Thankful Thimble Thursday: Farewell to the Festive Donkey

Hello and happy Thursday, friends! Thimble is of course here and ready for angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

Today, Thimble is grateful she got to enjoy a season full of festive friends. When she found out Tonks got to recently share photos of her and our festive Eeyore, Thimble wanted to make sure she also got to share a photo shoot with him before he's tucked away this weekend. So, here is Thimble's farewell photo shoot with festive Eeyore.

Truth be told, this Eeyore stuffed animal hangs out around the house year round. His reindeer antlers are just a headband I put on him during the Christmas season. So, I'll remove that from him, and then Thimble can continue to hang out with him.

Of course, we're also thankful for all of you friends of ours!

Tip of the Day

We are continuing our tips relating to ferals and other outdoor cats in the cold winter months. Today's tip is a more general one, and relates to the fact that animals seek out warm places to sleep when it is cold outside. For example, cats and kittens, and other small animals, might climb up under the hood of a car that has recently been driven, since the engine will be warm. For this reason, especially when it is cold outside, honk, clap, or tap on your car's hood before starting it. This will give a warning to any animals who might have sought shelter there, and will give them time to find safety elsewhere. It is of course perfectly possible that no animals will be sleeping under the hood of your car, but in case a cat or other animal is, making noise before you start your will help ensure that they get out of harm's way.
