Tonks Tuesday: Cookies and Christmas Trees

Just as with the Halloween cookies I bought at the pet store for Astrid during the spooky season, Tonks made to sure to inspect some of the pup's Christmas cookies I brought home. The calico may or may not have taken a tiny little taste as well.

The cookies passed Tonks's tests, whatever those may be, and so she quickly went back to her beloved Christmas tree.

Tonks and all of us wish you a festive Tuesday!

Festive Flashback Doodle of the Day

I've been working on wrapping gifts this week, so today's flashback doodle seems apt enough.

I am indeed working on some new Christmas doodles, though I'm feeling discouraged having not shared any of them yet. This time of year just always gets away from me, and so I'll start sharing those new Christmas doodles soon. Luckily, Christmas Day is only the First Day of Christmas, and so we still have plenty of the season for festive doodles.

Tip of the Day

Yesterday we mentioned how to prepare your furbaby if you are leaving them to travel for the holidays. Today, we are starting a short series of tips on what to do if you are traveling with your furbaby. First and foremost, if you plan to take your furbaby with you on a trip this Christmas, or any time of the year, talk to your veterinarian. Discuss with them your furbaby's health and whether traveling is safe for them. Some furbabies, such as those who are geriatric or who are suffering from an illness, might not be good candidates for traveling, especially long distances. If you are in need of traveling with such a furbaby, though, have a detailed discussion with your veterinarian on what you must do to take all precautions to keep your furbaby as healthy and happy as possible during travels. In some cases, even for young and healthy kitties or pups, some form of sedation might be in their best interest for traveling. This is another detail that you must discuss with your veterinarian. It is always our furbaby's best interest that we must have in mind, so ask your veterinarian any and all questions you have regarding keeping your furbaby happy and healthy during travels.
