The Weird Friend on Woof Woof Wednesday

Pup Astrid had her turn investigating the strange feline friend that's been hogging our blog these past couple days. Well, more like she had her turn getting her space invaded by it.

Astrid and the kitties are annoyed to learn that this strange and stuffed black kitty will be staying out at our house year round. Good grief.

Happy Wednesday, friend!

Halloween Doodle of the Day

Today's doodle is a recreation of one from a couple years ago, and is inspired by one of my favorite terrible horror movies.

Tip of the Day

Do you want to give your furbaby an extra fun treat for Halloween? We're thinking most of you already know that pet stores typically offer festive toy options around the holidays, including Halloween. Nevertheless, we're reminding you to consider looking for the pet store's festive holiday section, or for festive options in the general toy aisle. If necessary and feasible, you can even use such festive new toys to help distract a furbaby who gets anxious or excited by the sounds and overall hustle and bustle of Halloween night festivities, such as trick-or-treaters visiting the house. Of course, if you are handing out candy, festive new toys should be given in a safe area of the home, away from the door. And, yet another caveat is to always check new toys for any potentially dangerous parts and pieces. You know your kitty or pup best, so when picking out new festive toys for them, always keep in mind their tendencies to chew on or eat certain toys. It's fun to be festive, but it's also very important to be safe.
