Mancat Monday

It's Mancat Monday, and Evan's celebrating by basking in a sun puddle.

Obviously, this was before Evan got his handsome shave on his hind end. These days he's a sunbathing baboon, and I think he's adorable.

Happy Monday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

After months on end of chaos at my full-time job and all that jazz, things are settling down and I'm finally really trying to get back to an actual schedule for my doodles and all that good stuff. I'm trying to start with getting back to doing at least 4 new doodles each week, and flashback doodles the other 3 days of the week. To begin, I'm going to challenge myself to sharing new doodles both days of the weekend as well as Tuesday and Thursday, and flashbacks on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This week's new doodles will all be holiday mashups, and the flashbacks will be Thanksgiving doodles from years past, like this one here.

Tip of the Day

It's still Pet Diabetes Awareness Month, and so we have another tip today for those who might know a diabetic kitty or pup. We recently mentioned the importance of diet for a diabetic furbaby, and today we're mentioning how exercise is also significant for keeping diabetes regulated. Just as with humans, a proper activity level can help to keep diabetes under control, this especially being the case for a diabetic kitty or pup who is overweight and in need of losing weight. That being said, though, exercise and activity level also can affect blood glucose levels. For this reason, talk to your veterinarian regarding a healthy level of exercise for your diabetic furbaby, and how to best monitor their activity level, weight, and diabetic status.
