Thankful Thimble Thursday: Oh Christmas Tree, Again

Hello and happy Thursday, friends! Next week we will finally (finally!) be returning to participating in Angel Sammy's Thoroughly Poetic Thursday challenge. I've already looked at the photo prompt for next week and I am beyond excited for it. For today, though, we're moving right into Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

As always, a cute little tabby named Thimble is here to express her gratitude. Yet again, she's thankful for the Christmas trees she so loves to keep company.

Thimble also knows how adorable she looks next to a Christmas tree, so that's just an added bonus.

Now, of course, we have for you the fill-in statements for tomorrow's Friendly Fill-Ins challenge. My amazing co-host Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two, and I came up with the second two.

1. This time of year, _________ puts me in a Grinch like mood.

2. My favorite kind of Christmas cookie is _________.

3. _________ is my least favorite thing on my holiday to-do list.

4. Others might be surprised to know that I _________ for Christmas.

We'll see you tomorrow, friends!

Tip of the Day

If you are traveling for the holidays without your furbaby, be sure to plan for their proper care while you are away. Be sure to book a pet-sitter or space in a boarding facility well in advance, to ensure that your kitty or pup has scheduled care with a trusted caregiver. Then, of course, also make sure that your furbaby's caregiver has everything they will need for the comfort and safety of your kitty or pup. Whether a pet-sitter is coming to your home or whether your furbaby is staying at a boarding facility, have plenty of their food in stock, and make sure that their leash, litter, and other necessities are readily available. Also make sure that any medication they take is refilled, and that instructions for medication administration as well as feedings and other care is written down or understood by the caregiver. Other important information to leave for a caregiver is your contact information, your veterinarian's contact information, and your furbaby's medical records, as needed. It is always better to be more prepared than not, so be sure that sufficient preparations are made for your furbaby's care in the event that you leave for the holidays, or any time of the year.
