This bestselling memoir from a seasoned New York City reporter is "a vivid report of a journey to the edge of self-destruction" (New York Times).As a child during the Depression and World War II, Pete Hamill learned early that drinking was an essential part of being a man, inseparable from the rituals of celebration, mourning, friendship, romance, and religion. Only later did he discover its ability to destroy any writer's most valuable tools: clarity, consciousness, memory.
In A Drinking Life, Hamill explains how alcohol slowly became a part of his life, and how he ultimately left it behind. Along the way, he summons the mood of an America that is gone forever, with the bittersweet fondness of a lifelong New Yorker. "Magnificent. A Drinking Life is about growing up and growing old, working and trying to work, within the culture of drink." --Boston Globe

An instant favorite for my one year old pup!
Size: Small, Size: Small
I came across these randomly while looking for presents for my one year old 10lb chi-mix. I gave her one to start with just to make sure it wasn’t flimsy & she wasn’t going to destroy it because she is definitely a chewer. She was instantly OBSESSED! These are now her most treasured squeakies. They’re the perfect size for her too and I’m happy to say they’ve held up well to her pouncing/jumping on them constantly. They’re definitely not quiet but we get an absolute kick out of watching the way she plays with them. If I could give 10 stars I would. Almost two months later and the novelty hasn’t worn off to her. I’ve saved them to my lists just in case we ever need to replace them for any reason. I’m not sure she’ll ever love a toy as much as these

Squeak is not super loud! Family fun!
Size: Small
My small dog loves these toys. He detects them the very moment they enter the house, even more if the package has been opened. I used to give him one at a time because he would favor the newest one for quite a long time. Now he sniffs them out no matter where I store them.
The squeakers have fallen INTO the toy rather than going down his throat, and they're rather difficult to chew out of place. They do collect quite a bit of debris and hair from the floor, so a good rinsing is needed sometimes. My little 13 lb terrier mix loves them with and without squeakers. For this dog, it's the best toy we've found.
We can do a little tug of war with it, throw and fetch, and he's even copied various ways we squeak the toy. I don't know what your pup will think, but these seem the most safe, longest-lasting, most engaging toy he has. If we step on it by accident, he always comes running for some fun.
Let us know if you have come up with a new game! We call one "Puppy Puzzle" where we bury it under various objects such as blankets, boxes, and find ways to squeak it when he can't quite find it. It's a daily ritual. We also like to be creative when we introduce new ones by hiding them, or mixing them in with older ones.
For us, it is a family interactive toy. He loses interest faster when playing alone. Plus, because of its size and random bouncing directions, it often gets out of pup's reach under furniture or in spaces too small for him to get it himself. We like playing with our dog, so it works for us. We've tried other toys with similar sizes and appearances, but for whatever reason, this is the one that has become part of daily life, and there appears to be no boredom yet after 2 years. Love!

Yes!
Size: Medium
Durable. Squeak doesn't last forever with my aggressive chewers but crinkle does. Best balls.
