A Nosey Thankful Thimble Thursday

Hello, friends! It's time for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, and Thimble is here and ready.

Thimble has been sharing lots of gratitude lately for the sunshine and her adorable self. Today is similar, but with an emphasis on how cute her little nose is. She even put it in the sunny spotlight for you all to appreciate it properly.

Feel free to give that nose a little boop. Thimble would genuinely be more than happy with that. She very much so loves attention and affection.

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Since we've been sharing some summertime spooky doodles here and there over the past few weeks, I think it's time for the annual re-share of my Edgar Allan Poe series of doodles from quite a few years ago. Today you get Poe, his tortie Catterina, and none other than the (in)famous raven.

Tip of the Day

Today's pet parenting tip is a simple one about creating a masterpiece of a memory using your furbaby's adorable toesies. If your furbaby is willing to participate and does not get stressed, you can get non-toxic, pet-friendly paint in order to create some paw art. After finding somewhere in your home where you don't mind making a tad bit of a mess, put some of the pet-safe paint on your furbaby's feet and either have them walk on some paper, or press their paw on the paper yourself. You can then leave the paw prints as-is, or even get creative and turn some of them into flowers or other cute designs. Either way, this is one way to create a simple yet long-lasting memory of your furbaby.

As morbid as it sounds, in the future, you will likely be glad you created these such lasting memories while your furbaby was still with you. We all know that some similar items, such as clay paws, are often created during a time of grief. This is why the aforementioned paw art is one way to create such a memory in happier, healthier times. Again, as morbid as it may sound, it's never too early to think ahead about what memories you might want to have after your furbaby is gone. Of course, do take into consideration your furbaby's comfort. If your furbaby is too stressed to participate in paw art, for example, brainstorm and think of other ways to create lasting memories with them. The options are endless.
