Fatherhood comes in many forms.🤍

It’s in the dad teaching a child to ride a bike, the father answering late-night calls from grown children and the man who quietly shows up day after day, no matter what.

It’s in the single dads doing it all, the stepdads who chose to love, the adoptive and foster dads who opened their hearts and homes and the grandfathers who stepped in when they were needed most.

It’s in the father figures, mentors, coaches, uncles, brothers, teachers, and friends who guide, encourage, protect and believe in us.

Today, we also hold space for those longing to be fathers, those grieving the loss of a child and those carrying the memory of a father they miss deeply.

Fatherhood isn’t one story. It isn’t one path.

It’s strength and gentleness.
Leadership and sacrifice.
Lessons and laughter.
Protection and presence.
It’s showing up, again and again, with love.

Today we celebrate all fathers, father figures and the countless ways they leave their mark on our lives.

Happy Father’s Day. 🤍

Cucumber 🥒

🐾Key Benefits
* Hydration Boost: Perfect for hot summer days, their high water content keeps your dog refreshed and helps prevent dehydration.
* Weight Management: Virtually free of fat and very low in calories, they are the ideal crunchy snack for dogs on weight-loss regimens.
* Freshen Breath: The high moisture and phytochemicals can naturally help wash away bacteria in the mouth.
* Nutrient Rich: Packed with Vitamin K (which supports bone health) and Vitamin C (which acts as an antioxidant).
* Safe for Diabetics: Because they contain minimal sugar, they make a perfectly safe training reward for diabetic pups.

🐾How to Feed Them Safely
* Cut into bite-sized pieces: This prevents choking, especially in smaller dogs.
* Portion control: Treats should only make up 10% of your dog’s daily diet.
* Peel the skin: While safe, the skin can sometimes be tough for dogs to digest.
* Remove the seeds: Similar to the skin, large quantities of seeds can occasionally upset a sensitive stomach.
* Avoid Pickles: Only feed plain cucumbers. Pickles are packed with spices, vinegar, and high levels of sodium, which can be toxic to dogs.

🐶 Portion & safety tips
