Friendly Fill-Ins

Happy Friday, friends! Friday means all sorts of good things, the weekend and the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge being just two of them. In case you missed the fill-in statements for the Friendly Fill-Ins, I'll share them again here. Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two, and I came up with the second two.

1. One can _________.

2. Given the choice of _________ or _________, I would pick _________.

3. _________ makes me feel _________.

4. I never go a day without _________.


Now, I wouldn't ask you all to fill them in without filling them in myself. So, here's what I managed:

1. One can never succeed without taking the leap.
(There are so many quotes out there that get this point across, and far more eloquently than I did here. But, I'm thinking you catch my drift.) 

2. Given the choice of candy or fruit, I would pick fruit.
(This statement would have been something along the lines of blaspheme to childhood me. But, childhood me hadn't yet learned what age can do to your health, and even to your taste buds. So, now I love me some fruit instead of some candy. Honestly, I could live on watermelon, blueberries, cherries, pineapple, and banana, and die perfectly happy. Don't get me wrong, though, because I definitely had me some candy for Halloween. It left me in a raging sugar coma, but I had me some candy anyway.)

3. This time of year makes me feel excited.
(October to December easily make up my favorite part of the year. That's probably because Halloween and Christmas are my favorite holidays. This time of year, I'm just a bundle of eager, antsy energy.)

4. I never go a day without cuddling every single one of my furbabies.
(The second I wake up, I try to find all of the kitties and pup Astrid in order to hug them good morning. The same thing happens when bedtime rolls around, and lots of times in between there, too. I'm sure some of them wouldn't mind a vacation from me, but too bad.)

Now it's your turn!

Eddy was just certain that today was a day for bloopers. That's why she has this to share with you all:

Eddy also didn't realize Tocktober is over, so this belated shot happened as well:

Typical Eddy.

Wishing you all a beautiful day!

Our Doodle of the Day:

Because of a recent occurrence known as Halloween, I've been watching and enjoying the Netflix series called Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. This is a retelling of the older comics and TV show known as Sabrina the Teenage Witch. One thing led to another as I watched the show, and I found myself with this doodle for today:

It took every fiber of my being not to throw a cat-o'-lantern into that there doodle. There's still a witch in there, yes, but are witches really just a Halloween thing? This here fantasy nerd says most definitely not. Heck, maybe I'll draw a Christmas witch in the near future. Of course, said Christmas witch would most certainly be accompanied by her festive black cat familiar.

Our Tip of the Day:

It's Pet Cancer Awareness Month, so we have another cancer prevention tip for you today. We're here to talk a bit about vaccines. While vaccines can be important for the prevention of various diseases, especially for those furbabies who go outdoors or are in another way more susceptible to disease, it is still crucial that you be knowledgeable about the potential side effects of some vaccines. In some cases, vaccines can lead to injection-site tumors, commonly cancerous fibrosarcomas. To help prevent these, you can keep furbabies, such as cats, indoors. This could render some vaccines far less necessary, since your furbaby would likely not be exposed to the diseases certain vaccines cover. In other cases, such as if your furbaby does go outdoors or might be exposed to certain diseases, simply do your research. Ask your veterinary office what types of vaccines they use, as some vaccines do not contain the components typically believed to cause injection-site tumors. Vaccines are often a highly debated subject in any case, so always be knowledgeable about them, about what kind your veterinary office uses, and which vaccines your kitty or pup might need.
