Merrick Backcountry Raw Infused Dog Food

Image
I’ve noticed that as my chocolate lab Coco has gotten older her eating habits have changed. We rescued Coco as a young dog approximately two years old so we never really had her as a puppy. When she was young she would devour any amount of food that we put out for her as soon as the bowl hit the ground. That led to us splitting her food into two servings during the day so that she wouldn’t eat her entire quota of food in the morning and be hungry and begging for food the rest of the day. Now, as an eight year old “senior” dog Coco has lower energy needs than those of a young pup. She tends to eat when she wants and only as much as she wants. Some days she’ll still eat all two cups of her kibble right away, other times she’ll snack when she feels like it, and sometimes she’ll look at it and look back at me as if to say “The exact same kibble again dad? Really?”, and proceed to wait me out to see if she gets offered something better – she usually wins Recently she has slowed down eati...

Fitness and Adventure on SI.com On Father’s Day, ski star Bode Miller honors the man behind his success Aspiring winter athletes across the country and around the world look up to Bode Miller. They do so with good reason; with six medals to his name, Miller is the most decorated male Olympic skier in U.S. history. But it was a long climb to that pinnacle. Years ago, before the medals and acclaim, Bode was a little boy in New Hampshire who looked up to his father, Woody.
