To-Go Tonks Tuesday

Would you like a Tonks to-go? Yes? Let's get that bagged up for you.

Those are actually flashbacks from a couple of years ago. Tonks is the primary reason why, if any paper bags are left lying around at our house, handles have to be torn off or cut. Otherwise, she'll get her little calico head stuck in said handle and run around the house in a frenzy.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

We've been sharing so many flashback doodles lately, which I'm not terribly happy about. I have a couple of springtime doodles partially finished that I'd love to share this month, but that's only if I can manage to get them done. The primary reason I haven't been finishing many new doodles lately is that, in addition to my full-time job being as hectic as ever, I'm also trying to plan out and get at least a small head start on our nearly daily doodles for the April A to Z Challenge. Speaking of which, does anyone remember back to a couple years ago when our April A to Z theme revolved around Rosie's Restaurant?

Tip of the Day

Today's National Pet Poison Awareness Month tip is yet another one regarding random yet potentially toxic items that might be found in the the home. Today's household item to be aware of is matches. Matches can contain potentially toxic substances, such as potassium nitrate. It is also possible for matches to contain heavy metals or other dangerous components. Ingestion of matches can lead to toxicity for your furbaby, with the effects depending on the quantity ingested. Poisoning from the ingestion of matches can result in symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Consuming items such as matches can also lead to a variety of other problems, such as perforation or obstruction of the bowel. Needless to say, to prevent any such issues, of course keep matches and all dangerous items well out of reach of your kitty or pup.

In this same line of thought, also keep items such as lighters and lighter fluids hidden away. These can also contain components that are potentially toxic to kitties and pups. And what do we always say? It's better to be safe than sorry!
