Trying to find a better food option for Torch bc I didn't love how he was doing on Inukshuk 30/20 and Marine 25 but rapidly losing my mind ✨️

Is it protein source? Protein %? Fat %? Protein/fat ratio? Other ingredients? Is this dweeb just not drinking enough water for his poops to be nice because he's in a cone rn?? Idk!!!!!!!

Public Art, Vancouver (No. 8)

Bernar Venet’s monumental work 217.5 Arc x 13 is part of his Arc series of sculptures which illustrate the beauty, balance, and malleability of raw steel. The name of this artwork is a precise description of its mathematical composition. All of the beams in the sculpture are nested and curved to the same angle providing a sense of balance and grace. Venet employs mathematical manipulations of this industrial material to explore the interconnected relationships amongst nature, humanity, and the universe. The repetitive thirteen curves give a resting yet rhythmic sense of movement and fluidity. The raw red-brown rust colour of the unpainted surfaces of the corten steel, an authentic surface upon which Venet insists, facilitates an interaction with the natural elements.  This sculpture was acquired by the Vancouver Biennale Legacy Foundation in 2007.

“Increasing levels of abstraction and complexity frighten those for whom art is a means to attain a comfortable expression of calm, luxury, and delight.” – Bernar Venet

An inukshuk (stone landmark or cairn) stands on the shore of Mallik Island in Mallikjuaq Territorial Park near Kinngait, Nunavut, Canada. Opposite is southwestern Baffin Island, the fifth largest island in the world.

The word “#inukshuk” means “in the likeness of a human.” For generations, #Inuit have been creating these impressive stone markers on the vast Arctic landscape.

Summer maintenance feed is in. We picked up Inukshuk 26/16.

Was waiting until the 30/25 was finished before switching over, so Zarya ended up putting on a few extra pounds. Her mom Luna is 43 lbs or 19.5 kg; Zarya ended up being 27 kg which is similar to Pavel's weight. She was maintaining 20 kg throughout the entire winter, so she definitely needed the extra calories during the cold spells. My fault. To be fair, the owner of Zarya's sire (Bo) roads his dogs total of 30-50 km a week (or 15 - 25 km twice a week.) So, will have to road her as well as soon I find a Springer bicycle attachment. Last one was gifted while staying in Finland, then returned it before moving back to Canada since I'm not really allowed to own anything that doesn't fit into a carry-on or checked luggage.

The chunkier pellet is the Inukshuk 30/25 which sheens, and is dark brown. The lighter tan discs are the 26/16.

I like how I can switch between the different tiers of 26/16, 30/25 and 32/32 without adjusting the feeding volume. That was always a pain with one of our previous dogs who was always hungry if you change the volume (regardless of calorie density), and most pet food manufacturers don't keep their manufacturing and formulations consistent. Zarya seems to be less picky about this product compared to the Purina ONE dry food. She will only eat wet variation of the Purina ONE formulation, as long it's not a stew or in a gravy form and has a texture more similar to ground meat or paté. I need to be really clear: there is a lot Corey Nutrition Company should improve upon to make their products better as indicated in the review of the 30/25, especially with tightening up control over the excess minerals. They have the equipment and infrastructure to have those quality control in place, so not going to give the 'small business" excuse a pass like most social media influencers and pet guardians or pet parents.

The bags cost $60 CAD through a wholesaler which ends up being between $20 to $30 a month. Normally a similar bag from the petstore will end up be $80-$120 dollar. It's very unlikely I will get a similar discount with Royal Canin or Purina unless I run a large kennel program. Once we go back to paying retail prices on Inukshuk, I would be a lot more strongly critical of the processing plants.

Inukshuks of the Avalon.

I love finding these. Might make one myself on my next hike.

Inukshuk

It no longer drips.

It sprays.

Like a hose left in the sun.

Like a branch quivering in the current.

Like puff unfurling from lung.

Like a vision quest never returned from.

Red dirt and verdant earth,

You anticipate my return less than I.

Part your maw for me and I would dive

Straight in with a shimmy and a smile.

You have placed in me a seed

And I now know what to do with those. Or rather where they go.

The force of love is overwhelming.

It no longer drips.

It sprays.

Like a sun bleached skull

Like a herd moving as one

Like a whoop and thromb of drum

Like a blink of the eyes and it's done
