Thankful Thimble Thursday: Sunny Days

Hello and happy Thursday, friends! You better believe Thimble is ready for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.


Today, Thimble is grateful for something that she's honestly very often grateful for. And that is that wonderfully bright and warm ball in the sky.


Thimble, like pretty much every cat in existence, loves her a sunny day.


Thimble hopes all of you are enjoying lots of sunshine and of course sun puddles today!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

I feel like the doodle below is relevant every year. Crocuses have been blooming in our yard, what with last week's 70°F days. And now it's cold again.

Tip of the Day

Today's National Pet Poison Awareness Month tip is one we've touched on time and time again, but it is a pretty important one. As you all certainly know, never forget that some human founds can indeed be toxic to our kitties and pups. Chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, grapes, and raisins are just some of the foods that could lead to extremely dangerous or even fatal consequences if ingested. Also don't forget about the sweetener known as xylitol. This can often be found in sugar-free gums and candies, but also in various other foods, drinks, and even medicines, supplements, and toothpaste. This sneaky ingredient is indeed toxic, especially to dogs.

Though symptoms of toxicity can vary based on what human food our furbaby ate, and how much, signs can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, difficulty walking, or any other number of concerning manifestations. If you know or think your furbaby might have eaten a toxic food, do not hesitate to seek veterinary assistance. Just as with any poison, removing the toxins from the body and treating the patient in a timely manner can be a matter of life or death. To prevent such emergencies, avoid feeding your furbaby any and all foods that you are not absolutely certain are safe.
