Tongue Out on Tonks Tuesday

Tonks has always been a kitty who will just randomly stick out her tongue. It's downright adorable. Ever since she had three of her canine teeth removed last year, her tongue makes even more appearances. Today's tongue cameo is a bit vague, as it's from the side, but it's still there nonetheless.

Given that Tonks was enjoying quite the sunray in that photo, she hopes you all have a bright and shiny day!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

I recently shared a flashback doodle of Thimble that I was inspired to scribble up last year after reading my newest favorite series of books. At that time, I drew each of my furry babies in a doodle relating to that wild book series, and Tonks got to pose with the dinosaur that joins the main character and his talking cat. I'm sure that makes less than zero sense, so long story short, here's Tonks and a dinosaur.

Tip of the Day

 

Not too long ago, we shared a series of tips all about pet safety in the season of spring. We were going to wait a while before we got into the details of summer safety. However, given the summer-like days we've been having, we thought we'd go ahead and offer some of these important tips now.

In many areas, summer can mean extreme heat. For this reason, it is important to know the signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke in your cat or dog. Signs of overheating in our furbabies can include excessive panting, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate and respiration rate, excessive drooling, weakness, or even vomiting and diarrhea. If your furbaby begins to show any of these signs, especially if they have been in the heat, do not hesitate to seek veterinary assistance. Tomorrow, we'll start diving a little deeper into how to keep your kitties and pups safe from overheating and other summer concerns.
