WSI Ottawa is a Double Winner at the 2022 WMA Awards
September 20, 2022
Ottawa, ON – For the fourth year in a row, the Web Marketing Association (WMA) recognized WSI Ottawa for excellence in web design and development, this time with awards for two separate projects. WSI Ottawa received the 2022 Consumer Good Standard of Excellence 2022 WebAward for Everything Raw; and the Non-Profit Standard of Excellence 2022 WebAward for The Heart of Orléans.
Winning two more WMA awards is a huge accomplishment for the co-owners and Managing Partners of WSI Ottawa, Mark Jamieson and Kimberly Archambault. The recognition is great, but they really get excited by hearing how much the websites they create are successful for their clients. Managing Partner Kimberly Archambault says “Coming up with creative website solutions that support marketing and provide an excellent user experience is our passion! We are grateful for the opportunity to work with excellent clients such as Everything Raw and the Heart of Orléans BIA and look forward to strong continued partnerships with them”.
Everything Raw is a raw pet food retailer located just outside Ottawa, ON, and they were looking for a new trend-setting website that could seamlessly bring together their online and brick-and-mortar business streams. The new eCommerce website that WSI Ottawa created for them is the central component of a full digital marketing partnership program, including search engine optimization and PPC advertising.
The Heart of Orléans Business Improvement Area (BIA) needed a new website that would speak to two distinct audiences: it needs to market the business district to potential shoppers and keep its member businesses up to date with what’s happening. Most noticeably, the bilingual website also includes a business directory highlighting the 350 shops, restaurants and service providers who make up the BIA.
The Web Marketing Association’s annual WebAward Competition started in 1997 and is considered an industry benchmark for marketing, web design and development standards. The competition invites entries from 97 industries and the participating websites, and their development teams are judged by independent experts from all over the world. Only the best of the best make it to the shortlist and are crowned winners in various categories. Winners are presented with a prestigious WMA WebAward that is a testament to their digital marketing prowess.
WSI Ottawa is an award-winning digital marketing agency specializing in web design and development, search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click advertising (PPC), and social media marketing. For over 25 years, the WSI Network of online digital marketing experts have been helping companies of all sizes across Canada & the USA better understand & leverage the power of the Internet as a strategic digital marketing tool that drives leads and sales.

It was always a rocky road, establishing new traditions within a family. Naturally, the two men wouldn’t make it that hard, but they wouldn’t make it so easy, either — it did not mean that it would be any less fun, or any less messy, that was for sure.

Navigating the household that belonged to the two men that lay slumbering was no easy feat – not when there were two puppies hellbent on disrupting the peace of the early morning with their yips and demands for attention.
“Babies, babies- Come on, quiet now,” you hissed, petting their heads hastily. The loungewear you had thrown on when you clambered out of bed was being attacked by paws, claws, and tongues as the two puppies jumped from their crates. “Hush, shh!”
Cap and Cleo just stared at you from the floor, heads tilted. “Inside voices, alright?” you pleaded, scratching their chins. “They’re asleep–don’t wanna wake them up now, do you?” They huffed and grumbled low in their throats, then sat back on the floor. “Exactly. Let’s get you some breakfast and then you can go outside and play.”
The two puppies inhaled their breakfast with as little as a tail wag, and then they stormed outside onto the dewy grass that was covered in fallen leaves. You sighed and closed the sliding door behind them, chuckling as they tumbled through the leaves and chased one another.
Fall had arrived faster than you could anticipate, and with it, you were itching to get started for Halloween – carving pumpkins, drinking hot chocolate (which Bucky and Steve splashed a bit of whiskey in, ignorant of your displeasure), and heading into town for the Fall Markets.
Today, however, you had warned them that you were breaking out the flour and sugar; it was bake day, a tradition you had come up with on the spot when you had searched the web for Halloween cakes.
Bucky and Steve were both still asleep. When you had shuffled down the mattress to throw on some clothes, Bucky was the only one to stir, and he pulled Steve close in place of you. The sight warmed your heart.
It didn’t stop you from walking to the kitchen and mentally preparing for what was to come, though.
With Cap and Cleo fed and outside, you turned the coffee maker on with a whirl and you grabbed three mugs from the cabinet. “This should wake them up,” you mumbled as you placed the mugs in a line in front of the machine that hissed and gurgled as it worked.
The smell of fresh brew filled the kitchen, and you turned to the pantry, determined to set out the ingredients for what was needed.
“Flour.” A large white bag hit the counter with a dull thud. “Sugar.” The small container of raw sugar and the larger tub of granulated sugar thumped onto the counter. “What about- Hmm.” You stopped and stared at the shelves of spices, eyeing off the cinnamon amongst many others. “Fuck it.” The cinnamon moved to the counter as well as the salt and baking powder.
All of the other ingredients you needed lined the counter after a few more twirls, and you stopped to consider just how you were going to pull this off. The recipe, one you had found during your hunt for the perfect cake, promised that this was ‘The most faboolous Halloween treat’, and while the photo certainly made that impression, you were not the most successful baker – average at best, you hoped.
You hummed and looked towards the bedroom door where Bucky and Steve slept. They would have their work cut out for them, you decided – you needed their help.
The coffee machine beeped and steam flew from the now full jug of coffee. “Perfect timing.”
Just as you started to pour the dark, smooth, god-send of a liquid, you heard footsteps down the hall. Arms wrapped around your middle and you were pulled into a warm, strong chest. A chin rested on your shoulder and the person huffed.
“Good mornin’, Cherry, baby,” Bucky rasped, and he kissed you on the cheek. “Whatcha makin’? Smells good.”
“Hey, Buck,” you replied, smiling at him. “Coffee–I need yours and Stevie’s help today. Do you think you could go wake him up?”
He sighed. “Do we gotta, sweetheart? That bastard is grumpy in the mornin’s.”
“Yes, we do. And we're baking today, remember,” you reminded him, pointing a spoon at his nose. It dripped coffee as he pouted. “Please go wake your husband up.”
“Fine,” he grumbled, and he let go of you to pad back towards the bedroom. You turned then to look at him – grey sweats hung low on his hips and he shuffled his feet while he rubbed his eyes. His hair was in a messy bun that had more strands loose than tied back. “I can feel you starin’.”
“And?”
Bucky looked over his shoulder and winked before he disappeared behind the door of the bedroom. There was a squeak from the mattress, then a whooping call. “Wake up, husband!”
