I feel so lucky to experience this beautiful act of springtime so close to home and I thought that the blossoms would be a fun backdrop for a few outfit photos!
These have been a few of my favorite pieces lately! The dress is so comfortable and so versatile. I love that it has an interesting print but in all neutral colors...that way I can throw on a denim jacket or a cardigan in any color of the rainbow!
I want to take a moment to talk about a serious incident that happened this weekend because of something as seemingly innocent as a flower. On Saturday morning, I had to rush my beloved cat, Izzo, to the emergency veterinary clinic because he chewed on an Easter Lily. Easter Lilies are poisonous to cats. As a cat lover who has grown-up with cats, I didn't learn this important information until Saturday morning when it was too late.
Immediately upon arrival at the clinic, Izzo was hooked-up to an IV in an attempt to flush the toxins from his system. They kept him at the clinic for almost 60 hours while they continued to hydrate him and to test his blood to make sure that his kidneys weren't failing. Thankfully, Izzo is now resting comfortably at home and I'm so relieved to have him back in my arms!
During Izzo's time at the clinic, I cried approximately every five minutes and continuously wanted to kick myself for not knowing about the toxicity of lilies. So here I am, spreading the word! This is a list of plants that are poisonous to cats. If you have a cat or are planning to bring a plant as a gift to a cat owner, please take a look! (And for good measure, here is a list of plants that are toxic to dogs).
If you are the praying kind, or if you aren't, all prayers and positive thoughts for Izzo's complete recovery would be very much appreciated.
