Tonks Tuesday with an Adorably Dour Face

It's Tonks Tuesday, and the calico gal herself is of course beyond photogenic. That said, she's not always the happiest when the camera shows up in her cute little face. See this adorably dour face?

In truth, Tonks wasn't actually annoyed during this photo shoot. She was actually playing and rolling her belly up. For some reason, she just stopped and posed with that look on her face. She immediately started playing again after this shot was snapped, so don't let that expression fool you.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

As I've mentioned more than once recently, I'm really in the mood for some spooky something or other. I plan on scribbling up some new spooky summertime doodles very soon, but for now, here's a flashback doodle in that realm. It course stars Tonks, and a ghostly little friend.

Tip of the Day

 

Someday I'll create some new tips, but for now I'm again recycling old tips on a topic that's pretty important for our kitties and pups. And so, let's revisit the topic of diet.

Over the next couple of days, we'll give some tips specifically regarding pet food ingredients. As you all surely know, the ingredients that go into a furbaby's food and therefore into their body all play an important role. Let's start today with protein, which is of course a significant part of any diet. Just as with us, our cats and dogs need protein, which can be broken down into amino acids, which can in turn be used to build up new muscles and other tissues. This is why high protein is especially important in a kitten or puppy's diet, as it ensures that they can form the tissues they need to grow into healthy adults.

There are also some other special considerations to make when it comes to protein. For example, furbabies suffering from pancreatitis or diabetes often benefit from high protein diets. On the other hand, a cat with renal disease requires a low protein diet for the health of their kidneys. So, while protein is indeed an important part of any diet, do be sure to do your homework and certainly discuss with your veterinarian what ingredients you should consider for your furbaby's diet in order to keep them healthy.
