"David Sedaris's ability to transform the mortification of everyday life into wildly entertaining art," (The Christian Science Monitor) is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this remarkable new book.Trying to make coffee when the water is shut off, David considers using the water in a vase of flowers and his chain of associations takes him from the French countryside to a hilariously uncomfortable memory of buying drugs in a mobile home in rural North Carolina. In essay after essay, Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life-having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger on a plane or armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds-to the most deeply resonant human truths. Culminating in a brilliant account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris's sixth essay collection is a new masterpiece of comic writing from "a writer worth treasuring" (Seattle Times). Praise for When You Are Engulfed in Flames "Older, wiser, smarter and meaner, Sedaris...defies the odds once again by delivering an intelligent take on the banalities of an absurd life." --Kirkus Reviews This latest collection proves that not only does Sedaris still have it, but he's also getting better....Sedaris's best stuff will still--after all this time--move, surprise, and entertain." --Booklist Table of Contents:

Great for bored dogs
Color: Flip Board, Size: Level 2
Great dog puzzle! My pup loves this, he did chew the peg portion once he got them out so they can be put back in. They are tough for small dogs to get out so I think he plotted it out.

Mental stimulation for dogs and fun to watch!
Color: Turn Around, Size: Level 2, Color: Turn Around, Size: Level 2
Perfect mental stimulation for dogs like that like a challenge! My very smart dog figured it out in a few seconds so I use treats that are only a little smaller than the holes to make it more challenging. She doesn’t play with toys like my other dogs so I do make an effort to offer her other outlets to get energy out. I have another dog that finds it challenging, but enjoys it, so I use smaller treats for her to make it easier. I have another dog that has a low tolerance for challenges and walks away from it or tries to chew through it- so I think the level 2 rating is fair as every dog is different! My dogs are 12 lb for reference.

Great tool!
Color: Flip Board, Size: Level 2
Love this interactive toy! I purchased this for our 4 month old husky, looking for something to keep her entertained, and I was not let down! In the beginning, it took her a few good minutes to figure it out, and about a week later, she gets it done in about 2 minutes. If you've never had a husky, let me tell you, these dogs are very inquisitive! But due to her being involved with this, our older pit is now getting in on the fun! This is huge because our pit isn't amused by much! Overall, it's durable enough to withstand puppy chewing, and being carried around. It's also super easy to wipe clean as it's some sort of durable, perhaps reinforced layers of plastic. Even though the puppy figured it out, it still seems to excite her, and considering it keeps both dogs entertained and active mentally, I would absolutely recommend this to any dog owner!

Trixie Flip Board Dog Enrichment Toy – Great Starter Puzzle, Best for Beginner Dogs
Color: Flip Board, Size: Level 2
I’ve been using this with a high-energy, working-breed dog, and it’s a solid beginner-level enrichment toy—especially for dogs new to puzzle feeders.
What works well:
• The design is simple and intuitive. My dog learned the flipping lids and sliding compartments quickly without frustration.
• It’s great for short mental stimulation sessions or slowing down treat time.
• The non-slip base helps keep it in place on hard floors.
Things to consider:
• This is a Level 1 puzzle, so once your dog understands it, they can solve it quickly.
• The compartments are on the smaller side, so it works better with small treats than full meals.
• Best used with supervision if your dog tends to paw or chew at toys.
Best use case:
Ideal for puppies, beginner dogs, or as part of a rotation of enrichment toys. More advanced dogs will likely need something more challenging to stay engaged.
Bottom line:
A well-designed starter puzzle that’s easy for dogs to learn and use. Not the most challenging option long-term, but a good addition to an enrichment routine.

My rabbit loves playing with this, and of course getting treats!
Color: Turn Around, Size: Level 2
My bunny absolutely loves the TRIXIE Activity Around Puzzle Feeder! It keeps her engaged and mentally stimulated for long periods, making it a great source of fun not just for rabbits, but for cats and small dogs too. The design is intuitive and easy to clean, which I really appreciate—it takes just a quick rinse or wipe-down after each use. Despite regular use, the toy has proven to be very durable and holds up well to enthusiastic play. One of the standout features is that it’s surprisingly resistant to chewing; even with my bunny’s constant nibbling, there’s barely any visible wear. The compartments are just the right size for small treats, encouraging pets to think and interact with it. I love that it adds enrichment to my pet’s routine without creating extra work for me. Overall, it’s a well-made, multi-species puzzle toy that brings a lot of joy to curious pets. It is very quiet during use and doesn't make a noise.
