She Looked at Me
From Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Teachers
By Jill Printzenhoff

There are only two types of speakers in the world. 1. The nervous and 2. liars.
~Mark Twain

Mrs. Rhodes spoke as she walked to the front of the class. “Today, you need to select one of the topics from the board for an oral report.”

I groaned internally. An oral report! She might as well line me up in front of a firing squad, I thought.

I took a deep breath and scanned the list of names and inventions on the smaller chalkboard located on the wall to our right. One name in the center of the board captured my attention. Who’s that person? I wondered. I didn’t know, but that was going to be my choice.

June 1 is National Skincare Day. When we think about skincare, we often focus on our own routines — but our pets need healthy skin, too. This National Skincare Day is the perfect time to shine a light on the important role nutrition plays in keeping your dog or cat’s skin healthy and their coat looking its best.

Just like humans, a pet’s skin serves as a protective barrier against the outside world. When their skin is healthy, it helps prevent irritation, dryness, and sensitivity. A soft, shiny coat isn’t just about appearance — it’s often a visible sign that your pet is feeling good from the inside out.

One of the most effective ways to support skin and coat health is through a balanced, nutrient-rich diet. Our recipes are crafted with carefully selected ingredients designed to nourish your pet through every stage of their life.

High-quality proteins help support strong hair growth, while essential fatty acids — like omega-6 and omega-3 — play a key role in maintaining skin hydration and promoting a shiny coat. Added vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E and zinc, contribute to overall skin health and help protect against environmental stressors.
