Non-Window Wednesday

On most Wednesdays, you all get stick-in-the-mud shots of stick-in-the-mud Astrid gazing out the window. But, not today! My sister used her phone to snap some shots of pup Astrid when she was walking her the other day. I asked my sister to send the photos my way, so that you all could see that Astrid is not always pouting in the window.

Unless Astrid is eating, sleeping, or pouting in the window, she pretty much always has a happy smile like that plastered on her face. I'm glad you all finally get to see her smile. She almost always hides it when the camera comes out to play, the ornery girl she is.

Astrid and all of us here hope you friends of ours have a happy, smile-worthy Wednesday!

Our Tip of the Day:

Yesterday's autumn safety tip revolved around helping your kitty or pup stay warm by putting out more blankets or pet beds, and keeping said napping spots off the floor. Today's tip is also about helping your furbaby stay warm as the weather cools down, but this time in the form of food. It is possible that, as the weather grows colder, our furbabies might eat more in order to stay warm. This is because eating spurs metabolism, which can help produce warmth for the body. As it grows chilly, therefore, your kitty or pup might indeed need more food. That being said, though, if you have any concerns regarding your cat or dog's weight, or if they have related health issues, then of course discuss food intake with your veterinarian first.
