The beloved author of Forever Fifty and Suddenly Sixty tackles the ins and outs of becoming a septuagenarian with wry good humor. Fans of Viorst's funny, touching, and wise decades poems will love these verses filled with witty advice and reflections on marriage, milestones, and middle-aged children.

Viorst explores, among the many other issues of this stage of life, the state of our sex lives and teeth, how we can stay married though thermostatically incompatible, and the joys of grandparenthood and shopping. Readers will nod with rueful recognition when she asks, "Am I required to think of myself as a basically shallow woman because I feel better when my hair looks good?," when she presses a few helpful suggestions on her kids because "they may be middle aged, but they're still my children," and when she graciously--but not too graciously--selects her husband's next mate in a poem deliciously subtitled "If I Should Die Before I Wake, Here's the Wife You Next Should Take." Though Viorst acknowledges she is definitely not a good sport about the fact that she is mortal, her poems are full of the pleasures of life right now, helping us come to terms with the passage of time, encouraging us to keep trying to fix the world, and inviting us to consider "drinking wine, making love, laughing hard, caring hard, and learning a new trick or two as part of our job description at seventy."

I'm Too Young to Be Seventy is a joy to read and makes a heartwarming gift for anyone who has reached or is soon to reach that--it's not so bad after all--seventh decade.

Rubberized fun for your little ones
Pattern Name: Animals
If your pet baby loves squeaky toys, then these are right for them. Value for the money. Soft rubber, durable squeaker, and they bounce like a ball. I should say a ball that ricochets off of anything it bounces off of. Loads of fun for the little dogos.

Essential Dog Toy in "Our World"
Pattern Name: Funny Faces
I have bought ~a dozen of these packs over the last 7 years. Began when our cocker was a puppy and (with puppy teeth) prone to destroying each squeaky toy he loved. Searched on something like "non-destructible (or maybe durable) small dog squeaky toys)" and these popped up. Now, they're Bark Park playtime essentials. SO many pups there love them (and we let the "stealers" keep them and tell their parents how to get them. Every day we have Bark Park squeaky egg symphonies (one mini Aussie plays 3 simultaneously--2 by mouth; another with his foot) and chases, as ALL the doggos love them. They last a long time and can be washed (I use a toothbrush and block the hole w. a finger).

perfect size
Pattern Name: Animals
these are the perfect " Goldilocks " size for our 3 month old frenchie! Not so big he cant bite them and squeak them and not to small where i worry they could slip & choke him. just a heads up the squeak is pretty loud lol they also are very soft both in texture and in terms of being able to squeeze. thy can bounce a bit which he loves too. the green one for some reason is thicker and harder for him to bite & squeak so he doesnt really play with that one. so far they are holding up to his puppy teeth but i suspect if you have a aggressive chewer they wouldnt do so good. very happy with the purchase. and as you can see in my video so is our little man lol

Indestructible for our 8 pound Mi-Ki
Pattern Name: Funny Faces
Our small dog loves these and he hasn't been able to chew them up. He loves their unpredictable bounce and chases them all day. He also likes to sleep surrounded by them.
