About the Author

April Showers lives in Central Florida with her emotional support dog, Dottie. She is recently divorced after 29 years of marriage. Her husband could not take the extreme highs and lows of her bipolar disorder. In extreme highs of mania, Showers would be uncontrollable, and in her dark times of depression, she would not get out of bed for days and neglect herself and her household.

Showers was diagnosed at the age of 45 with Bipolar I disorder and put on medication. The youngest of seven children, she believes mental illness runs in her family, as two other siblings suffer from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Showers suspects that her father was an undiagnosed bipolar who self-medicated with alcohol.

Showers has a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a master’s degree in Public Administration. She was a school teacher for over 15 years before being fired from her teaching job due to a manic episode. She currently works as a peer counselor for the local behavioral health center. She absolutely loves her job and finds it extremely rewarding.

Showers has a good support system of family and close friends who tell her when they see signs of the illness creeping in. Her Catholic faith got her through the dark times of depression when she was suicidal and kept her safe during the extreme highs of mania.

It is her hope that by sharing her story, she can convey to others that there is hope for people living with Bipolar I disorder, and April is proof of the resiliency of the human psyche.

Yes yes yes! Low calorie w/ no garbage ingredients
Size: 1 lbs
I am super picky when it comes to dog treats. Do my research and this treat has proven to be a great find for my pup. The minimal ingredient list is fantastic and there is no crap that shouldn’t be there. They are smaller pieces but look fresh and my dog cannot get enough! They are low calorie and great alternatives to other treats sold with fillers and chemicals that harm our fur babies! Highly recommend these. My dog eats them with vigor! Healthy snacks!

Great one ingredient treats
Size: 1 lbs
I love that these are one ingredient treats. The quality is great, my dogs love the taste, and their appearance looks great without a bunch of additives. The texture is nice and the ridges in the cuts do help with cleaning my dogs teeth a bit. They are fairly expensive for what they are. These are great if you don’t have the time to make your own.

Only one ingredient
Size: 1-Pack (0.5 lbs)
I really like that. The product had only one ingredient which was sweet potatoes. They were well packaged in a reclosable bag. However, my dogs (a Morkie and a Malti-tzu) had no interest in them and would not even try it. I passed it on to someone else to try for their Shiba Inu.