A loud groan answered Bucky’s shout and you chuckled. The springs of the mattress creaked and another grunt of surprise. “Get off’a me, you bastard,” Steve barked.
“Nope,” Bucky replied, and there was laughter in his voice. “Cherry said you had t’a get up, so you are gettin’ up, you lazy son of a bitch.”
“Boys!” you yelled over the arguing, and they fell silent. “I have coffee. Get your butts out here.”
There were rapid footsteps hurrying down the hall after your words, and you giggled. “I got ‘im!” Bucky said proudly, puffing up his chest. “See, it worked.”
You rolled your eyes and looked at Steve, who was blinking and smiling sleepily at you. “Hey, darlin’.” His body was warm as he pulled you into a hug, and you sighed happily. “Now that you sent this oaf after me, what are we doing?”
“We are baking a cake–I made sure to have everything ready.” You pointed at the ingredients lined on the counter, and Bucky reached over to grab his and Steve’s cup of coffee. “And you know I need my two best helpers to make this work. So, Buck,” you said, looking at him.
He stared back at you with wide eyes over his coffee mug, and he hastily swallowed before standing to attention. “Ma’am?”
You snorted. “You are on mixing duty. The bowls are there, and I need these amounts,” you explained, handing him a slip of paper with measurements for both the dry and wet ingredients. “Don’t forget, different bowls for the wet and dry.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Bucky said seriously with a salute. He marched to the counter, straight-backed and with perfect military precision.
“Drama queen,” Steve muttered.
“And you,” you piped in before Bucky could snipe back. “I will get you to help me with the oven and pouring the mixture into the trays.”
“Got it.” Steve walked over to the cupboard that held the baking trays and pulled out a few to prepare them. You couldn’t help but stare at his navy sweats as they clung to his ass, and the tight, white tank top that was far too tight over his chest. “You stare any longer, honey, and we’ll be baking this cake on our own.”
“Shut up,” you mumbled, averting your eyes as both Bucky and Steve chortled. “Anyway, I will get the things needed for icing–I want to make it purple and orange. What do you two think?” They hummed an ascension and you walked to the fridge to get the cream, having already organised the dye earlier.
The three of you worked together to start the cake off, somewhat successfully. Bucky was covered in flour after a much too enthusiastic moment of mixing, and Steve, the smug bastard, had thrown a handful of it at his husband and it landed on target – the side of Bucky’s head, turning his brown locks into white.
“You motherfu-”
“Language!” you laughed, arching a brow. “Or I’ll wash your mouth out with soap.”
“Since the fuck when!” Bucky argued, his mouth falling slack at the incredulity. “I’ve been swearin’ like a sailor this whole damn time and only now you have a problem wi-”
A cloud of flour exploded over his chest and neck, forcing him to clamp his mouth shut so he wouldn’t inhale the powdered mess. You lowered your hand, now covered in the incriminating evidence, as Bucky blinked and coughed; clouds of white exploding around him.
“Cherry, run!” Steve warned, but you couldn’t move – you were rooted to the spot as your heart hammered and you fought the urge to laugh hysterically.
Bucky put the bowl in his hands down on the counter, shaking his head from the worst of the mess. His eyes found yours, and he stared – a flash of playful anger danced in his eyes before they darkened, that mischievous glint you were oh so used to there to stay. “Yeah, Cherry,” he said slowly, deeply. “You better fuckin’ run, ‘cause if I catch you…”
You hightailed it from the kitchen with a squeal of laughter, your feet slapping on the tile as you bolted towards the dining room. “Oh, shit!”
All you could hear over the pounding of blood in your ears and Bucky’s feet on the floor as he chased you was Steve’s laughter in the kitchen – you could see him bent double by the oven, barely able to stay upright in his mirth. “Steven Grant! Help me!”
“You’re on your own,” Steve called, finally sinking to his knees in the kitchen, unable to stand any longer.
“You bastard!” you hollered back, dodging Bucky’s hands as he rounded the table. “Help me!”
“No one can, Cherry! I’ll get you!” Bucky sang, and he launched himself at you.
You shrieked and dodged to the side before running off again, this time straight back to the kitchen and directly towards Steve, whose bed head was all of what you could see of the blond, his head bowed in hysterics while his shoulders shook from laughter.
“Think fast!” you said quickly, and you jumped behind him, crouching behind his bulk as Bucky skidded to a halt. Steve straightened and held his arms out, placing himself firmly between the fuming brunette and you. “Thank you, finally you’re useful.”
“Excuse me?” Steve huffed. “For that, you can deal with ‘im on your own.” He put his arms down just as Bucky grinned wickedly.
You watched, transfixed with fear, as Bucky’s hand dug into the bag of flour. “Barnes, no, don’t- Don’t do it.”
“Or what?” he challenged, stilling his hand. “What will you do?”
“I will forbid you from having any cake, or cookies, that I bake!” The threat didn’t dissuade him, however.
Flour flew through the air and landed square on your middle while the residue fell to your thighs, and then onto the floor. Bucky cheered and fist pumped. “Bullseye!”
You looked down at your body, then back up at Bucky with a smirk. “Oh, it’s on now.” Launching yourself forward, you hugged Bucky tightly and spread the loose flour on his own shirt. As he groaned and squirmed to get out of your grip, you pushed him back so you could dig your own hand into the bag of flour.
“Cher-” Bucky warned, but he was cut off by a fistful of flour hitting him dead in the face. He sneezed continually and shook his head while you laughed. White powder covered his face and caked his stubble. The entirety of his front was covered and he looked like your very own Casper the Ghost. “Goddammit!”
Before you knew what was happening, another ball of the ammunition of choice landed on the back of your neck. You whirled around to see Steve’s hand covered in the powder. “That’s it!” you hollered. “All bets are off now.”
Flour flew through the air, landing on every surface of the kitchen and turning it white, much like your clothes, skin, and hair. You could hear laughter and curses as projectiles hit their targets, and the more you threw, the worse the cloud of white became until you could barely see where you were aiming.
“Uncle! Uncle–oh my god,” Steve coughed, and through the haze, you saw him bent double and panting for breath. He was as white as a sheet, and his eyes, the ocean blue you had fallen for, popped in the contrast of the flour that caked his face.
Bucky huffed and landed one final hit to finish off – right on top of Steve’s head. “Serves you right, fucker,” he said.
