Bright and Shiny Thankful Thimble Thursday

It's time for Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, and Thimble is ready.

The little tabby girl herself is not only grateful for sunshine, but also for the lights and reflections it casts on the walls and ceiling. She loves those bright and shiny little friends of hers.

Obviously, Thimble, as well as this here mom of hers, is also thankful that Thimble is downright adorable. Do you agree? Thimble is certain you all do.

Tip of the Day

In case you haven't seen our past couple of tips, we're currently in a series all about decorating your home around the furbabies in your life. Today's tip on this topic is to use couch or chair covers, or even just regular blankets, on your furniture. This can help protect the furniture beneath from excess pet hair, as well as from all varieties of accidents that can happen in a home with kitties or pups. We also mentioned in yesterday's tip that you can use furniture covers or blankets to help protect couches and chairs from kitty claw, or even claws of pups. In addition, some cats or dogs might be a bit more on the greasy side, such as Sphynx cats or furbabies with certain ailments, and furniture covers can also help keep couches and chairs clean in this way as well. There are covers designed to fit and protect entire pieces of furniture, or you can simply place a spare blanket on your furbaby's favorite chair or on their favorite part of the couch. Either way, furniture coverings can help protect your couches and chairs from direct damage. Whereas it's not exactly easy to clean an entire chair or couch, if you use a cover, you can easily remove it and throw it in the wash.
