Hello and happy Thursday! It's time for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, and Thimble is of course ready.
Today, the little tabby lady is yet again grateful for sunshine, and her majestic whiskers.
Thimble does wish her amateur photographer of a mom had done better with the lighting in order for you to better see her adorable tabby face, but that cuteness still comes through.

Flashback Doodle of the Day
We've been sharing a lot of spooky summertime doodles lately, but we can't ignore this little thing called Christmas in July. So, for today, how about an old doodle of this festive sort, which for one reason or another I created with Wild West vibes.

Tip of the Day
Today's tip is one a bit more for the dogs, but of course could be used for kitties if the situation applies. What we're talking about today is bell training. It can help to have a way for your dog to tell you they need to go to the bathroom. Since jumping and scratching at the door is not all that ideal, you can hang a bell, or a strand of bells, on the doorknob. Of course, make sure the design of the bell and any attachments are safe for your furbaby, especially if they're a chewer. Once you've selected and placed the bell to be used, training techniques such as positive reinforcement can be used to teach your dog to ring the bell prior to going outside to use to the restroom. This will allow your dog to make the connection that, if they ring the bell on the door, they will be let out to use the restroom. Just as with any training, this may take time, but with patience, practice, and positive reinforcement, everyone involved can get the hang of it.

We're having a lot of rain today and would also be thankful if the sun peeked through. Those are tremendous whiskers, Thimble.
Thimble is a cutie. I like the drawing and your tips are great. I had Prancie trained with the bell. XO
You are a cutie patootie!
