Perturbed Tonks Tuesday

On this Tonks Tuesday, the calico wants to remind you all how cute she is. Even when she's a bit perturbed at her human of a mom for waking her up.

Sorry, Tonks. I didn't mean to interrupt your nap. You're just so adorable, so can you really blame me?

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today is the release day of my most anticipated book of the year, and that is the 8th book in the wild and chaotic fantasy series I've mentioned more than a few times on here. That would be the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. It stars a man named Carl with magical heart boxers, and of course his talking Persian tortie cat, Princess Donut. When the 7th book came out about a year and a half ago, I scribbled up this here doodle, which seems like a good one to share again today.

Tip of the Day

Today's wildlife tip involves ways you can make your yard more wildlife-friendly. Of course, before you start making changes to your yard, ensure that the yard is still safe for any outdoor furbabies, and that your yard's attributes do not infringe on your neighbors. That being said, what are some ways you can make your yard more wildlife-friendly? You can of course add bird feeders, and areas where squirrels are fed. A bird bath is also very beneficial for both birds and squirrels, as long as you keep it clean and well tended. Bird houses are another possibility. You can also use the help of nature to make your yard a lovely place for wildlife to spend their time. Not only can you plant flowers for birds and insects to enjoy, but you can also maintain trees and bushes as areas where wildlife can seek refuge and nest.

Of course, we will again note that you must take the safety of both your furbabies and wildlife into consideration. Do not plant any flowers toxic to dogs or cats where your furbabies can reach. Also be cognizant of the location of bushes and trees. Why? For multiple reasons. Birds and other wildlife will not want to spend time in bushes or trees where dogs and cats frequent, as our furbabies are seen as predators. This also goes for the placement of bird feeders, bird baths, and bird houses. In addition, our furbabies can possibly be infected or injured by some wildlife. Our kitties and pups can acquire certain parasites from wildlife or in areas where wildlife frequent, and they could also be injured if they startle certain critters. These are also reasons why it's important to be aware of possible interactions between our furbabies and wildlife.

In short, there are ways that you can make your yard more wildlife-friendly. After all, this makes for great Bird TV and Squirrel TV. But, of course, you must also take into consideration the safety of your furbabies as well as that of the wildlife.
