Hello, friends! We're ready for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, and we'd love for you to join us. My amazing co-host Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two fill-in statements, and I came up with the second two.
1. I would rather smell a skunk instead of _________.
2. I can't believe the price of _________.
3. I _________ for breakfast.
4. I always _________ before turning in for the night.
My answers are below in bold. This time I tried to keep my answers and their explanations a bit shorter. I did my best.

1. I would rather smell a skunk instead of sauerkraut.
(One of my least favorite scents in the whole world is cabbage, sauerkraut being the variety I despise the most. I'm probably being dramatic, but the smell genuinely makes me feel a bit nauseated.)

2. I can't believe the price of everything.
(I was really trying to decide what specific answer to put for this one. Gas, healthcare, the electric bill, even just ground hamburger at the store. Everything is expensive, so everything is my answer.)

3. I like overnight oats but not cooked oats for breakfast.
(I love oats and have them almost every day for breakfast. That said, I only eat oats soaked in milk overnight rather than cooked or otherwise warmed oats. I want to like cooked oatmeal, but the thick, gummy texture that sometimes results is not my thing. I don't mind the texture of aforementioned overnight oats, though, and so my go-to breakfast is chocolatey overnight oats with blueberries.)
4. I always say goodnight to all of my kitties before turning in for the night.
(I have to say goodnight to each and every one of my kitties before I go to bed. I also have to say goodbye to each of them before I leave my house. It's a necessity.)
Now it's your turn!

Also, as I've mentioned many times before, just look at her gorgeous eyes!
Though she loves to sit next to it, as she's gotten older Eddy doesn't climb her Christmas as much as she used to. That's probably why when I woke up to her happily and loudly crawling around in it the other night, I was really grateful. I didn't care that it was something like 2 o'clock in the morning. I was just glad to see her climbing her Christmas tree with such enthusiasm.
Happy Friday to all!

Today we have yet another Happy Hallowthanksmas doodle, because this pretty much sums up how I feel this time of the year.

Tip of the Day
Continuing on with our Thanksgiving dinner tips, yet another common holiday dish is white potatoes, such as mashed potatoes. When it comes to feeding your furbaby white potatoes, those that are cooked and plain can be a reasonable treat in moderation. When additional ingredients are added, though, then you have to start being extra cautious about offering potatoes as a treat. For example, butter or sour cream might cause gastrointestinal distress, especially for cats and dogs who are lactose intolerant. In addition, as we've said before, added ingredients such as garlic, onion, or excess salt can potentially be dangerous if consumed by a kitty or pup. So, you can let your furbaby try out those mashed potatoes, but first make be sure to take into account how they're prepared.
In addition to white potatoes, Thanksgiving is also often a popular time for sweet potato dishes. If plain and simple, sweet potatoes can make for a great treat for a kitty or pup. They are a great source of fiber and vitamin A, as well as vitamin C, potassium, and a variety of other beneficial nutrients. Plain steamed, baked, or mashed sweet potatoes would be a great treat to allow your kitty or pup during that Thanksgiving dinner. That all being said, though, do be cautious of dishes such as sweet potato casserole. These altered versions of sweet potato often contain added sugar, sugary marshmallows, and other potential seasonings or ingredients that could be unhealthy or lead to gastrointestinal side effects. So, sweet potatoes are a great treat to offer that furbaby in your life, but do be sure it's of the plain and healthy variety. Just as with white mashed potatoes, make sure you know how sweet potatoes are prepared prior to letting your furbaby have a taste.
