Allowed to Grow Old: Portraits of Elderly Animals from Farm SanctuariesThere's nothing quite like a relationship with an aged pet a dog or cat who has been at our side for years, forming an ineffable bond. Pampered pets, however, are a rarity among animals who have been domesticated. Farm animals, for example, are usually slaughtered before their first birthday. We never stop to think about it, but the typical images we see of cows, chickens, pigs, and the like are of young animals. What would we see if they were allowed
There's nothing quite like a relationship with an aged pet--a dog or cat who has been at our side for years, forming an ineffable bond. Pampered pets, however, are a rarity among animals who have been domesticated. Farm animals, for example, are usually slaughtered before their first birthday. We never stop to think about it, but the typical images we see of cows, chickens, pigs, and the like are of young animals. What would we see if they were allowed to grow old? Isa Leshko shows us, brilliantly, with this collection of portraits. To create these portraits, she spent hours with her subjects, gaining their trust and putting them at ease. The resulting images reveal the unique personality of each animal. It's impossible to look away from the animals in these images as they unforgettably meet our gaze, simultaneously calm and challenging. In these photographs we see the cumulative effects of the hardships of industrialized farm life, but also the healing that time can bring, and the dignity that can emerge when farm animals are allowed to age on their own terms. Each portrait is accompanied by a brief biographical note about its subject, and the book is rounded out with essays that explore the history of animal photography, the place of beauty in activist art, and much more. Open this book to any page. Meet Teresa, a thirteen-year-old Yorkshire Pig, or Melvin, an eleven-year-old Angora Goat, or Tom, a seven-year-old Broad Breasted White Turkey. You'll never forget them.Binding Type: Hardcover

The BEST kids tennis shoes
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Black/Green
I just bought a second pair of these for my son. The first pair lasted a whole school year, which is pretty good for an active 4 year old, and he still loves them though they look a bit beat up. Got him a new pair for his birthday and he’s so excited. Worth every penny. True to size and they are apparently very comfortable.

I will keep buying these
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black Orange, Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black Orange
This is the third time I have purchased these shoes. Every time my son grows out of them I buy the next size up. His favorite color is orange, so he loves the look of these. They are also soft mesh around the toes, which he loves so he can wiggle his toes. These are durable and well made. The pair i purchased before these is still wearable, just too small for him now. These are his daily shoes. The price has gone up since my first purchase, but they still are not unreasonable for how long they last. He is an active boy. He climbs trees, runs, and plays hard. So for any show to last 6 months when he wears them daily it shows the durability. It also shows that these shoes have tread on them thay stops him from slipping. He is able to move around freely and never has issues with grip. He puts them on without difficulty.

Overall, the Assert 10 combines comfort, durability, and style, making it a reliable choice for active kids. They hold up well after repeated wear and are easy to clean, making them a great value for parents.
Pros:
Lightweight, breathable mesh upper
Cushioned midsole for comfort and shock absorption
