Desk Work

Hi, furiends! I, Thimble, get to post all by myself today. What's especially great is that means I get to be in charge of our post for the Sunday Selfies blog hop, which is of course hosted by our Kitties Blue furiends over at The Cat on My Head.

So, guess what? I snapped a lovely selfie.

Guess what else? I snapped another lovely selfie.

Don't I have the cutest little nose? My mom says I do.

Anyway, cute nose aside, can you guess what I was doing when I snapped those selfies? Can you? Well, I was helping my mom with a bit of desk work, of course!

Mom got our her sketchbook, so obviously that meant she needed my help. It's hard work, keeping an eye on Mom and making sure that I help with whatever desk work she has going on that day. If she brings out any books, or those bills and that checkbook (which always means there will be a pen involved to slap around!), or that fun trampoline computer, and especially if she's in my library, I simply can't let her work unattended. Can you imagine? If I let my mom do all that by herself? MOL! What a silly thought.

Anyway, I hope you liked my selfies! I know I'll like all of yours!

Purrs,
Thimble


P.S. Since I was helping Mom work in her sketchbook anyway, I told her she had to draw this while she was at it:

It's certainly not as good as the real deal, as Thimble in the fur, but it's okay. My mom does her best.

Purrs again,
Thimble

Our Tip of the Day:

How about a common sense tip today? We're sure all of you smart pals of ours already know this, but always be sure to take your kitty's or pup's habits and preferences into play when deciding what you pull up on that computer screen when they're nearby. And what do we mean by that? Well, are you about to sit down on the couch where your furbaby always enjoys attention and lap time? Then perhaps don't use that time to open your laptop to your banking account or start browsing to make purchases online, so that no paws will accidentally use that keyboard against you. Though it is of course possible to train our kitties and pups to stay off of computers and other such devices, sometimes their enthusiasm to see or snuggle you outweighs the training. So, if you're planning to do some online banking or shopping, perhaps have a specific space in the house designated to such tasks, a space your furbaby cannot reach. Or, use a smaller or more mobile device that your furbaby is less likely to step on or otherwise bother. Sometimes our furbabies just can't help but demand some attention or some cozy laptime, no matter what your laptop is open to. So, take this into consideration and always plan accordingly in order to keep those paws from transferring funds or purchasing an ugly sweater.
