Friendly Fill-Ins and Photo Fails

I hope everything in this post works okay and is visible, as I'm having all sorts of technical difficulties with it, especially when it comes to the images. Let's hope this all works out, and let's get right to the Friendly Fill-Ins. Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two, and I came up with the second two.


1. I keep _________, but _________.

2. I don't need _________, but I want _________.

3. I would want _________ to be etched onto my tombstone.

4. If I heard something go bump in the night, _________.

My answers are below in bold.

1. I keep my furbabies' medical records perfectly organized, but I can't seem to manage to do the same for my own.

(I could whip up each of my furbaby's individual medical records in a matter of seconds if needed. When it comes to my own medical records, though, I'd probably be fumbling and failing to produce what's needed if they were requested of me. I do have an online account with most of my medical information, and the medical provider I use does have a network that allows different offices under that provider to access patients' files as needed. I guess I depend on my medical provider's system too much, since I don't even remotely have my own records sorted in my own filing system at home. And yet, each of my furbabies has a seperate folder with their records sorted by year. I have my priorities.)

2. I don't need a destination vacation, but I want a staycation.

(I've mentioned before that I'm not big on vacations, traveling, or just generally leaving my house and my furbabies. I'm a homebody. That's why I don't really enjoy traveling for vacations. I do love me a staycation, though, which involves not having to work but also not having to leave my house. That's right up my alley.)

3. I would want my love for my furbabies to be etched onto my tombstone.

(I have seen a lot of tombstones that comment on someone's role as a parent during their lifetime. I've seen this in the form of them simply being mentioned on the tombstone as a good parent, and also by the names of their children being listed on their tombstone. I would feel no shame and would not blink an eye at doing this but with regard to my furbabies. I have no children of the humanoid sort, but I do have furry children, and they mean a great deal to me and my life.)

4. If I heard something go bump in the night, I would not hesitate to blame the cats.

(My cats go bump in the night all the time. They go bump in the night, they go thunk in the night, they go crash in the night, and you get the idea.)

Now it's your turn!

And now it's time for the Pet Photo Fails! Blog Hop, hosted by Mudpie and Melissa of Melissa's Mochas, Mysteries, & Meows!

You better believe our resident blooper queen Eddy has some photo fails to share today. And they're all frighteningly festive photo fails at that. We selected just a few of the bloopers from Eddy's Halloween photo shoots, and we hope you enjoy.

Happy Friday, friends!

Doodle of the Day

Today's technical difficulties include Google and Blogger not allowing me to upload images from my computer, so I can't get today's intended doodle to a point where I can upload it to this post. I'm going to keep trying and see if I can't upload it later this morning, but in the meantime I can at least access past doodles and so can share a flashback doodle. I don't know why this is an issue I occasionally have with the new version of Blogger. I can access images I've shared on my blog before, and I can access my photos I already have stored on my Google Drive, but sometimes all I get are errors when I try to upload an image from my computer. Sometimes it's Google in general that gives me issues, and sometimes it's just specifically Blogger. Does anyone else ever get errors when trying to upload photos to Google and Blogger?

Anyway. Here's a frightfully festive flashback doodle for now. If I can't get the new doodle to upload in a timely manner today, that means tomorrow's Halloween day post will have a grand total of 3 brand new festive doodles. I already have 2 Halloween drawings I'm sharing tomorrow, and now it might be 3. Though I'm frustrated about today's error, having 3 Halloween doodles to share on Halloween day would at least be wonderfully festive.

Tip of the Day

If you enjoy watching horror films or other similar movies for Halloween, keep your furbaby in mind when you adjust the volume. As you all certainly know, cats and dogs have impeccable hearing. A noise that sounds normal and tolerable to us might for them sound far more loud and uncomfortable. So, take into consideration your kitty or pup's heightened sense of hearing when watching movies, especially those with loud music, screams, and so forth. If you are watching a loud movie this Halloween, or any day of the year, be sure that your kitty or pup has a quiet area of the home, away from the television, where they can retreat should they wish to.
