Winter Wonderland Adventures with Angel Astrid

Hello, friends! I'm sorry we're so late to post yet again. I've been working on contacting shelters and rescues about a stray female cat who has seemingly been pregnant multiple times in my neighborhood. Not only do I not want more homeless kitties out there, but we're expecting subzero temperatures this weekend, and I did not want to see her out there in that. I finally got the go-ahead from a rescue to bring her to them if I could catch her, and this morning I got her and so she's now safely with a no-kill rescue. That's been stressful but rewarding, and I'll share a bit more about it in tomorrow's Thankful Thursday post.

Now, it's time for some Christmastime memories with my sweet angel pup Astrid. Since Mother Nature keeps gifting us with major winter weather, I thought it seemed fitting enough to share yet more photos of snow-loving Astrid enjoying some festive walks.

Warm wishes to all!

Tip of the Day

This holiday season, don't forget the dangers that fire can cause. Some festivities include the lighting of candles, and some of us simply like to light candles for their lovely scents. If you do light candles in your home, as you certainly know, do be sure that these are out of reach of your furbabies for safety's sake. Also, as you also surely already know, be aware of the dangers the fireplace can pose. If your fireplace is lit, do be sure that your kitty or pup cannot reach the flames, such as by putting up a barrier, or even blocking them from the room with the fireplace altogether. In addition to this, for everyone's safety, don't forget to stay on top of the care and keeping of your fireplace. Before using it for the season, have the chimney cleaned out, so that bird nests or other potentially flammable objects are not lying in wait up there, making a house fire possible. As always, better safe than sorry.
