Angel Astrid and Her (Eye)Ball on Woof Woof Wednesday

Recently, I shared some photos of my sweet angel Astrid in her Halloween sweater I bought her a couple years ago.

On the same day I bought her that sweater, I got her a new creepy little toy. Do you see it in these photos?

Astrid was 10 in these photos and was still a very active girl. She had a good, fun run in the yard with that new (eye)ball of hers.

In case you can't see what that toy is, here's a creepy closeup.

Astrid's toy bin is something I still haven't brought myself to fully go through. I hope I can find this eyeball in there. If not, I'll have to search the house for where my precious pup might have stashed it.

We hope you have a day as freakily fun as the one Astrid was having above!

Spooky Flashback Doodle of the Day

It's indeed a Woof Woof Wednesday post today, so our doodle will also star a pup. This is one I scribbled up last year, starring a dog from the story I'm currently writing. The weird tale begins on Halloween, and this corgi gets a bit festive for the spooky occasion.

Last night I finished two new doodles starring a certain special kitty character from this story. I've shared many doodles of him before, so you might recognize him when I share those doodles soon.

Tip of the Day

Today's tip is an extension of yesterday's tip, when we reminded you to only put Halloween costumes on furbabies who tolerate or enjoy it. Now we're here to mention the importance of choosing safe and secure costumes for those kitties and pups who do enjoy wearing them. There are a number of considerations to make in order to ensure that a Halloween costume, or other item of clothing, is safe for your furbaby. For example, you of course have to make sure that there are no embellishments or other decorations on the costume that could be chewed off and ingested, as this could indeed be dangerous. You also want to make sure that no strings or other similar parts and pieces could lead to a furbaby getting tangled in the costume. What's more, make sure the costume is the correct size and fit. A costume with too small of a neck hole or with too small of leg holes could be not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous for circulation. Dressing up our furbabies can indeed help you and them get into the Halloween spirit, but it is far more important to ensure their comfort and safety.
