Woof Woof Wednesday in the Window

Astrid and I realized that it's been awhile since you all have seen a shot of the pup herself giving a good pout in her beloved window. So, here you go.


The sun is technically out, but it's not reaching the window very well since the smoke from the Canadian wildfires has officially reached us. The air quality is considered to be very unhealthy now, so pup Astrid is also getting shorter walks than usual. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the people and animals affected by the fires and smoke.

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm already in the mood for Halloween and all things creepy and kooky. So, here's another summertime doodle to go along with that.

Tip of the Day

Yesterday we gave the pet parenting hack of using rubber gloves to remove furbaby hair from sofas, car interiors, and so forth. We failed to mention another option, and so we'll go ahead and do that today. If your clothing, bedding, or similar item is covered in pet hair and you're looking for a quick fix, you can try tossing it in the dryer with a dryer sheet. The anti-static nature of dyer sheets will help keep the hair from sticking to the clothing, bedding, or whatever item is in question. The hair will instead make its way to the lint trap. You could also try just rubbing a dryer sheet on the hairy item, as that sometimes will also help remove hair with the aid of its anti-static nature.

That all being said, though, please do keep those dryer sheets out of your furbaby's reach. This is because dryer sheets often contain potentially toxic components. So, keep those dryer sheets well hidden, and find and toss stray dryer sheets before dispersing the laundry. Of course, if you have any concern for your furbaby's safety, then simply refrain from using this method altogether.

Yes, we too are in the hazardous range from the fires; it's rather scary.

That snoke is awful, we had it a while ago. Cute shot of Astrid. I am ready for Halloween now too. :) Great tips- I always put the cats' stuff in the cryer before washing unless it has been yacked on. :)

It was bad here earlier in the week too!

I'm glad pup Astrid is getting window time and sorry the smoke is so bad. We've even had some down here.

I'm already ready for the cooler weather of Autumn.

Hi Astrid. Sorry your walks have been shorter, but that smoke is bad stuff. We had it a few weeks ago, and it was just awful here in the NYC area. XO
