Woof Woof Wednesday in the Leaves

Astrid loves this time of year. She loves cool weather. What's more, she loves spending time in her beloved back yard when it's nice and chilly outside. She'll choose to spend hours out there, even with us regularly asking her if she wants to come inside. Strangely, sometimes the old gal chooses to hang out on the concrete patio. I prefer when she chooses the grass, though, and she seems to especially enjoy when I leave those autumn leaves on the ground for her to lie on.

I'm admittedly not the kind of person who rakes my yard pretty much ever. My leaves get taken care of with a final mowing of the season, which I still need to do. The chopped leaves are supposedly good for the soil and all that jazz. Or something like that. For me, it's more that I'd simply rather mow than rake. That said, Astrid is currently enjoying all those leaves in the yard, so she can have them for now.

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today's doodle is many years old. It was also seemingly scribbled up in a year in which the days of November fell the same as this year. Fitting enough, I guess, so here you go.

Tip of the Day

We've been discussing foods that may or may not be safe to share with your furbaby on Thanksgiving. Keep in mind, though, that food safety isn't just related to food preparation and eating. Safety precautions should continue even after you've finished your meal. What are we getting at? We're reminding you to be aware of dishes in the sink and food scraps or wrappers in the trash. If your furbaby licks off of plates in the sink or dishwasher that contain remnants of dangerous foods, or if they find their way into the trashcan where scraps or bones reside, then emergencies can result that way as well. So, be aware and take precautions to keep your pup or kitty safe from dangerous foods even after the feast is over. Immediately rinse or wash plates and keep the sink clear of dangerous food debris. Also take out the trash if it contains dangerous food items, or keep it securely hidden away from your furbaby.
