Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Thanks for stopping by. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Would you like a treat?

Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.

Alligator safety message: Keep your pet on a leash and away from water

Anybody have a pet alligator?

Meet The PetMorons

Mike sent us a link with a great story about the mama kitty above and her babies. Check it out. It starts out like this:

Happy Birthday to the Kittens

So once upon a long ago my daughter had this kitten we got from a girl in my brother's office whose cat had just had kittens, name of Fearless. As she grew, she of course came into heat for the first time (Fearless, not Madeleine), got herself knocked up straightaway after escaping from strict-but-not-strict-enough quarantine, had her own litter of wee bairns, and successfully brought them to just past the weaning phase.
Then came the terrible, terrible day Fearless escaped from the house as I was leaving for work and immediately ducked under brack's Mustang, where I couldn't possibly retrieve her. After several minutes on hands and knees trying to coax her out verbally, I gave up and went on to work, thinking she'd do what she always did when she managed to dart out the door between my legs, which by then she'd gotten pretty good at: climb up on the roof and lie up there in the sun waiting me for to get back, whereupon I would call for her and she would carefully make her way down to the gutter pipe, then leap into my waiting arms to be carried back inside.
Alas, that was not to be on this black, bleak day. Little did I know as I left that it would be the last time I would ever see or speak to Fearless; most likely, she got nabbed by the coyotes with which the area was and is rife, the poor, doomed little thing. I can hardly bear to even think about what an awful fate that would have been for her, it just breaks my heart.
But she did leave behind a wonderful legacy, in the form of the kittens she had given birth to almost exactly nine weeks before.

There are great photos and descriptions of the kittens who did not move on to other homes at the link, in addition to more of the story. We saw another photo of Precious recently, in a saucepan. You may remember . . . .

We may see more about the other kittens later. Sorry about the loss of Fearless.

From Jewells:

This is J.J. a female mix. She was a stray so we don't know much about her. Approximate age is 10. She is VERY anxious. Her mouth just trembled the entire time we had her out in the play yard last week. Hopefully this is temporary and it's just the result of moving in to Shep's.
Everyone loves her!

Hope her anxiety is temporary! Looks like a sweet dog.

* * *

Here's our three year old Shepsky, Misha (on the left), and our four month old GSD puppy, Anna. We brought Anna home when she was eight weeks old, and at the time she had been raised inside a house with her litter mates and her paws had never touched the ground outside. That quickly changed. Misha immediately took to the new puppy and decided to help raise her just as if she was her own. The maternal instinct is indeed an amazing thing to watch. They are inseparable. Here they are enjoying a romp through parts of the local forest.
Thanks for the pet thread. It's one of the best things on the internet.

It's great that they have formed such a tight bond.

From lurker NancyB.
We just welcomed the second set of calves to be born on our farm. The two moms are Belted Galloways. The dad is a beautiful Hereford- red with a white face.
The calves born last year are black with white faces. This spring, we got one with the same markings but the second calf is red with a white face, belt and white forelegs. He's a really unusual and handsome calf I think!

Both calves are handsome! Interesting details on the parents, too!

9 I met two neighbors today - Ezekiel and Crystal. Good boys, both of them.

Crystal got nailed by a copperhead on Thursday. "Hi! Mr. Snek!! Whatcha doing? I'm going to sniff you!!"

Blam! Facebit. She's doing okay and was up and around walking the neighborhood but wow, swollen face and drooling to beat the band. Vet gave her some Benadryl and said she should be fine in a few days.

14 I was sitting here, sort of mindlessly wondering where Jake was at. Then it dawned on me that he is asleep across my foot, under the table. And my cat has decided to demand that I bring her a pint jar of water so she can drink it at the table, rather than at any of the other places I give them water. I did find a padded stool that she likes, so there's that.

16 Shep's celebrated its 4th birthday this week and also had a volunteer appreciation night where Russell unveiled plans for an expansion! He wants to add on to the existing house adding several more rooms, enough to house another 20-25 dogs. The cost is $750,000. So.. we'll be doing a lot of fundraising in the future!

Delilah is out now not to chase breed and group wins but Grand Champion points. She needs 800 to become a Platinum-level Grand Champion and right now she has 700.

Her daughters Diana and Ruth are being shown in Puppy classes. Diana is in better shape than Ruth and has now picked up 9 points, mostly by beating her sister.

Her Majesty is not feeling up to showing the girls, so I have Diana this weekend. I can do a mechanically-adequate job of showing, but I lack "hands" to make her shine.

Today Delilah (the 2021 National Specialty winner) was beaten by Kohl (the 2022 National Specialty winner). I later mock-berated the judge (an old friend), saying, "How could you not put up our scrawny puppy instead of those Specialty winners?"

