Thankful Thimble Thursday: The Wake-up Call

It's Thursday, and you better believe Thimble is here for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

Today, Thimble is grateful that her adorable face is the first thing this mom of hers sees every morning.

Thimble knows that she's downright adorable, and so she ensures that I get a good view of that fact every single morning. She is my cute little wake-up call, and I'm not complaining about that one bit.

Oh, and Thimble is also glad that she has stunning whiskers on her cute little face. She was especially glad that they took center stage in one of the photos during this particular photo shoot. See?

As always, Thimble hopes that seeing her adorableness made your Thursday better!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today's flashback doodle is a springtime one I scribbled up a few years ago and that I would love to recreate, in no small part because I drew it so very crooked last time.

Tip of the Day

Next up in our National Pet Poison Awareness Month series of tips is a quick discussion on rodenticides. We rather recently mentioned these, but we'll mention them again for this month of poison prevention. These chemicals, meant to kill mice, rats, and other rodents, are dangerous all around. Depending on the type of poison, rodenticides can cause any number of potentially fatal side effects, such as internal bleeding or acute kidney failure. Ingesting the rodenticide itself is of course one way in which your furbaby can be poisoned. In addition to this, though, if a rodent ingests the rodenticide or walks through it, and then your furbaby gets a hold of that rodent, the poison can also pass into your furbaby's system this way.

To be safe, simply try to avoid the use of rodenticides completely. If rodenticides are being stored or used in your home, garage, garden, or other areas, though, absolutely ensure that your cat or dog cannot reach them. Also monitor your furbabies if you think rodents are in your house and a rodenticide is being used, to ensure your cat or dog does not catch or eat a rodent that has been poisoned. Severe side effects can result from rodenticides, for both the rodents, your furbabies, and even wildlife. So, please do all that you can to avoid their use.
