Thankful Thimble Thursday: Melting in the Sun

Hello and hi! As always, Thimble is of course here and ready for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

As is often the case, Thimble is grateful for sunshine. This girl knows how to find any and every sun puddle in the house, and she'll chase them around all day.

It's been pretty darn hot here lately. Our heat index yesterday was 100°F, and it's close to the same today. The humidity is barely survivable. Thimble doesn't care of it's hot and humid, though. She'll find those sun puddles and she'll bask in every single one of them.

Thimble hopes you all get to enjoy some sun puddles today as well!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today's flashback doodle is in honor of Thimble's love for sun puddles. She loves them so much, she's willing to turn herself into a puddle herself. And that inspired me to draw this weirdness a couple years ago.

Tip of the Day

The next tip in our series on bringing home a new cat or dog is to ensure that you are prepared with all of the supplies needed for bringing home said furbaby. For example, the new furbaby will of course need food and bowls, and also possibly a litter box, litter, a leash, toys, beds, perhaps a product such as Feliway, a collar and ID tag, and so forth. What's more, though, when selecting such supplies, keep in mind the particular furbaby you're introducing into your home. Is it a kitten or puppy, or a geriatric cat or dog, or a furbaby with special needs? In such cases, have on hand food and other items that would best suit the particular kitty or pup. That being said, it is often recommended that you try to slowly transition a new cat or dog to a new food, so as not to disrupt their digestive system with a sudden change in diet. Therefore, it might also be reasonable to purchase at least a small amount of the food they were eating prior to you bringing them home, and transitioning them to a new food over the course of a few days. All in all, as you all surely know, make all necessary considerations and make proper preparations prior to bringing home a new furbaby.