You panted and looked around the kitchen as the clouds of white settled. It was a mess – flour covered every surface, and the cake that you had put so much thought into sat abandoned on the counter with far too much flour to be worth saving.
“We made a right mess,” you sighed. “Look at it, and the cake can’t be saved.”
“Wasn’t my idea,” Bucky petulantly stated, crossing his arms. The action made another cascade of flour fall to the floor. “You two started it.”
“Did not,” Steve grumbled, frowning at Bucky. “Bastard.”
“Punk.”
“Jerk!”
“Boys!” They both looked at you, brows furrowed. “Let’s get cleaned up and then we can clean the kitchen, okay? We have a cake to bake, and this time, actually bake.”
“We look like ghosts,” Steve said suddenly, and he pointed at Bucky and you. “Look.”
“Oh my god, we do!” you giggled, while Bucky stared, unimpressed, between the two of you. “Fine. Come on.”
They followed you to the bathroom, and after over an hour of cleaning the flour from one another’s hair, you ventured back into the kitchen, hands on your hips. Bucky grumbled and pouted while he wiped down counters, and Steve huffed while he vacuumed and mopped the floor.
By the end of the afternoon, you stood proudly between the two men as you looked at the final product of all of the combined hard work – a triple layered cake, covered in white icing with small orange pumpkins decorating the bottom ring. Cutouts of purple bats and black cats covered the top. “It’s so pretty,” you whispered.
“We did good,” Bucky replied, kissing Steve and then you on the cheek. “But I think I know how to make it better.”
“How?”
“We eat it.”
Steve sighed and shook his head. “You’re impossible, babe.”
“What?” Bucky asked, looking at Steve. You turned and put your hands on Bucky’s chest, forcing him to walk backwards and away from the cake. He put his arms out with his palms up in a shrug, and he dug his heels in. “Tell me I’m wrong.”
“After all I went through to make the damn thing?” you asked, arching a brow at him, and you pushed harder, making him stumble. “You won’t touch a single dollop of icing.”
Bucky sighed and hung his head. “Fine, whatever.”
“Drama queen!” Steve called from the kitchen, and Bucky flipped him off while you shook your head.
“You both are,” you said with an air of finality. “And I love you both for it.”
“We love you, too,” they both said at the same time, and then they devolved into an argument over who loved you more.
“No, punk–that’s a fuckin’ lie-”
“How would you know; all you love is her fucking baking.”
“I do! And the rest of her!”
You sighed and stared at the cake behind Steve’s back, happy that you had at least maintained the new tradition – not without causing havoc, but you would choose to have that flour fight as part of it, ‘till the end of time.

If you want lighter stuff maybe drider boyfreind scrambling to make sure everything is perfect for his new pet human and heavily researching human diet
I adored this idea so it ended up being a long one ^_^ how cute <3
Drider (Vass) x Gender neutral reader
Word Count: 1Kish
W: sfw monster fluff
Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part Six
Request , Request, Request
The drider flipped another tab open on his phone. Toys for your human. After he’d taken you to the pet shop, he’d realized he hadn’t really prepared to adopt you. He’d found you sleeping in the forest separated from your tribe and you were just so cute, he’d picked you up and taken you home without a thought.
You were hanging in a cocoon of silk, napping as he rocked you with his foot.
At the pet shop they’d had clothes, leashes, packets of human treats, and a whole lot of other supplies. He had no idea what he really needed, so he’d scrambled home to research before he bought anything.
What do humans eat? He typed into the browser. He’d seen a bunch of bags of human food at the store, but it all looked dry and brown. He was sure that couldn't be good for you. A bunch of links popped up. Mostly advertisements for human kibble. He had to adjust his search to What do humans eat in the wild?
That turned up more promising results. Fruit, cooked meat, nuts, cooked tubers…it turned out you had a pretty varied diet. His food mostly consisted of raw meat he bought at the market. Most driders didn’t cook their food so he worried over what he should do.
According to the article humans should have lots of protein to be healthy. He couldn’t feed you fruit alone as he had been. He’d only assumed that’s what you ate because of your flat teeth and you hadn’t spat it out. He needed to learn how to cook if he was going to care for you properly.
Of course, since driders didn’t cook there weren’t a lot of articles on the subject on the web. The most recipes they had were chopped raw meat seasoned with herbs on festival days. All he knew about cooking was that he needed fire and seasonings.
He surmised you would need some sort of container to hold the food in, since it would be hot, so he ordered a metal bowl with a wooden handle. Then he picked out a gas flame used for chemistry, and some rods and tongues from the same scientific supplier.
According to his research cooking was achieved by bringing the meat or starch to a certain temperature to kill bacteria and parasites the delicate human stomach couldn’t fight. That sounded simple enough, so he added a thermometer to his order.
Then the food could be further flavored with herbs. He frowned. The only herbs he had were for the festival and those were kind of sacred. He wasn’t hyper religious but he followed traditions. Researching some herbs that were human safe as we went, he strapped you to his back to go find them in the forest.
You woke up bouncing in a sling over his shoulders a little confused and tapped him to get his attention.
“Are you awake, Dumpling?” he asked, pulling your sling to his front so he could look at you, “we’re hunting for herbs. Do you know what herbs humans like look like?”
You wracked your brain, but you’d never been a cook in your tribe. You were a trapper and that’s all you knew about. Shaking your head you looked at him with a frown.
He pinched your cheek.
“That’s okay,” he assured you, “we’ll find something good. I’ve got an app to identify them.”
You all poked around for a while until Vass found some kind of red fruit. He plucked one and examined it, checking it on his phone.
“I think this is called a tomato,” he said, handing it to you, “do you want to try it? The web says it's good for humans.”
You nodded and took a big bite, chewing enthusiastically.
Only it was not a tomato! Your mouth exploded with heat and you coughed violently, drooling from the spicy pepper. Vass watched in horror as his precious human appeared to be dying from some kind of horrible poisoning. Your face was red, you were frothing at the mouth, and wracking.
“What’s wrong?!” he shrieked louder than you’ve ever heard him speak, grabbing your cheeks and examining you, looking for some way to fix it.
He shook you as you tried to slow your coughing.
“Speak Dumpling! Speak! What’s wrong?! How do I fix it?” he rattled, panicked.
You looked up at him with tears running down your face and uttered one word.
