Friendly Fill-Ins and Eddy's Eyes

Hello, friends! We're ready for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, and we'd love for you to join us. My amazing co-host Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two fill-in statements, and I came up with the second two.


1. If someone offered me a free _________, I would accept it.

2. If someone offered me a free _________, I would refuse it.

3. I have _________ memorized.

4. _________ has really changed since I was younger.


My answers are below in bold.

1. If someone offered me a free goodie for my cats or dog, I would accept it.
(Food, treats, toys, or anything that could benefit my kitties or pup, I'll happily accept. As long as it's something safe for them, that is.)

2. If someone offered me a free concert ticket, I would refuse it.
(This especially goes for certain artists, including most modern artists. Everyone of course has their own tastes, but I'm one of the people you couldn't pay to go see someone like Taylor Swift, for example. I'm just not into that kind of music or the hype around it. In general, though, I'm just not a big fan of concerts. I love music, but from the calm, quiet comfort of my home, car, or earbuds.)

3. I have our vet clinic's phone number memorized.
(This is mostly thanks to my boy Evan and his constant trips to the vet, and my constant trips to go pick up his medication refills.)

4. The world has really changed since I was younger.
(I was debating what specific answer to put for this, but I couldn't settle on one, so this is what I've got to offer.)

Now it's your turn!

Who's ready for their Eddy fix? All of you? Well, lucky you, because we have for you a shot of Eddy cuddling in bed in the morning sun.

I've said this before, but I love this girl's eyes. Obviously I love all of her, but her eyes are just gorgeous. And of course I'm not biased or anything like that.

Happy Friday, friends!

Tip of the Day

I'm sure I don't need to tell you all, but as part of our tips for National Pet Poison Awareness Month, we're here to remind you that many human medications are indeed toxic to our furbabies. One of the most common pet poison emergency culprits is ibuprofen. It can be very dangerous and even fatal if ingested by your kitty or pup, and its side effects can include gastrointestinal distress or even kidney failure. Ibuprofen is of course not the only human medication that can have dire consequences for our cats and dogs, though. Decongestants such as excess pseudoephedrine can also be toxic, as well as medications for treating blood pressure and ADD/ADHD, just to name a couple. Needless to say, keep any and all human medications hidden away in a secure cabinet, drawer, or other such confines.

It is also worth noting that certain topical creams and ointments that we humans use can also be dangerous for cats and dogs. These such medications can be sneaky as well, since you might apply a potentially toxic cream to your skin, then you might forget about it, and then your furbaby might lick your skin or even clothing that touched the topical medication. This, in turn, can possibly result in toxicity. As a couple of examples, creams for pain management or hormone treatment can easily contain ingredients that could lead to life-threatening side effects for your kitty or pup. So, not only should you safely store medications, but you must also be diligent about how you might be exposing your furbaby to toxic ingredients.
