Bull Trout's Gift: A Salish Story about the Value of Reciprocity"We were wealthy from the water," Mitch Smallsalmon says, and like all the tribal elders, he speaks to our understanding of the natural world and the consequences of change.

"We were wealthy from the water," Mitch Smallsalmon says, and like all the tribal elders, he speaks to our understanding of the natural world and the consequences of change. In this book the wisdom of the elders is passed on to the young as the story of the Jocko River, the home of the bull trout, unfolds for a group of schoolchildren on a field trip.
The Jocko River flows through the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana. For thousands of years the Salish and Pend d'Oreille Indians lived along its banks, finding food and medicine in its plants and fish, and in the game hunted on its floodplain. Readers of this story will learn, along with the students of Ms. Howlett's class, about the history and culture of the river and its meaning in Native life, tradition, and religion. They will also discover the scientific background and social importance behind the Tribes' efforts to restore the bull trout to its home waters. Beautifully illustrated and narrated in the tradition of the Salish and Kootenai Tribes, this account of conservation as the legacy of one generation to the next is about being good to the land that has been good to us. Bull Trout's Gift is steeped in the culture, history, and science that our children must know if they hope to transform past wisdom into future good.

Brushes
These brushes are nice for getting into the small and difficult to reach parts of animals mouths. However part of what makes them difficult to reach is the fact that my pets put up such a fight for teeth brushing anyways. But these do make it slightly easier. The brushes are soft, the bristles are dense, and the fact that there’s different shapes of brushes is helpful as well.

Good Small Toothbrush!
TINY toothbrush, but a good size for cats! The bristles are just a bit too soft to get a good scrub in my opinion, but they seem to be good quality and fit comfortably in the hand while brushing.

The cutest little toothbrushes for the kitkats!
Never before recently had I contemplated brushing my cats' teeth. But at their most recent visit with the veterinarian, my boy kitty and one of his sisters had tartar on their teeth and I was admonished for not cleaning their teeth regularly at home. Yikes! The veterinarian gave me her recommendations. I ordered these toothbrushes to go with a toothpaste I was able to order through our compounding pharmacy. And I thought it was going to be a nightmare trying to brush their teeth. But our boy kitty actually likes it - sort of! I think he really likes the extra attention and it probably feels kind of good to get the gunk off his teeth. His sister is another story. She doesn't hate it, but I do need to give her treats before and after. These little toothbrushes are just perfect. I love the little cases included. They work perfectly and are just the right size. That makes them easy to use. And it doesn't hurt that they are absolutely adorable little toothbrushes!

Soft and Effective Pet Toothbrushes
These small animal toothbrushes are an excellent choice for pet owners looking to improve their pet's dental care routine. The brushes are perfect for getting into hard-to-reach areas of your pet's mouth, particularly the back teeth. Despite pets often resisting teeth brushing, the compact size and variety of brush shapes make the task a bit easier. The bristles are exceptionally soft yet dense, providing a gentle but effective clean. The different brush designs are especially handy, allowing for flexibility depending on your pet's needs. They seem durable and well-made, with no issues of bristles falling out, even when a little pressure is applied to remove plaque. The packaging is simple, with some brushes arriving in individual containers and others in a zip bag, which is practical though unsealed. While the price is on the higher side for what you get, it's still reasonable considering the quality and effectiveness. Overall, these toothbrushes are a solid investment in your pet's oral hygiene.