18 I went to Chicago last week and came home with a broken foot. No idea how it happened, and I wasn't drinking so I didn't black it out, either. I just got home, took off my shoes, and have been in agony ever since I removed the right one. My theory is that Chicago knew I got in and out of the city without being murdered or getting a fatal drug addiction, and it just couldn't let me leave in good health... So the foot.

Anyway, keeping it elevated at night seems to reduce the sleep-depriving pain, and there's less bruising in the mornings. I know this because Charlie keeps forcing himself under my leg at night, and won't quit it. Dogs are smarter than us about injuries. I tried a pillow, but he's better at keeping my leg straight.

I took Lucy to the beach twice this last week in her little backpack. Much meowing was involved. I want to get he used to it so we can hang out more.

I hate coming home after being gone for 10 hours only to go to the beach and leave her alone for even longer. Human guilt. But. She also gives me the stink eye.

And OT, NCAA Womens Gymnastics on ABC. I do wish I had been born in 2003. I'd have enjoyed college gymnastics so much more. It's so fun to watch these young women have a BLAST!

45 Howdy, pet people,

We don't often see livestock on the Pet Thread. Interesting! My mother, who grew up in rural Florida, used to refer to our cats as that way, as in "Time to feed the livestock."

My own livestock are doing well. Stirling the Great Black Kitten is here on the couch with me; he was nestled against me when I woke from my nap. Despite being a year old and technically an adult, he still kneads and nuzzles my arm almost every morning like a kitten with his mother. Dagny the brown torbie Siberian, also a year old, plays like a young kitten still. Miss Linda fetched out the hollow plastic Easter eggs and loaded some treats and catnip in them, and both have gone wild batting the plastic eggs around, cracking them open and hoovering up the kitty pot.

She's got to go for her own alterations next month so she won't get knocked up if she happens to get out.

48 I have been feeding a stray cat. I originally thought it belonged to a neighbor. It's fairly tame and talks to me when I put out food. I was able to touch the top of its head yesterday. I'm going to set up shelter outside for it. No way I could move it inside but can give it an easier life.

Last week, Nurse, I discovered some old b & w snapshots my mother had taken before I was born. Several feature her black shorthair boy cat Sparky, including one with the cat in her arms sitting on "the levee" -- I presume this was somewhere near where she lived in the late '40s. And that was long before kitty strollers and the like. I wonder how she managed to get the cat over there, as she never learned to drive. A ride in someone's car, I guess. But how did she keep the cat from dashing off?

Anyway, Sparky was a favorite of hers. She kept a sepia-toned studio portrait of him in a frame on a living room shelf until she passed. Mostly black, he was, with a few white hairs on his chest.

Stirling keeps trying to wake me on the weekends at the same time I usually get up during the week, sticking his cold wet nose in my face and purring. Dagny simply waits for me to arise. She might jump on the bed and walk around Stirling and me while I let him nuzzle, but she's not the demonstrative kind. Maybe when she gets older.

54 Oh, and I did find a pic Mom had taken in rural Florida (I guess) of a white or nearly white shorthair, with an inscription on the back, "Spunky." I dimly recall her saying that was one of her cats when she was young, the one who would go down to the creek with her, his tail up high as he led her through the grass.

56 Hereford/angus cross breeds.... this must be what got out of my neighbor's pasture last week. I spotted them in our front yard, we called the guy and kept an eye on them until he got home. There were 3 of them; 2 bulls and a cow. They went into our backyard and were visiting with the other neighbor's cows before he and I ushered them home.

My first experience with that sort of thing.

66 We're about to head to the far western 'burbs so Miss Linda can explore a Dillard's clearance/outlet center. We may, if it's not raining too hard, visit a public library book sale nearby, and then hit up dinner at a local pizza/burger place on the same major avenue. I'd be reluctant to do this late in the day, as it would probably be hot, but it's been rainy today and a "cool" front is supposed to come in tonight.

Damn clearance place doesn't even *open* until noon. Jeez.

Some cats will walk. I had a cat who would fairly frequently follow me if I walked around the block. I think the route must have taken her out of the territory she'd claimed because she got very nervous about halfway around, but with a bit of encouragement she'd very nearly heel, trotting after me with her tail held high.

She also liked to roll in whatever gardening dirt I was trying to turn.

75 I'm thinking Shadow needs a good wake-up slap now and again. She'll love it.

79 Are your cattle tame?

Some of my friends wake up to bottle babies in their garages when things go wrong with the mama or twins. These tough cowboys will bottle feed a calf and take it home so their wife/kids can help.

Those are the sweetest cows and you get to touch them.