“Hot,” you gasped before dissolving back into a coughing fit.
He pulled you to him, your face clamped between his palms, and pressed his mouth to yours, shoving his tongue between your lips. You were dazed by the pepper and confused by his kiss. It took you a moment to realize your mouth was cooling down as Vass spread a tiny amount of the numbing agent he used to kill his prey mixed with his saliva over the burning flesh.
Your coughing slowed and you panted against his lips. He finally pulled away and rubbed your back, breathing deeply as if he had been the one under siege by spice.
“No more spice hunting today,” he wheezed, “I’ll just use the festival spices until I can order something else.”
__
A few days later you sat happily in a swing Vass had made for you while you waited to sample his first attempt at cooked food. It smelled good, so you were optimistic. You’d watched him craft it with precision, carefully slicing the cut of meat into chunks to be small enough for your mouth and marinating it in something he kept calling festival spices and fruit juice.
Then he’d put it in a metal bowl and heated it until it smelled good, poking it with a little prod until he was happy with the reading on the small screen attached to it.
You held out your hands greedily, eager to try it. You hadn’t had cooked food since before Vass had kidnapped you from your tribe.
“Ah, ah, ah,” he said, swatting your hands away, “it has to cool back down to at least 90 degrees.”
You pouted until he finally speared a piece on his claw and fed you. You chewed, considering the flavor. The festival spices were actually some kind of curry, though you had no idea what curry was. Giving him an approving smile, you opened your mouth ready for more. It was delicious!
He fed you peacefully for a while, looking at you thoughtfully.
“You know, you got me curious, Dumpling,” he said, “I almost heard it a little bit, but…what does your voice sound like?”
You stopped mid chew, embarrassed. You hadn’t spoken in a long time it seemed and you weren't really sure it was allowed.
“Go ahead,” he said, waving a claw at you and withholding your next bite, “say something…quietly.”
You swallowed and wondered what you should say.
“Hi,” you murmured softly and he smiled.
“It’s pretty,” he said, then paused for a moment, “maybe…if you’re quiet...you can talk to me sometimes.”
“Okay,” you said just as softly and decided that was enough conversation for the night, opening your mouth again for food.
Vass chuckled and fed you until you were full and sleepy, curling you up on his chest to go to bed like he usually did.
“Goodnight Dumpling,” he whispered to the darkness.
“Goodnight, Vass,” you whispered back.

ship: dragonborn!sharon carter x reader
summary/request: the powerbroker finds a cute pet to keep her company.

masterlist | monsterfucker celebration 2022 masterlist
Even though monsters have long since integrated into society, there are so many practices that the sensitive humans squirm too much over. That's where places like Madripoor's black markets come into play.
The crowds pack in like sardines even on a drizzly night like this. Humanoid creatures of all shapes and sizes mill around the various stalls. Most of them are here for sustenance - markets like this one are usually geared towards providing food that can't be found in human restaurants, whether that means rare plants that can only be harvested by Elvish tribes or raw meats that would make most humans retch at the thought of eating.
Madripoor, being the city that it is, features a lot more than street food in its markets. Shady deals of stolen and counterfeit items are constant every night, usually resulting in a fight at some point. You, an unlucky soul, are one of the few humans that populate this area of town. Not by choice. If you had a choice, you certainly wouldn't be caged up, displayed on a stall like a betta fish in a pet store.
Trafficking was always a risk you knew about when you came to Madripoor. Hell, even back in the States, there were shushed cases of it happening among the rich and powerful - humans and monsters alike. There was once a rumor of the CEO of the company you temped at taking in a half-orc.
Here, though, all your fellow kennel mates are humans. You've watched a few of them get picked up throughout the night, their cries muffled by the gags. The minotaur handler must've thought you were more agreeable, because he only muzzled you, which for a human was mostly for show, since you lacked the snout to be hindered by the small cage.
The corner of the market that your stall is in is a little out of the way of most of the bustle, so it's easy for you to scrutinize everyone who walks past. Some of the patrons stop by the kennels, asking the minotaur about the prices, then scoffing and walking away. You can't understand whatever language he's speaking, but by their reactions you assume you're a high value pet.
You sigh, glaring at the minotaur as he slaps your cage with a hearty laugh while talking to a gruff looking centaur. They stamp their hooves against the ground, clearly unsatisfied with the minotaur's refusal to lower his price. Suddenly, something shiny reflects the light of the rusty streetlamp into your eyes, and you sit up to avoid the glare.
A clawed finger reaches into your cage, and your eyes trail up the arm to make eye contact with a dragonborn. Her bronze scales are almost golden when the light hits them, and you see a softness in her eyes that makes you curiously lean towards her hand. She opens her mouth to speak to you, but you can't make out the words so she turns to the minotaur and asks a question, to which he just snorts and says the first word you've been able to make out all night, "English."
"Thank you," she nods before turning her attention back to you. "Hello, little thing. I'm surprised nobody's snatched a pretty pet like you up yet.”
Your mind swims with emotions at that word. Pet. The thought should make you upset or angry, but this dragonborn’s voice seems genuine. Her tone is gentle with you as she keeps her claws tucked into your cage, but more serious as she turns to the handler and again speaks in a language you don’t know.
Her claws are sharp, and you can smell smoke on them as you lean close to nudge the cage of your muzzle against them. Not an unusual scent for a dragonborn. Suddenly, she retracts her hand and the door of the cage swings open. You scoot backwards as the minotaur approaches you, but your fear is assuaged by the dragonborn nudging him out of the way.
“Let me. They’re my pet now after all, aren’t they?"
“Whatever you say, Powerbroker,” he snorts, turning away from the two of you. Your eyes widen as she leans in to guide you out of the cage. You reflexively wrap your arms around her neck as she lifts you with ease. Her scales feel hard and cool against your skin and you shiver.
There’s no point in fighting back. You’d be dead in seconds if you attempted that on these dark streets. So you let yourself be wrapped up in a blanket the Powerbroker buys from a stall a few paces down.
“That’s better, hm?” She bumps her snout against your head. You nod sheepishly, holding the blanket tight around you. Her face is so close that you can feel her warm breath against your skin, the sharp curve of her fangs prominent in your eyeline. “Let’s go home.”
