Thankful Thimble Thursday by the Christmas Tree

Hello, friends! We've reached another Thursday, which means we have some gratitude to share for Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

A little tabby named Thimble is of course here to share her festive gratitude.

Thimble may not be one of my tree climbers (that's not to say she hasn't tried...and failed), but she sure does love spending time with the Christmas trees. I think she knows they accentuate just how adorable she is. Too bad she wouldn't actually look at me in the photo above. Even so, she's pretty darn cute.

Tip of the Day

Did you know that poinsettias are not as deadly for your furbaby as is often believed? Of course, that's not to say you should be feeding poinsettias to your furbabies as an afternoon snack, as they can indeed cause irritation of the mouth and stomach. But, poinsettias are in actuality not the most dangerous of Christmas plants. It's festive plants such as mistletoe and holly of which you should be even more cautious. Mistletoe can cause issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, decreased heart rate, and difficulty breathing. Holly can also cause vomiting and diarrhea, and sometimes lethargy or even death. Needless to say, always be cognizant of what plants and other decorations are in your home. To be safe, it is likely best to simply keep your home free of Christmas plants.
