Happy Pi(e) Day!

Today is Pi Day. Who knows pi? Pi is a mathematical constant, signified as 𝝅, which equals 3.14. That means March 14 is Pi Day, which of course really means Pie Day. So, obviously, Tonks is here to wish you all a happy Pi(e) Day!

Now, help yourself to a piece of pie.


That was actually the apple pie I made for last year's Pi(e) Day. This year's pie turned out far less aesthetically pleasing, so we're recycling this photo.

Tonks was going to say farewell for the day, but she ended up snoozing away after her Pi(e) Day snack.

Wishing you all lots of pie today!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Truth be told, I failed to get our new Pi(e) Day doodle scanned after work last night, so I don't have the image to share today. We'll still share it this week, but for today our Pi(e) Day doodle is a flashback brought to you by Angel Rosie.

Tip of the Day

Today's National Pet Poison Awareness Month tip is about essential oils. There are a wide variety of essential oils on the market, and there are also a wide variety of reactions your furbaby might display if exposed to certain essential oils. Some essential oils can indeed be poisonous to our kitties or pups, kitties typically being especially sensitive to them. Depending on the type of oil and its concentration, exposure to and ingestion of an essential oil can lead to potentially serious side effects, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and difficulty walking, just to name a couple.

To prevent any accidental toxicity or emergencies, it might be best to simply prevent your furbaby from coming into contact with any essential oils, to ensure that your furbaby is not exposed to any toxic ingredients. This would mean refraining from putting essential oils on your kitty or pup, or placing essential oil diffusers anywhere near where your furbaby can reach. Also keep in mind that essential oils and their fragrances can also potentially cause respiratory irritation, with symptoms such as ocular discharge, nasal discharge, or signs related to asthma. When in doubt, keep essential oils, essential oil diffusers, and any other similar products well away from your furbaby, as their health and safety is not worth the risk.

Happy Pi Day! Tonks is a cutie. I like the drawing and your tips are great. No essential oils here, just like candles.
