Western Words has 5,000 words of cowboy language as vibrant now as it was in the old American frontier. "Within the cowman's figures of speech lie the rich field of his subtle humor and strength-unique, original, full-flavored. With his usually limited education he squeezes the juice from language, molds it to suit his needs, and is a genius at making a verb out of anything. He 'don't have to fish 'round for no decorated language to make his meanin' clear, ' and has little patience with the man who 'spouts words that run eight to the pound.' Perhaps the strength and originality in his speech are due to the solitude, the nearness of the stars, the bigness of the country, and the far horizons-all of which give him a chance to think clearly and go into the depths of his own mind. Wide spaces 'don't breed chatterboxes.' On his long and lonely rides, he is not forced to listen to the scandal and idle gossip that dwarf a man's mind. Quite frequently he has no one to talk to but a horse..." --from the author's IntroductioBinding Type: Paperback

Dearly departed
Color: Green, Color: Green
This toy lasted two sessions. Two. Sessions. I don't really fault the toy. I fault the dipstick in the donut suit.
Our dog did love this toy.
He did look extremely cute carrying a caterpillar around.
We did worry about property damage when he would joyfully toss the toy.
I find the claim of "indestructible" to be exaggerated.
We had some very tense minutes when we couldn't find the caterpillar's head. We kept looking at dog ingress points and dog eggress points with more and more worry. He did NOT swallow the head, it had rolled under a piece of furniture. He is blissfully unaware of how lucky he is.
If he was half his size, this would have been a marvelous toy.

Chew toy that holds up to aggressive chewers
Color: Green
Bought this for my 85 lb aggressive chewer. She loves this toy and gnaws on it constantly. My only complaint is that she likes to bring it to bed with her and I have to listen to "chomp, chomp, chomp" while falling asleep!

It lasts!!!!
Color: Green
My dog LOVES this toy! He's a very aggressive chewer and so far this is the only toy that has lasted him. My guess is that he will eventually destroy it, but not for a very long time. He chews it so much that it gets "spikey" from all the chewing, but so far it's the only toy I gave found that lasts him. I've replaced it once because it gets yucky looking after all the chewing but that's my choice. I definitely recommend thus one for an aggressive chewer!

Very well made, heavy, wasn’t a hit with my big puppy.
Super cute, but painted features came off right away. It shouldn’t have, as it is rarely touched. Sadly my dog showed little to no interest in it. She carried it a few times. I think it may the very heavy weight for a toy of this size. Idk, but as cute as this is, it just wasn’t a hit. It looks very durable overall and is a nice toy. I love the design. I only wish my large breed puppy liked it.
