Tonks Tuesday in the Window

Hello and happy Tuesday, friends! More specifically, it's Tonks Tuesday, and so the calico is of course here to grace you with her presence.

No matter what is on the back of that couch, Tonks will sit on it in order to watch out or snooze in the window. That window looks out into our back yard, where wildlife traffic is very heavy. That's probably why it's one of Tonks's favorite places to hang out.

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Today's flashback doodle is one I scribbled up many summers ago for my mom. It stars her fuzzy calico, Gilly, who loves hanging out in kitty tunnels.

Tip of the Day

Our previous pet parenting hack was to use rubber gloves to remove furbaby hair from sofas, car interiors, and so forth. We failed to mention another option, and so we'll go ahead and do that today. If your clothing, bedding, or similar item is covered in pet hair and you're looking for a quick fix, you can try tossing it in the dryer with a dryer sheet. The anti-static nature of dyer sheets will help keep the hair from sticking to the clothing, bedding, or whatever item is in question. The hair will instead make its way to the lint trap. You could also try just rubbing a dryer sheet on the hairy item, as that sometimes will also help remove hair with the aid of its anti-static nature.

That all being said, though, please do keep those dryer sheets out of your furbaby's reach. This is because dryer sheets often contain potentially toxic components. So, keep those dryer sheets well hidden, and find and toss stray dryer sheets before dispersing the laundry. Of course, if you have any concern for your furbaby's safety, then simply refrain from using this method altogether.
