Adventures with Astrid: Scenery and Shopping Carts

Today, pup Astrid of course wanted to take you along on another one of her walks. We have some nice and scenic paths near our house, which Astrid seems to appreciate just as much as I do.

Astrid loves this path. She hardly ever used to take me on this particular one, but now she chooses it multiple times a week.

Oh, and soon after we walked down that path up there, we found another shopping cart. Because that's a normal thing to find on a sidewalk in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

We recently shared a very similar shopping cart here on our blog, as someone in our neighborhood apparently enjoys shopping at that somewhat nearby grocery store, bringing their goods home in a cart, and then just leaving the poor cart to fend for itself. Astrid always checks in with any shopping carts we stumble upon. Unfortunately, none of the carts we've found have ever contained any treats for poor Astrid. How rude.

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Doodle of the Day

I've been going through all the doodles I created over the past few weeks to make sure I've shared all of the summer-ish ones, and I found yet another that never made it here to our blog. This one would have made more sense to share on my hind limb paralyzed boy Evan's Mancat Monday post, but Astrid is fine sharing it on her day. So, here's extra special Evan enjoying a summer evening in the moonlight.

Tip of the Day

Today's autumn pet safety tip is about those mushrooms we often seeing growing all over the place this time of year. The honest truth is that the majority of mushrooms that we see growing outside don't pose a huge risk to our furbabies. However, a small population of them are a real danger. What's more, it's often difficult to distinguish between the different types of mushrooms, especially if you don't know all that much about these fungi. Therefore, especially if you aren't familiar with types of mushrooms and the level of risk they pose to your furbaby, do be sure to monitor your furbaby when they are in your yard, on a walk, or anywhere mushrooms are growing. Prevent your kitties and pups from gnawing on and ingesting any mushrooms, so as to ensure they are safe from any hazards certain mushrooms might pose.
