Wordless Wednesday

Our Doodle of the Day:

Since Astrid got to have her Christmas in July doodle yesterday, she agreed to let housemate Toby star in one for today.

Our Tip of the Day:
Today's tip is one brought about by the sadness I felt yesterday upon learning that my co-worker's dog had passed away, after she had been outside with my co-worker's daughter, unleashed, and was struck by a car. I frequently cared for this dog when my co-worker and her family went on vacation, and she was one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. That is why today's tip is to please always consider, understand, and employ the importance of keeping your dog (or even kitty) on a leash when they are not in a safe, confined area. Even those furbabies who do not have a history of running or straying can still become unexpectedly excited or startled and unknowingly run into danger. There are leash laws in many areas, so please be knowledgeable of these. More importantly, though, your furbaby's life could very well depend on you keeping them safe and secure with you.

I am sorry for your loss, and I'm sure your friend/co-worker is doubly devastated. How very sad.

Astrid, we feel like we can almost touch your cute nose through the screen! :)

We're so sorry about your co-worker's dog, Lorianne. That's just heartbreaking. We can't even imagine.

What a sad thing to happen. So sorry for your coworker. Astrid, this is one of the best photos EVER. Mom would never have gotten a photo like that of either of the doggies she and dad had. They'd have their nose right on the lens. Cute, cute, cute. Mom sends kisses for that cute nose. She hopes you'd give her some in return.
