Tonks Tuesday: Yet Another Pumpkin Pillow

Tonks found out that Evan got to show off our cat-o'-lantern pillow yesterday, so she wanted to get a turn to show another one off. This one isn't a cat-o'-lantern, unfortunately, but it's a not-so-spooky little pumpkin pillow nonetheless.

Actually, maybe Tonks doesn't even know she's showing off a pumpkin pillow. When I look at that photo, I realize Tonks kind of seems blissfully unaware of her little orange friend. Maybe she'd prefer it that way.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Tip of the Day

Our past two Halloween tips were about potential hazards of Halloween decorations. Wreaths, garland, and festive trinkets can pose dangers, as can candles in or out of jack-o'-lanterns. And, of course, don't forget cords for strands of lights or other decor. Relating to these previous decor tips, today we're talking about ways you can keep your furbaby safe while also getting festive.

First, of course, keep any and all potentially hazardous items high off of the ground, or out of the reach of your furbaby in any other way necessary. In addition to this, you can tape down or tuck away cords to lights or other decor. There are even pet-safe and child-safe cord covers, under which cords can be tucked away from curious paws. But, what about when it comes to candles? Aside from refraining from burning them, or keeping them out of reach or in a room away from your furbaby, you can try battery-operated or other similar artificial candles. You can use safer option in festive candle holders, or even to light your jack-o'-lanterns. Of course, though, do keep in mind that batteries and plastic parts and pieces can also pose their own risks to furbabies. So, while fake candles might not burn your furbaby, it is still wise to keep an eye on your furbaby around such items, especially if your kitty or pup is a chewer.