You learn that her name is Sharon Carter, when you hear her personal driver refer to her as such. The ride is silent as you sit beside your new owner, head tugged gently but firmly into her lap as she scrolls through her phone. Her claws click angrily against the screen, and you curiously eye it, wondering what could be upsetting her.
“Nothing interesting for you, pet,” she ruffles your hair. “Just boring business.”
Sharon keeps her hand on your head, petting gently, for the rest of the ride. When you finally arrive at her home, she lets you explore on your own. Crawling around the house - you were scolded when you tried to stand - you inspect as much as you can. She has practically no items that appear personal in any way, a fact you assume has to do with her mysterious Powerbroker title.
You hear her call you to the kitchen, and you move quickly to avoid upsetting her, already desperate to please. Whatever she’s been cooking smells so much better than the food you’d been given while you were caged. You sit at her feet as she puts something in a bowl, setting it on the floor in front of you alongside a bowl of water.
“I hope you like this, pet,” she sounds hesitant for the first time. “We’ll figure out for sure what human foods are your favorites. But until then, try that.”
The bowl is full of steamed rice and some grilled chicken. While the chicken is a little burnt for your taste, you eagerly devour the entire bowl in record time. Embarrassment about eating on the floor takes backseat to how hungry you are.
Tummy full of dinner, you let Sharon pick you up and carry you to the couch and settle you on her lap. The blanket she bought earlier is draped over your body, and you sigh contentedly, eyes drooping with exhaustion.
“Go on to sleep, pet. We have a lot to talk about in the morning.”

I hate the brand Fresh Pet. Like is it better than feeding kibble? Sure. But if you're gonna spring to pay for better food just feed raw. Can't afford straight raw? Mix. Like I can't go back after what I know.
Kibble- low quality ingredients, heat kills nutrition, no intracellular moisture. Full of preservatives Pro: affordable, lasts forever
Wet food- range of quality, still cooked, moisture but not intracellular pro: can put in a Kong I guess. Better than kibble
"Fresh" food- slightly better ingredients, still cooked so the nutrition is still deplenished in the process, moisture but not intracellular, usually not biologically appropriate and is shockly similar to human nutrition over the animals its meant for. pro: better than kibble. Con: smells, fridge space, only lasts like 4 days defrosted, pricey, not actually as nutritious as its being marketed as
Raw food- biologically appropriate, intracellular moisture, not cooked so max nutritional value, you can literally visually assess the quality of the ingredients or track the company's meat sources online. Comes in multiple forms. Downsides: freezer space and cost. Pros: literally all of it.

There is a lot of misinformation when it comes to pet food, I hope this can shed some light.
- Grains are necessary (Unless diagnosed with grain allergies by a veterinarian).
- Raw isn't always best. (Raw/home cooked diets need to be properly formulated by a board certified nutritionist to be balanced, more information below).
- Grain free can be dangerous.
- The vast majority of companies do not follow WSAVA guidelines.
- Veterinarians DO NOT get kick backs from suggesting food. How are they going to get a kickback from a food you didn't even buy from them? If anything, the pet store employees are getting kick backs for suggesting foods!
The “Big Five” Brands are the five brands that adhere to WSAVA guidelines (World Small Animal Veterinary Association).
Which are:
- Employs one or more full-time qualified nutritionist(s) and willingly discloses their credentials.
- Foods are formulated by a qualified team of professionals such as nutritionists, toxicologists, food scientists etc.
- Undergoes feeding trials that meet or exceed AAFCO standards, for most or all formulations.
- Foods are produced and manufactured in US facilities, owned and operated by the manufacturer, or under close supervision of the manufacturer. Equipped with machinery, laboratories and staff that provide extensive on-site quality assurance.
- Provides detailed description on quality control protocol. Selection criteria for partners, analysis and sample tracking of externally sourced ingredients, daily safety checks of product batches and facilities, physical inspection, key nutrient testing before final packing.
- Provides exact number for any nutrient on an energy basis (grams per kcal).
- Readily provides kcal content per gram and per cup.
- Conducts research relevant to nutrition, products marketed, and product claims. Publishes research in peer-reviewed journals.
So let’s get to it.
The “Big Five” Brands are:
Royal Canin - Breed specific lines that were created in conjunction with breeders and veterinarians, general health lines and targeted health lines + RX diets
Eukanuba - Owned by Royal Canin, mainly their performance lines + general health lines
Purina - Sport lines, general health lines, targeted health lines, most accessible and cost effective + RX diets
IAMS - General health lines, cost effective, easily accessible
Hills Pet - General health lines, targeted health lines + RX diets

These past few years, I have become a huge advocate for feeding fresh food to dogs to enhance their lives. However, you don't exactly have to transition your dog to a 100% fresh food diet in order to gain the benefits of fresh food.
Simply adding fresh food to your dog's kibble can go a long way in improving their nutrition and overall health. For instance, one study done a group of dogs in 2005 revealed that feeding vegetables just three times a week had significantly lowered their risk of developing cancer, compared to dogs who were only fed kibble.
Asian markets, in particular, have some very beneficial fresh food items that aren't typically found at your local grocery store. These food items, however, are not intended to fully replace your dog's food. Remember - too much of something good can be bad for you.
Instead, they should be offered in moderation as treats, or just small amounts topped over an already complete and balance meal. As a general rule of thumb, treats/toppers should never make more than 10% of your dog's overall diet.
Bok choy (Chinese cabbage) is full of essential vitamins and minerals needed to support a dog’s eyesight, cardiac function, digestion, bone strength, and immunity. Sulfurophane - a compound found in bok choy and other cruciferous vegetables - has been linked to inhibiting cancer cell growth, lowering blood pressure, and activating the nuclear factor Nrf2 which prevents the development of diabetes and its complications. Bok choy’s low calorie, high fiber content also make it a good option for a snack/food topper for dogs who need to control their weight.
Preparation: Lightly steam or boil for better nutrient absorption. Cooking will also help neutralize the enzyme (myrosinase) that can decrease thyroid function. You should also chop/trim their long leaves to avoid choking hazards.
Goji berries (wolfberries) are rich in amino acids, carotenoids which support healthy vision, and polyphenols that have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and cardio-protective properties. Studies on goji berry supplementation in animals have shown that it has the potential to help lower cholesterol, protect the liver by increasing hepatic antioxidant activity, as well as enhance metabolic homeostasis and prevent diabetes-induced renal inflammation.
