The surprising, rich life of tree swallows in nesting season--with Heinrich's beautiful illustrations and photographs--by the acclaimed naturalist. Heinrich is sparked one early spring day by a question: Why does a pair of swallows in a nest-box close to his Maine cabin show an unvarying preference for white feathers--not easily available nearby--as nest lining? He notices, too, the extreme aggressiveness of "his" swallows toward some other swallows of their own kind. And he wonders, given swallows' reputation for feistiness, at the extraordinary tameness and close contact he experiences with his nesting birds. From the author of the beloved books Ravens in Winter and A Naturalist at Large, this richly engaging view of the lives of wild birds, as always with Heinrich, yields "marvelous, mind-altering" insight and discoveries. --Los Angeles TimesBinding Type: Hardcover

Love all the Barkbox toys
Color: Christmas Consuela, Size: Large Dog
This is our third "Consuela"! Our dogs LOVE these toys, and they are the most durable we can find for our heavy chewers. They really like the ball inside as well. Highly, highly recommend these toys. I won't be buying other toys anymore, just barkbox.

My dog is a toy destroyer
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog, Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
I’ve had a hard time trying to find toys that my dog, Zara loves because she’s actually very picky. Ive gotten plenty of Kong toys that are well known to be indestructible but she wants nothing to do with them. Then I got her ropes and that seemed to be good for a while until she was getting sick in the middle of the night from eating all of the string. Stuffed toys aren’t good because she’ll rip them within seconds and eat all of the stuffing. I felt like I’ll never score the perfect toy for her.
I found the three layered cactus toy and decided to give it a go. It’s clearly designed to be ripped and destroyed to get the ball in the middle which is actually really cute and fun to see all of the layers.
The cactus arms have stuffing and of course that’s the first thing she went for and ate. I had to watch her and make sure I took the stuffing away before she ate it. And before I knew it, she ate half of the first layer fabric lol once she got through the first layer, all she’s been doing is walking around the house with the toy in her mouth. But now she’s tired and passed out on the couch from all of the fun.
This toy won’t last long with a toy destroyer but it sure does give them something to do and it’s a cute toy. I do recommend!!

Squeaky & Bell Design Keeps My Dog Busy
Love the dual sound design—squeaker inside plus a jingle bell! My pup is obsessed and plays with it for hours alone. The cute sneaker shape grabs their attention right away, helps kill boredom and reduces anxiety. Perfect for solo play and keeps them from messing up furniture. Great enrichment toys for daily use.

KONG Classic Stuffable Dog Toy
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
The KONG Classic is one of those toys that actually earns its reputation. It’s tough, reliable, and keeps a dog busy in a way that feels genuinely useful. Stuff it with treats, peanut butter, or kibble, and it turns into a solid boredom‑buster. Even after plenty of chewing and tossing around, it holds up without tearing or cracking.
⭐ What Makes It Great
Extremely durable — perfect for strong chewers
Great for mental stimulation when stuffed with treats
Easy to clean compared to other stuffable toys
Bounces unpredictably, which keeps dogs engaged
Long‑lasting value since it doesn’t wear out quickly
⭐ Bottom Line
A classic for a reason. If you want a toy that keeps your dog entertained, withstands heavy chewing, and works as a treat puzzle, the KONG Classic is a dependable choice that actually delivers.
