A New York Times Notable Book A man tells a story to a woman sitting beside him on a plane, little suspecting what it reveals about his capacity for cruelty and contempt. A callow runaway girl is stranded in a strange city with another woman's fractiously needy children. An uncomprehending father helplessly lashes out at the daughter he both loves and resents. In these raw, startling, and incandescently lovely stories, the author of Veronica yields twelve indelible portraits of people struggling with the disparity between what they want and what they know. Because They Wanted To is further evidence that Gaitskill is one of the fiercest, funniest, and most subversively compassionate writers at work today.Binding Type: Paperback

Unbelievable Value: Durable and Adorable! My Pup Loved Then Instantly!
Color: Multicolour20
My brand new pup LOVED THESE INSTANTLY! I He’s 10 months old and still in that “gotta chew on everything “ stage: those puppy baby teeth can really get itchy. I love that these toys nontoxic but they are definitely tough. When I opened the box I wasn’t overwhelmed with the small of chemicals. It’s a similar, clean feeling quality as something I would have purchased for my son back in the day. The variety of shapes and sizes is perfect. All the little nubs on the silicones are also in various sizes from larger to fine and really help him get those tough hard to reach slots. I would definitely give them an A+ on appeal and durability. My GSD played with one for 30’ minutes and it was still in tact. He can rip pretty much anything to shreds in under 5 minutes…I’d call this purchase a win-win. Can’t beat the value for the money. Material is quality. They’re cute and adorable. Can’t beat it!

Toys For Puppies
Color: Multicolour20
This package is suited for puppies and it is priced right. 20 toys for 20 dollars and my little guy loves them. No outlet pet store will sell you this amount for the price. Great buy.

Recommend
Color: Multicolour20
My puppy loves to pull the toys out of this box and he especially loves the rope he likes to chew on it and I just really like that there are different kinds of toys for him so he doesn't get bored. The rope only lasted a couple of months. He chewed the heck out of it.

Could be dangerous for smaller dogs
Color: Multicolour20
Most of the toys seem to be great,
I have a yorkshire terrier and I noticed that on some of the toys that have small nubs and prices that he can focus on he is chewing off and eating which is not good for his little body so just be careful and pay attention to how they are using the toys so you don't end up at the vet with a problem you didn't expect