Preparation: Remove stems if still attached and cut/mash berries. If dried, soak in water until softened to avoid passing straight through the GI tract and losing the benefits of its nutrients.
Offal refers to the internal organs and variety meats of animals that can be consumed as food (i.e. lung, heart, kidney, liver, gizzard, head, feet, etc.) The word 'offal' literally translates to "fall off", and thus, whatever falls off the skeleton during the butchering process. Offal is densely loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats - so small amounts go a long way. Pet owners who use these as ingredients as part of a complete and balanced recipe should keep in mind that each organ is unique in its nutrient profile - dependent on the animal it is sourced from and how it is raised. For example, grass-fed beef may contain less fat yet more vitamin A and E than grain-fed beef, and beef liver has significantly more vitamin A and copper than chicken liver.
Preparation: Boil in water or low-sodium broth. May also be baked or dehydrated into jerky treats.
Oyster mushrooms are a good source of protein and fiber, and vitamins that support healthy digestion. They can help to increase satiety and maintain healthy body weight. Oyster mushrooms are also full of pantothenic acid which help to maintain cognitive function and healthy skin/coat. Beta-glucans derived from oyster mushrooms have also been shown to reduce inflammation and strengthen immunity.
Preparation: Lightly sauté or boil in water or low-sodium broth. Raw or dried mushrooms can be difficult for dogs to digest.
Purple sweet potato (Ube or Okinawan sweet potato) are typically found in grocery stores more commonly during the fall/winter seasons. They contain more antioxidants than regular sweet potatoes due to the anthocyanins that cause their violet hue. While all potato varieties may impact blood sugar levels because of their high carbohydrate content, purple potatoes may exert less of an effect because of their high polyphenol content that decreases the absorption of starches in the intestines. In addition, they have been linked to improving blood pressure, likely due to their high potassium content.
Preparation: Peel skin and bake until soft for better digestibility and to prevent intestinal blockages. May be boiled and drained to reduce oxalate intake for dogs with a history of bladder stones, or prone to urinary issues.
Quail eggs are small, yet packed with protein and essential fatty acids, and have a higher ratio of iron, riboflavin, and vitamin b12 than chicken eggs. It is even safe and can be beneficial to feed them with the shells included for added calcium. Quail eggs have been linked to improving bone growth/healing, reducing liver damage, and increasing energy levels. While some studies have shown evidence of quail eggs treating allergies in humans and mice, they may be less likely to trigger reactions than chicken eggs in dogs who have poultry sensitivities.
Preparation: Wash thoroughly, and handle gently as they are more fragile due to their tiny size. Cooking methods are similar to that of chicken eggs, yet require less time.
Sardines contain all the amino acids your dog needs for optimal health, making it a "complete protein". They are also notorious for being rich in omegas and coenzyme q-10, which help support heart and brain health. What sets sardines apart from other fish, too, is that they are smaller and more short-lived species than larger predator fish and may have less of a risk for mercury poisoning. Because they are so small and have soft bones, you can feed them whole to your pets.
Preparation: Bake or dehydrate. If already purchased as dried, be sure to make sure there is no added salt or seasonings. If canned, preferably those stored in water only.
Sushi rice (Japanese sticky rice) has a high proportion of starch and moisture, giving it a stickier texture when cooked. Sushi rice has virtually zero fat, yet still provides a desirable balance of nutrients while remaining gentle on a dog’s digestive tract. Its higher iron content than regular rice supports healthy blood circulation and can provide more energy to dogs who are recovering from illness. Cooling/refrigerating the rice before serving also enables more retrogradation of prebiotic fiber, helping to lower glycemic responses and maximize intestinal function.
Preparation: Rinse thoroughly and soak in water (with 1tbsp apple cider vinegar - optional) before cooking. If you don’t have a rice cooker or instant pot, boil on the stove until the water is completely absorbed. May be cooked with bone broth for added flavor. You can also use small amounts of beet root powder, turmeric, or blue spirulina to add color and nutrients.

Inukshuk 30/25 Verdict
Product: Inukshuk 30/25 - 15 kg/33 lbs
Cost: $60 CAD
Length: October 13, 2023 - January 10, 2024 or 89 days (almost 3 months)
We mostly got this brand because we need a kibble which keeps well on the Great Divide Trail (1 130 km / 700 mi) where there are two weeks in-between resupply points.
Zarya does well on this product with 266 g per day. Lasts a long time due the high fat percentage and stores well. Can see why thru-hikers feed the 32/32.
Zarya is much happier on this stuff than Purina (Pro Plan Puppy, Purina ONE Beef and Brown Rice as well as the Lamb and Rice). But she much rather eat raw meat and brown rice than anything else. She keeps her weight on Inukshuk 30/25 and doesn't gain nor loses. So, for a fussy eater, this is good.
(No, I am not carrying a survival rifle to shoot marmot to feed Zarya on the trails! That's silly.)
Not a fan of the calcium-phosphorus levels, which ideally should stay under 1.0% calcium and 0.8% phosphorus on a dry matter basis. But found out only Hill's produces performance kibbles for working dogs with acceptable parameters and their product is only manufactured for military and police. So, can't really complain given there isn't a lot of alternatives on the market since neither Purina nor Royal Canin are any better with keeping excess minerals under control.
But even working and sporting dogs deserve food not taxing on their kidneys. Hopefully, pet food manufacturers will address excess minerals someday.
The only thing I don't like about Inukshuk is that the products are being promoted to law enforcement. And we're ACAB 1312 in this house. But one would be hard-pressed to find a brand which doesn't cater to LE or military in their promotional materials. Will have to check to see what Redpaw's or Kobuk's market shares are.
But for the price when everything is over $100 a bag? This one is a steal.
We ordered two more bags. Might need to pick up 26/16 for the summer when the heat waves become unbearable.

hi there!! i'm going to be adopting a senior kitty (15 years!!) soon. shes been fed a premade raw diet for a while (i think it's called primal?), and i want to switch her to dry if i can. im looking at purina pro plan right now and i wanted to ask: are the formulas significantly different, or are they just kinda a marketing thing? not the prescription stuff, but like for example, complete essentials vs indoor vs prime plus/senior?
I wouldnt be able to tell you much about the pet store versions, but if it were my cat I would go with a senior food with a lower protein. It will be easier on her kidneys than adult food.

For the flower ask game!
