Thankful Thimble Thursday: A Blanket and Belly Rubs

It's time for Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, and Thimble is more than ready.

A couple of Thimble's Halloween photos were snapped on a certain blanket. She's shared this blanket before, but we didn't comment on it in those recent posts because the spooky aspects were the focus of those shots. Today, though, Thimble wants to go back and remind everyone how grateful she is for her favorite blanket. After all, it's almost as cute as she is.

Don't mind the blur in these photos. Thimble was so very excited to be on her pretty kitty blankie and to be getting some much-deserved attention, two of her favorite things.

As always, Thimble invites you all to give her cute little tummy a tickle! She loves belly rubs so very much.

Happy Thursday, friends!

Tip of the Day

Yesterday we discussed whether it was safe to feed your furbaby a taste of that Thanksgiving turkey. Another food you might find on the Thanksgiving table is ham. Is this safe to feed your furbaby, though? Ham, like turkey potentially can be, is often high in fat. Ham is also often processed or treated, and can possibly contain high amounts of salt. These factors can lead to any number of issues, such as gastrointestinal distress or pancreatitis, especially if consumed in excess by your kitty or pup. And, just as we've said of other Thanksgiving foods, also be aware of other potentially concerning ingredients added to ham, such as onion and garlic. While very small amounts might not have an effect for some furbabies, do be aware of the potential side effects that fatty, processed, treated, or seasoned ham can cause.

It's also worth noting to be aware of the contents and preparation of chicken, beef, and all meats served at your Thanksgiving dinner. These can all potentially contain problematic fat, or additives such as onion, garlic, salt, and so forth. To prevent pancreatitis, gastrointestinal distress, or other issues, either refrain from giving your furbaby a taste at all, or give treats only in moderation and only when you are certain that the food contains no potentially dangerous components.
