Tired Tonks Tuesday

Today, a tired little Tonks is enjoying some rare sunshine on her beloved rocking chair, which is currently piled with her favorite fleece blankets.

Tonks and all of us here wish you a terrific Tuesday!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today's doodle is a flashback that more or less explains how this time of the year feels to me.

I'm still sort of in the Halloween spirit, Thanksgiving is of course right around the corner, and the Christmas season might as well have already begun. I think I've seen signs like this say something like, Happy Hallowthanksmas!

Tip of the Day

In case you missed it, we're doing a series of pet cancer prevention tips during this Pet Cancer Awareness Month. Today's tip is one we've mentioned one more occasion than one, and is one that many of you have probably heard. This tip is to always keep in mind that it is indeed possible for cats and dogs to get skin cancer, especially on vulnerable parts of the body, such as the ears and nose. For this reason, monitor the amount of time they spend outdoors in the sun, but also the amount of time they spend sunbathing in windows or doors. If your furbaby does spend a lot of time in the sun, perhaps look into pet-friendly sunscreen, and discuss safe options with your veterinarian as needed. There are also windows or window films that block out UV light, which is another option for keeping our furbabies and their skin safe during their sunbathing sessions. The sun can indeed be fun, but also dangerous, so do keep a close eye on those furry sunbathers.
