Thankful Thimble Thursday with a Blurry Nose Boop

Happy Thursday, friends! Thimble is of course more than ready for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

Today, Thimble is grateful that's she's adorable even when a bit blurry. After all, she found out Eddy gets to share some bloopers for tomorrow's Pet Photo Fails blog hop, and so Thimble wanted to partake as well.

That's barely a blooper, really, especially since Thimble's bloopers are nowhere near as blurry as Eddy's. Even so, Thimble and I were trying to get a photo focused on her cute little nose. But, as you might be able to tell, her nose is actually the blurriest thing in that there photo. Of course, Thimble is still downright adorable.

Flashback Doodle of the Day

I mentioned yesterday how I almost chose a Halloween theme for this year's April A to Z Challenge but ended up going a different route. I did do a springtime Halloween theme a few years ago, though, and so I'm sharing some of those spooky doodles for a few days.

That's another rather tame one, especially considering some of the other doodles from this series are far more Halloweeny. We'll be sharing some of those extra wacky ones as well, though.

Tip of the Day

In these last couple days of National Pet Poison Awareness Month, we're going to summarize some tips on how to help keep your furbaby safe from potential poisons. First, as obvious as it is, we're here today to remind you to use doors or other obstacles to properly block your kitty or pup's access to potentially dangerous products or areas of the house. For example, if your bathroom, laundry room, or utility closet contain dangerous chemicals, such as detergents, then keep their doors securely closed to bar your furbaby's entrance. Similarly, keep the door to your garage shut, in order to keep your furbaby away from gasoline, antifreeze, and other dangers that might be found in the garage. If you have a shed and your furbaby goes outdoors, keep the shed's door securely closed, especially if it houses fertilizers, pesticides, or other potentially toxic products. And don't forget to consider your garden, where toxic plants might grow, or where dangerous chemicals might be used. In such cases, monitor your furbaby while outdoors, and block your kitty or pup's access to the garden, such as with a secure fence. In short, consider all areas of the house and yard where poisoning or danger might arise, and ensure proper safety against said dangers.
