Thankful Thimble Thursday: Sun Puddles and Space Stations

Hello and happy Thursday, friends! Thimble is excited and wants to get right to Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.


One of Thimble's thankfuls is yet again sunshine, specifically in the form of sun puddles. But, this week she also paired those sunrays with one of her favorite track ball toys, which is barely visible here since Thimble wouldn't share her beloved sun puddle with it. 


That toy is actually the Jackson Galaxy space station track ball and scratcher toy. We won it way back in 2017 from the amazing crew over at The Cat on My Head, and the kitties here still love it and regularly play with it to this day.



Talk about multitasking. Sunbathing and playing? What a busy girl Thimble is.

Tip of the Day

Many of us have furbabies who enjoy a cozy bed, and who also enjoy making a bed out of their human's clothes. That's why today's pet parenting hack of a tip is to use your old clothes to make a pet bed for your kitty or pup. You can take on old shirt, for example, and stuff it with a pillow or other type of filling. You can sew it shut, or even just safely and securely tie it shut. Not only will the soft filling make this a cozy bed, but it will also smell like you, something that many furbabies enjoy. Not to mention this could save you the cost of a brand new bed from the pet store. There are a great many options for creating pet beds in this manner, using shirts, pants, robes, and so forth. The options are endless, and you can even find ideas and techniques online for creating a variety of such pet beds.

We have one of those too! It's actually so big that I put it down in the basement for Mudpie to play with.

Thimble's fur colors seem 3D in the bright sun.
