Pearly Whites on Wednesday

You'll always catch Astrid smiling during one of her most favorite activities of all time. And what is that activity? Going for a walk!


This girl has been complimented on her smile by many a stranger.


Now, if only she wasn't petrified of said strangers petting her.


Is anyone else showing off their pearly whites today?

Our Tip of the Day:

Our past two Halloween tips were about potential hazards of Halloween decorations. Wreaths, garland, and festive trinkets can pose dangers, as can candles in or out of jack-o'-lanterns. And, of course, don't forget cords for strands of lights or other decor. Relating to these previous decor tips, today we're talking about ways you can keep your furbaby safe while also getting festive.

First, of course, keep any and all potentially hazardous items high off of the ground, or out of the reach of your furbaby in any other way necessary. In addition to this, you can tape down or tuck away cords to lights or other decor. There are even pet-safe and child-safe cord covers, under which cords can be tucked away from curious paws. But, what about when it comes to candles? Aside from refraining from burning them, or keeping them out of reach or in a room away from your furbaby, you can try battery-operated or other similar artificial candles. You can use safer option in festive candle holders, or even to light your jack-o'-lanterns. Of course, though, do keep in mind that batteries and plastic parts and pieces can also pose their own risks to furbabies. So, while fake candles might not burn your furbaby, it is still wise to keep an eye on your furbaby around such items, especially if your kitty or pup is a chewer.

I love this doodle, and you've got a smiling cat pumpkin again! As for cords around the house, Da Boyz ignore them, unless they are feeling mischievous and want to get attention, then Manny starts messing with my cell phone charging cord. He knows I hop right up to stop him!
