Thank you for sharing your pets with us. Mitten's sister, Marble, was even prettier, but sadly passed away at age 3 from heart failure.īless the animals and all the people who love them! Here's Mitten, deciding what she wants to eat next. The house has been oddly lacking since our last cat died in December of last year (RIP, Sparks Dawntreader!) I probably won't have the doggeh of my dreams but cats are fantastically great also. Rae is playful, a joy for our family of 5. She's slimmed down now that she's out of caged 'foster cat' life. She's living up to her name, which means queen in Spanish. She turned 1 on May 19th she's been with us since mid-March when she was 10 months old. (Competition dogs are seldom house dogs, took a while to house break him 'old dog/new trick', he still won't eat people food unless I hold the plate, not even steak or gravy)Ī frustrated dog lover married to the ultimate CatMan, I've not sent pet pics before. I made a house dog that hunts out of him, spoiled him rotten. He had been retired and put up for sale when the guy heard that Dixiee had died(at 18yo).he offered to give Blue back to me, gratis, rather than sell him to someone else. Dixiee had it and threw pups that carried it). Champion to Dixxee, wanted all of the females and 2nd pick of the males, he was trying to get that "Straight Tail", breeders have been trying to get it genetically consistent in these dogs for nearly 80 years.

He is a gooood dog, had been one of my Dixiee's pups, sold to a major breeder/field trial competitor/Assoc President(He had asked to breed his Nat. So great to have people help get him back to you.

Won't climb the stairs to the bed he used to sleep on, won't even go into the TV room to sit with the old man on the couch. He is fattening back up some, but won't go up and down the stairs anymore.he'll go out cruise around the 1/2acre fenced yard, sleep under a bush, but when he comes back in won't go any further than the carpet mat in the mud room. Several people volunteered to run legs of the trip to bring him home.Neighbor across the road, from Africa, drove me to the state line to meet them

Hiked between 12-20 miles a day through the boonies, and under the full moon with coyotes howling/yipping, following me through the dark being "Illinois" couldn't even carry a gun.after a week finally gave up.got a uhaul and a car trailer, gathered up my 92yo Dad, the other dog, and drove the 449 miles home.ġ0 days Later though, FOUND! Near skeletal, scared, burr encrusted, footsore, no collar.NRSFTA wrote the tale up in our monthly Magazine. Old, nearly blind, nearly deaf, 15yo Blue disappeared, into an area too rough, steep, broken up to even get a horse into. 19 miles from the nearest gas station, 30 from the nearest tow truck. In the middle of a 13,000acre wildlife/wilderness area. THEN.timing belt broke on the 4runner, 4 cam impingement motor, sooo.toast. Weather turned to total crap, horses slipping falling on the ice and snow when they weren't stuck up to their bellies in mud(like Literally having to stand up on the ground to get UP out of the saddle) 6 degrees at night, low teens with strong winds in the day. Went to western Illinois beginning of last month for the Red Setter National Championship, worst week ever. Reminder: For current events and politics, the Thread before the Gardening Thread (a couple of threads below) is almost always an Open Thread.Ĭourtesy of PMRich (mostly a lurker now, but I at least lurk every day)

Ask someone for a treat, kick back and enjoy the world of animals. Good afternoon and welcome to this weekly respite from most of the outside "civilized" world - the Ace of Spades Pet Thread.
