box this past week. Thank you so much for filling it up. If we didn't get to your pet this week be patient. We will get to them.

If you have something you wish to share please contact us here at petmorons at gmail dot com.

Until next time, have a wonderful week.

My boss's dog made her way across the Rainbow Bridge this past week. She was affectionately known as the "goat" because of her tendency to eat whatever she could. She had a good life and is certainly missed by the family she left behind.

11 Oh blake,
So sad. What a lovely memory you have though.

Lucy the cat got her lab results back and her thyroid levels are very good now, on medication and her kidneys are doing just fine. She's only 8. I was hoping to have her for many many more years. I don't know how long kitties last when they're on daily medication though.

I'm trying to tell her how much I appreciate her constant companionship, especially during the isolation of the lockdowns. She really kept me sane.

Amen to that! When we were on lockdown in my community last year, having three cats around really helped me deal with the isolation and depression. They are truly my greatest blessing.

18 The other day I was petting my little Sheltie Lily, when I asked her the let's play question - "Who's the Wuff?!" This had the desired effect on her, but my young Grandson started crying! When I asked him why, he said he thought that HE was the Wuff!

I simply explained the truth - that everyone I love to play with is a Wuff - and everyone was fine.

22 That's what I think about Jonah Goldberg's constant dog posts. I used to feel bad for the dogs. But then it occured to me... If these dogs are so good, why haven't they bitten him? Is he hiding the bites? Does he keep them muzzled except for Twitter photos? Or are they just bad dogs that don't bite Jonah Goldberg?

25 "because it felt like such a betrayal": Blake

Yes, this. That's one reason it is so hard. I've had to let dogs go when it became the last, best thing I could do for them. Even knowing that, all of them still haunt, in a way.

I believe I will eventually see all of them again.

excuse me, got something in my eye.....

49 Sorry about Shadow. It's one of those things we have to do.

We went to the woods today. I managed to catch a break in the rain. Supposed to be 90% tomorrow. The old dog stumbled a couple of times and was dragging her back foot towards the end. People ask me why I drive an hour and a half there and then back home but only stay about fifteen or twenty minutes. If they could see how happy she gets, they'd understand.

61 In better news, Chekov the Ailing Codger Cat is holding his own. He's not well; probably it's arthritis, not unusual considering he's 14 years old. He moves like one of the oldsters on the Hurry-Cane commercials. Aside from that, when he's sprawled on the living room floor relaxing, you'd never know he was that age, or that he has troubles.

I'm glad he's recovered as far as he has.

65 We went to pick up Wolf's ashes today at Heaven's Pets, the adjunct to Lake Lawn Cemetery on the western edge of town. It's a lovely landscaped place with a handsome main building, and a little flower-bedecked "garden of memories" just outside, with memorial plaques to loved pets all along the walkways and mounted on black marble stands. People name their pets cute things like Muffy and Mini-Boo, but then there were Caesar and Octavia and Ophelia, and Bentley . . . and even an Adolf ("My Sweet Boy")! (I expect that was a German shepherd.)

The lock of Wolf's black fur they gave me was much larger than I expected it to be. But then, he was a much larger cat than average. . . .

We never expected her to outlive Mr. Shadow.

Good for you. My small place seems pretty empty too, with only one cat now. As for adopting another, I'm not ready for it -- Wolf's a tough act to follow! -- and I think it would not be good for Chekov. Maybe he'd be fine with another mature cat, but what if he isn't? And caring for 2 elderly cats is not something I can handle.

75 Old Dog and Old Cat are worried (family issues) but happy because they are seeing their own children. They are fond of the grandkids, but having their own kids in residence or dropping in regularly is probably their idea of heaven. New Old Dog is tired and picky about eating. However, even he perks up when youngsters are around, so even though I know he is on his last, I'll let him be for now as he can still have a lot of fun.

It does the old heart good to see the love in the photos, and to hear the stories of the bonds between humans and their pets.

80 Honestly... as big a dick as I am I cannot abide dogs and cats, along with other animals in our charge being left to their own devices. We habituate them and expect them to survive?

Thus the $400+ fee on one of our cats for being "stupid" and contracting some sort of infection.

86 One of my kitties has cracked pads (not the toes, just the pads). Any recommendations?

87 Lucy the cat got her lab results back and her thyroid levels are very good now, on medication and her kidneys are doing just fine. She's only 8. I was hoping to have her for many many more years. I don't know how long kitties last when they're on daily medication though.

I'm trying to tell her how much I appreciate her constant companionship, especially during the isolation of the lockdowns. She really kept me sane.

I have had several very elderly cats on daily meds for years without the meds being an issue. And these were 15 years old or more starting out with the meds.

Petroleum Jelly should help, and if they lick it up it might help with hairballs. I remember a TV vet saying they gave a fingerfull of jelly to their cat for that.

I am thinking perhaps coconut oil might be a good alternative, something about ingesting a petroleum byproduct just doesn't sound right to me. I have used it on my French Bulldog Conor's nose and it seemed to help with the dryness and cracking there!

I'd thought of Aquaphor, forgetting about that licking part. Publius read somewhere that olive oil should help. I also have avocado oil. I wish I could put him in cotton booties so he doesn't track it/collect dirt on those feet. Somehow I don't think the booties would stay on for long.
