Woof Woof Wednesday: Doggy Donut

Hello and happy Wednesday! Yesterday, little calico Tonks tried to show off her kitty-shaped donut toy. Not one to be left behind, pup Astrid wanted you all to remember that she has a beloved donut toy herself.



It of course squeaks, which brings Astrid so much joy. She hopes you all get to enjoy some donuts, either of the squeaky or edible type.

Speaking of donuts, since we're sharing flashback doodles from past April A to Z Challenges leading up to this year's alphabetical month, how about this one from 2020's A to Zs of Rosie's Restaurant?


Eat up, friends!

Tip of the Day

We're of course here today with another National Pet Poison Awareness Month tip. It's time to give a reminder of the dirty details of keeping your kitty or pup safe. What we mean is, don't forget to keep your garbage can, recycling bin, dirty dishwasher, compost, and other similar areas safe against curious furbabies. Garbage cans or recycling bins, for example, might contain empty containers for potentially poisonous substances, such as detergents. The garbage can, dishwasher, or even compost might also contain the remnants of food that is toxic to a cat or dog. When it comes to the compost, or perhaps even the garbage can, moldy foods especially might be found within, and moldy food can contain mycotoxins, which are indeed toxic to our furbabies.

All in all, what we're trying to say is to never forget all of the details, no matter how dirty, for ensuring that your kitty or pup is free from any form of poisoning or other injury. Use garbage cans that are securely lidded or pet-proof in another way. You could even hide your garbage can in a cabinet, drawer, or room to which your furbaby cannot gain access. Also ensure that your dirty dishwasher remains securely closed, and that any compost you have is kept somewhere that your furbaby cannot reach. Even if a precaution seems like overkill, it's probably not. After all, when it comes to the health and safety of your furbaby, it is of course best to take no risks.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, Astrid, when I call 'em 'DO NOTS' instead of donuts...
