Thankful Thimble Thursday: Toesies and Spooky Toys

It's Thursday, which of course means Thimble is here to partake in angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

Today, Thimble is grateful for her adorable toesies.

Oh, and Thimble is also thankful for all the new toys that show up in the house at Halloween. Some of her favorite are the little wooden figurines you see behind her there. She loves to knock them over, bat them around, and all that fun jazz. Since she never does any damage, and since I'm lucky and have no eaters of foreign objects at my house, I just let the figurines stay where Thimble can reach them since she loves them so much.

Thimble hopes you all have some fun Halloween goodies to toss around!

Tip of the Day

Yesterday, we mentioned the importance of keeping black cats, and of course all furbabies, indoors on Halloween to prevent them from becoming victims of tricks and pranks. Today's tip is similar, and it is to avoid going on a walk with your dog, or even your kitty, during trick-or-treat hours. This is for a number of reasons, including the obvious one that foot traffic, and even potentially car traffic, will be increased during trick-or-treat hours. This is something that could pose a risk especially for skittish dogs or cats, as they might become frightened of the Halloween hustle and bustle. What's more, not only will more people be out and about on Halloween night, making extra traffic and noise, but many of them will be dressed in strange and potentially frightening costumes. These factors could lead a nervous dog or cat to panic, and to potentially get loose and lost. Of course, increased traffic could also lead to accidents and injuries, such as if a nervous or excited dog or cat gets loose and makes their way into the street. All in all, it is important to always take into consideration your furbaby's safety, which might very well mean house arrest during those trick-or-treat hours on Halloween night.
