Thankful Thursday: Thimble's Favorite Blanket

It's Thursday, which means Thimble is here and more than ready for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.


Recently, Thimble showed off her second favorite fleece blanket. She wasn't using her favorite blanket at the time because her brother, Evan, had peed on it. So, today, Thimble is happy to show off her absolute favorite—and now squeaky clean—blanket.


Isn't that blanket almost as cute as Thimble herself? And I know Thimble looks kind of disgruntled in that photo, but I promise she's not. This cute little tabby actually loves the camera, and that there is the look she gives just before she jumps up to run at the camera and rub her cheeks around it.


Those treats in front of Thimble were my attempt to get her to stay where she was rather than obsess over the camera's presence, but it didn't work. Right after that last photo was snapped, Thimble indeed ran at the camera and purred and rubbed all over it. After that, all the photos looked a little something like this:


Even absurdly close to the camera and blurry, Thimble is downright adorable. Don't you agree?

Tip of the Day

After yesterday's National Pet Poison Awareness Month tip on paint products, we wanted to also give a PSA on the dangers of certain glues. If we're to be honest, the primary danger of glue isn't necessarily poisonous effects. Nevertheless, we still want to warn of the life-threatening hazards of glue. Some glues, such as glues for wood or construction, as well as heavy-duty glues like Gorilla Glue, can lead to severe side effects. Ingestion of these glues can cause symptoms such as gastrointestinal distress, vomiting, and decreased appetite. What's more, though, is that these types of glues can contain diisocyanates, which can mix with stomach acid and then expand. This can then lead to bowel obstruction. Bowel obstruction is nothing to take lightly, and often requires surgery. Needless to say, if your kitty or pup gets into glue, especially heavy-duty glue that contains diisocyanates, seek veterinary care immediately. Of course, to prevent such emergencies, take no risks and be sure to hide away any and all glues someplace where your furbaby cannot reach.
