Tonks Tuesday: Window Whiffie Desperation

It's Tonks Tuesday, and the calico herself is desperate for some window whiffies today.

After yet another spell of 90°F days, it's finally cooling down again. That means that, on occasion, the kitties and pup get to enjoy some window whiffies. This here human is too anxious about escapees to open the windows too far, so the kitties often have to desperately shove their heads through the window gap like Tonks is doing in the photo above. Sorry, kitties, I just don't trust you.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today's flashback doodle doesn't have the same spooky or summery Halloween-esque vibe as some of the other ones we've been sharing. Instead, this one was a bit of concept art I scribbled up for the weird and wacky stories I've been writing forever. That said, we're actually going to have even more such concept art coming up for the actual Halloween season, given that the main story I've been scribbling up lately is more or less a Halloween tale. Anyway, here's this for today.

Tip of the Day

We've been having lots of rain lately, so we thought we'd give a random little tip somewhat related to that topic. Especially during rainy or snowy times of the year, don't forget to leave a towel by the door for furbabies who go outdoors. Wiping off wet paws helps to ensure that your furbaby's paws are dry and warm after coming in from the wet outdoors, which can help them stay comfortable but also healthy. Wiping wet paws also helps to remove any debris such as plant material or gravel, which can prevent your furbaby from ingesting such materials if they choose to lick their feet clean. Of course, it also helps keep those paws from tracking water, mud, or other bits of debris throughout the house. In addition to wiping those paws off, also keep in mind what you might be tracking in on your feet. If it's raining or snowing, if you've walked through dirt or other debris, or if anything else might be on your shoes, make sure that you aren't dragging in anything unsavory for your furbaby. Either wipe your shoes off really well, or simply take them off before entering the home.
