K is for Kitchen – #atozchallenge

Thanks for liking us! Sadie and I really appreciate all the love!

Today Sadie and I join Ruckus the Eskie‘s Sepia Saturday blog hop with a short message about kitchen safety.

For every day in April, except Sundays, your blog post must be about a topic starting with a specific letter of the alphabet. There are over 1,000 bloggers already signed up to participate in this challenge, including many other pet bloggers like myself. It should be pretty interesting to see what pet-related topics people come up with for every letter of the alphabet. I’ve been brainstorming some ideas today, so I decided to share some of my brainstorms here. Continue reading →
