Tonks Tuesday: Camera Shy

Usually, just like her sister Thimble, Tonks is a bit of a ham for the camera. She generally likes have her photo taken, probably because she loves her some attention. But, there are still times when Tonks is not really in the mood to have her photo taken. Like in these photos here, when she refused to look at the camera no matter how much sweet talk I attempted.



Don't worry, though, because Tonks still got lots of cuddles and her beloved belly rubs after these photos were snapped.

Tonks and all of us here wish you a terrific Tuesday!

Tip of the Day

We haven't reached the end of National Pet Poison Awareness Month yet, so we'll keep these tips coming. Today's tip on potentially poisonous household items relates to batteries. If a dog or even a cat bites a battery or ingests it, the acidic or alkaline components could leak out and enter their gastrointestinal system. This material is corrosive in nature, and can therefore cause serious side effects, including oral ulcers, vomiting, other various signs of gastrointestinal distress, and even fever. Due to the corrosive nature of battery components, vomiting should not be induced in the case of ingestion, as this will cause further damage. Immediate care can include rinsing out your pup or kitty's mouth with lukewarm water to remove as much of the battery material as possible. Of course, quickly follow that up with immediate veterinary care. To prevent such emergencies, keep all batteries tucked safely away where curious furbabies cannot get to them. As always, it's better to be safe than sorry.