Violet and Bluebell <33
Flower Ask Game
Violet: Do you cook or bake? If so, what is it that you like to make?
Well, I do like cooking and baking, I just don't have any energy to do so oops. Plus living alone makes cooking a chore. But if I do cook I like roasting vegetables. I don't like preparing raw meat. I do like trying to make new Asian dishes. Last year I went to an Asian food market in a big city and got lotus root to use in making takikomi I think it was called? Unfortunately my dad got covid that week and I had to take care of him and it was exhausting that I ended up having to throw most of it away :(
I like baking walnut brownies!
Bluebell: Do you have any pets? If so what are their names?
This is Sally! She is my 19 year old lady cat and I've had her for 18 years. She's my baby girl. She is deaf and not the smartest kitty but I love her so much. She's probably back up to 5 pounds by now <3
This is Jenny. It's about the 2 year anniversary of her passing, so I'm thinking about her a lot lately, and im going to use this opportunity to share her with you. She was so sassy but lots of fun. She did this fun thing where she just plopped over on her side; we called it "Jenny do the plop!"
#ask game#thank you for the ask!#sally is my baby#technically jenny was my sisters cat but jenny never liked her lol#miss that stinker#wren askbox#flower ask game

Top 10 Profitable and Trending eCommerce Niches
Many companies are finding success with eCommerce, or internet commerce. The percentage of people who have made purchases from an online store rises to 93.5% when including all internet users worldwide. However, the plethora of eCommerce companies available in today's marketplaces make it challenging for new entrants to the space to identify the ideal partner. Businesses that cater to a certain niche in the marketplace can find some comfort in the growing popularity of eCommerce while the world as a whole moves inexorably toward digitization.
Let's learn everything we can about the various eCommerce areas, including their advantages and current trends listed in this article by Nivida Web Solutions - one of the excellent eCommerce development companies in India. We'll also discuss the best way to select a profitable company niche, as well as the current hot topics in eCommerce niches. Depending on their specific circumstances, companies can choose between two distinct business models, including the creation of their own eCommerce products and the reselling of products from other vendors. If you're looking for profitable niches in the online retail industry, interacting with our team is a no-brainer.
The market for online shopping only continues to expand. Its annual growth rate is predicted to be 23%. Because of this, there are a wide variety of potential online shopping subsets to explore. When starting up or expanding an existing firm, narrowing in on the right eCommerce niche can be challenging. Plus, not every online retail submarket is created equal in terms of revenue, ease of entry, or contentment of customers. The best course of action is to target successful and often searched-for online shopping themes. As a result, familiarity with the hottest markets for online sales is crucial. Here are some examples of hot, competitive eCommerce submarkets mentioned below by the most distinguished eCommerce development company in India - Nivida Web Solutions:
1. Pet & Pet Products:
People seek pet items. eCommerce pet items segment might be profitable. Shampoo, dog treats, raw dog food, pet supplies, etc. are common online pet purchases. Owners want to provide their pets with healthy, happy goods.
Organic pet food guarantees pets get the best nourishment available. Food and wellness items are popular eCommerce niches. Pet medications, vitamins, and food are popular on eCommerce platforms. This niche is in high demand globally for pet items.
2. On-Demand Subscription:
Subscriptions boost customization. Subscriptions are expected to be a top eCommerce trend in 2022. On-demand subscriptions save time and effort in the newspaper and milk industries. Customers choose the exclusive services of on-demand subscriptions when firms save their choices as well as needs. On-demand subscriptions offer stress-free shopping, tempting prices, and free shipping.
Subscriptions help businesses build an audience. Thus, sales and marketing can rise while customer acquisition improves. Beauty items, food, vitamins, grocery, etc. are popular on-demand eCommerce areas.
3. Home Office Equipment:
Since the Covid-19 incident, the idea of working at home has become increasingly popular. Many professionals prefer to work from the convenience of their own homes, and this necessitates a collection of office equipment and accessories specially designed for homes. Since the covid post-period, there has been a rise in the need for home office supplies. The rise of Covid-19, as well as the trend toward freelance work, has significantly increased demand for home office products.
As a result, one of the most lucrative areas to invest in is home office equipment for the Internet retail sector. On top of that, this sector has not experienced any setbacks, as many eCommerce development companies in India have committed to providing permanent work-from-home options for their employees.
4. ReCommerce:
The practice of reselling, often known as ReCommerce, has become increasingly common in recent years. Books, jewellery, clothing, electronics, etc., both new and used, are all part of what we call "ReCommerce." Using reCommerce, consumers may easily find deep discounts on otherwise expensive goods. Popular items at reCommerce include high-end apparel, accessories, electronics, and automobiles, notably electric vehicles.
A good return on investment can be expected in this segment of e-commerce because there are many consumers who are eager to indulge their need for luxury goods. Customers may browse through your selection of new and used goods with ease on the web, and then make an order with you in no time.
5. Eco-Friendly Products:
The people have been spurred into action regarding their environmental duties by the year 2022. Thus, eco-friendly goods are a no-brainer when discussing the most fruitful areas of online commerce. Items for the house, wardrobe, and highway can all be found here. Demand for eco-friendly goods is expected to soar in 2021, with a predicted 70 pct increase over the previous two years.
Therefore, when considering which eCommerce speciality will be most successful in 2022, it is worthwhile to focus on producing eco-friendly goods. You need only learn about the most in-demand items and begin catering to eco-conscious consumers.
6. Health & Wellness Products:
The market for health and fitness has expanded steadily since its inception. The public is health-conscious and willing to spend money on preventative measures. As a result of the health and wellness industry's meteoric rise to prominence, many companies are finding themselves in a crowded marketplace with competitors offering essentially the same items. Therefore, the best deals, the best items, and the best prices are what ultimately matter.
One promising area of online company growth is selling health and wellness items. Micro-niches are simple to enter, and you can get started with things like plant-based diets, collagen supplements, low-fodmap, brain supplements, etc.
7. Educational Toys:
Parents are having a hard time keeping their children engaged in learning as a result of the schools as well as other educational institutions being closed for health and security reasons. Children who are being taught at home have an immediate need for educational playthings. As a result, companies looking to break into the lucrative but cutthroat eCommerce industry can do so with relative ease by focusing on the educational toys niche. Learning toys, STEM toys, etc. are some examples of products that can be used in conjunction with instructional toys. Thinking of starting the educational toys eCommerce business? Get your eCommerce site built by the best and the leading eCommerce development company in India, Nivida Web Solutions.
