Top 13 Worst Dry Dog Food Brands to Avoid

The Wolf Wasp-inator
Imagine, if you will, a slender, blonde wolf with short hair, a classic thick bushy tail, a long, dark muzzle on a distinctly wolfish face, and inquisitive but innately intelligent brown eyes. That was my Angel. Her name was apt not only for her good looks, but for a loyalty to her family that was legendary. Angel was wild like the country in which she was raised; we called it Big Sky Country, otherwise known as Montana. She decided to explore that big country several times and could be gone for several days at a time. However, if there was something that I could always count on, like the return of the long, cold winters high up in the Montana mountains, it was that Angel would always find her way back to us. I will always believe it was because of how she felt about us, her human pack.

Sasha and Jalean
Today Dejai was graduating. Although it was only 5th grade, it was a big deal. Our family had experienced a great loss. On May 1st of 2017 my son passed away from a terminal asthma attack. In our culture, we celebrate the life left behind, not the void left inside of us. All we knew how to do was embrace one another and keep each other close.

Furry Healer
It was mid summer in Florida when my husband had to leave abruptly. Making his journey to becoming a kidney transplant recipient in New York. I was to follow shortly in our truck, but my mother had fallen Ill as well and the business she created that was supporting us had gone down with her. Her diagnosis wasn’t easy because it was a mental illness, hallucinations and agoraphobia. I was left alone with my dog, Dixon while trying to figure out which way was up. Dixon my 6 year old Shih Poo, or as we like to call him, “Shih-Wok”, watched from the stairs as I fell to my knees in tears, completely paralyzed by my burnt out emotions. He’s not normally the most affectionate dog, doesn’t kiss often but when he does, he means it. He ran down the stairs, paws screeching with urgency, he sat beside and consoled me, paw on my knee. He comforted me in these times like no human could. No need for words, just momentary bliss and affection I needed to get through what was the hardest part of our lives thus far. My husband and I had only been married 3 years before his kidney failure at 34 years and a healthy active man.

Backcountry camping with a dog is the best
By Scott Kelley The Sierra Nevada are a rugged mountain range in California and Nevada of granite spires, high-altitude meadows, tumbling creeks, and ice cold lakes. In other words, it’s wilderness paradise, especially for backpackers like myself who like unplugging from society and roughing it for a few days.

The Last Gift From My Grandpa. Runner-Up in 24/7 Companion Challenge.
7 A.M. — the usual morning lineup. The alarm sings and I snooze it. Several times. With my eyes wide shut, I fumble around in the dark for the only solid thing on my bed. Finally, my fingers curl around fine, rough hair, and my arm tugs it close. I can hear the air leaving his body as he settles in as my little spoon. While my alarm sounds again for the fifth time — it’s now 7:45 — he slings his head over my arm and uses it as his pillow. Not an upgrade from the plush throw he was laying on before I interrupted his beauty sleep, but a pillow nonetheless.

Four Paws and One Big Heart
Where do you go when the pain inside is unbearable? When your heart is breaking and you just can't seem to connect with life in the real world? I was walking around mummified. I was in auto-emotive mode. Wake up, eat, dress, go to work, come home, get in bed and cry... rinse, repeat.

13 Signs Your Dog is Stressed, Depressed or Sad
Just like people, dogs have rich interior lives and are capable of experiencing a wide range of emotions, both positive and negative. Dogs can’t speak, so they communicate their feelings in other ways. When a dog is stressed, depressed, or sad, their behavior changes. As a dog owner, it’s important to be able to recognize these signs so that we may take action and help alleviate these negative feelings in our canine companions before they lead to serious issues. Prolonged or chronic stress may compromise a dog’s overall health and welfare by weakening their immune systems and causing behavioral issues.