8. Online Educational Courses:
Students are increasingly putting their faith in online education as the paradigm of the future. The Covid-19 period saw an increase in the popularity of online courses, which had the intended effect of bringing together students from different countries. Working professionals, students, as well as retirees can now make use of a wide variety of online course offerings from a number of different e-learning platforms.
Accordingly, selecting online education as a market for online stores can prove fruitful. The academic quality, job placements, certifications, course availability, etc. in this field are all safe bets, despite the fierce competition.
9. Print-On-Demand Products:
Product development in the print-on-demand paradigm occurs in response to customer orders. That's why this model produces no surplus and has a cap on output. Since goods are shipped out to clients immediately after production, inventory and vendor management issues disappear. Due to the low-hanging fruit nature of P.O.D. items and the relative ease with which they may be manufactured, many would-be business owners are drawn to give it a try.
In the P.O.D. eCommerce segment, clothing may be the most organised option, but accessories, giving ranges, etc. are close competitors. To succeed in the market for P.O.D. items, all you have to do is learn about them.
10. Beauty Products for Men:
The days of restricting beauty products to women have long since passed. The growing market for men's grooming supplies is a fantastic opportunity for online retailers. Because of the covid-19 shutdown, more men than ever are exploring the world of cosmetics. The public is now more attuned to male fashion requirements and gender-neutral styles because of the widespread dissemination of information made possible by social media.
You may dip your toes into the e-commerce market with relative ease by stocking your virtual shelves with male grooming products like shampoo and face wash. Even if you have to deal with some competition, it's not hard to market your products to become popular among men by focusing on three things: high quality, low cost, and niche appeal.

Dow, Freepoint to transform plastic waste into circular products
Dow and Freepoint Eco-Systems have announced an agreement for an estimated 65,000 metric tons per year of certified-circular, plastic waste-derived pyrolysis oil to produce new, virgin-grade equivalent plastics in Dow's US Gulf Coast operations. Together, Dow and Freepoint Eco-Systems are building a recycling system that converts plastic waste into valuable materials and fosters a circular economy for plastics in North America.
Dow is one of the world's leading materials science companies, serving customers in high-growth markets such as packaging, infrastructure, mobility and consumer applications. Freepoint Eco-Systems and its related companies are affiliates of Freepoint Commodities LLC, a global commodities merchant providing supply chain management services and eco-friendly products and solutions to its customers.
The pyrolysis oil will be produced at a new advanced recycling facility owned and operated by Freepoint Eco-Systems Eloy Recycling LLC, a Freepoint Eco-Systems affiliate. Once completed, the new advanced recycling facility, to be constructed in Arizona, will be ISCC Plus-Certified. The facility will process end-of-life plastic waste in the region, diverting it from landfills or incineration, by converting that waste into recycled pyrolysis oil. For every ton of plastic waste, approximately 70% is expected to be converted to pyrolysis oil and sold exclusively to Dow for phase one of the facility, beginning as early as 2026.
Utilizing the circular liquid supply, Dow will produce new products with virgin-grade equivalent plastics, replacing those made from conventional feedstock. The resulting circular products will be suitable for use in various applications including food-grade packaging (such as pet food, confectionery, and snacks) as well as medical and pharmaceutical packaging, while maintaining existing product performance and reducing reliance on fossil feedstocks.
"This agreement with Dow represents a substantial step toward accelerating the circular economy in the region and helps to scale what will be an important advanced recycling facility in the U.S.," added Jeff McMahon, managing director at Freepoint Eco-Systems. "We are expanding capabilities for more circular economy solutions for plastic waste globally."
"Our agreement with Freepoint Eco-Systems marks another important step in Dow's pursuit to source circular supply and transform end-of-life plastic waste into products that help our customers meet their recycled content goals," said Victor Zapata, North America commercial vice president of Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics. "The Dow team is energized to work with an innovative partner like Freepoint Eco-Systems that shares our commitment to building a much-needed infrastructure for circular plastics."
"Through this collaboration, Dow is redefining how we source raw materials for our products while tackling the challenge of plastic pollution," said Issam Lazraq, Dow global sustainable feedstocks director, Feedstocks and Commodities. "By converting locally available plastic waste, that was destined for landfills or incineration, into pyrolysis oil supply for our U.S. Gulf Coast operations, we are building a reliable circular feedstock supply portfolio."
As Freepoint Eco-Systems previously announced, once fully operational, the new facility will have a total nameplate capacity to recycle approximately 180,000 tons of plastic waste per year – equivalent to the weight of approximately 9,000 fully loaded semi-trailer trucks. Phase one, expected to start up in 2026, will initially process 90,000 tons of waste, yielding 65,000 metric tons of pyrolysis oil sold exclusively to Dow. The facility will be located in Eloy, Arizona, on 40 acres of undeveloped land.
"The development of this advanced recycling facility by Freepoint Eco-Systems and its affiliates, supported by the agreement with Dow, furthers Arizona's position as a leader in the circular economy evolution for the region, creating quality green jobs and fueling continued sustainable economic growth for Eloy," said Eloy Mayor Micah Powell.

Challenges – Paper Packaging Market
• Sustainability of Raw Materials is hampering the market:
While paper is often considered an eco-friendlier choice compared to certain plastic materials, there are still sustainability challenges associated with its raw materials. sustainable sourcing of virgin wood fiber is essential to prevent deforestation and habitat loss.
One of the primary challenges with paper packaging is the potential for deforestation and habitat destruction. If the demand for paper is not managed sustainably, it can lead to negative impacts on biodiversity, local communities, and the overall health of forests. The paper industry relies on trees as a raw material. Unsustainable logging practices can lead to resource depletion and a loss of biodiversity in forests.
• Limited Shelf Life:
In certain cases, paper packaging might have a shorter shelf life compared to materials with better barrier properties. This can impact the suitability of products with longer shelf lives. Paper packaging may not have the same inherent strength and durability as materials like plastics or metals. Heavy goods require packaging that can withstand the weight and potential impact during transportation and handling. The necessity for paper to package highly heavy goods presents the biggest obstacle for the paper packaging business, which has led to competition from the plastics and metal packaging sectors. In certain cases, consumers might perceive paper packaging for heavy goods as less reliable or protective than alternatives like plastic or metal.
