"Unlike any other gardening book I know, with its Old World charm, its down-to-earth practicality, its whimsy and sophistication."--Brooke Astor, The New York Times Book Review A classic in the literature of the garden, Green Thoughts is a beautifully written and highly original collection of seventy-two essays, alphabetically arranged, on topics ranging from "Annuals" and "Artichokes" to "Weeds" and "Wildflowers." An amateur gardener for over thirty years, Eleanor Per nyi draws upon her wide-ranging knowledge of gardening lore to create a delightful, witty blend of how-to advice, informed opinion, historical insight, and philosophical musing. There are entries in praise of earthworms and in protest of rock gardens, a treatise on the sexual politics of tending plants, and a paean to the salubrious effect of gardening (see "Longevity" ). Twenty years after its initial publication, Green Thoughts remains as much a joy to read as ever. This Modern Library edition is published with a new Introduction by Allen Lacy, former gardening columnist for The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times and the author of numerous gardening books. "You do not have to be a good gardener to fall in love with Green Thoughts. It reads with the intrepid assurance of a classic."--Mary McCarthy, The New York Review of Books"One of those dangerous reference works that you reach for at a moment of horticultural crisis or indecision only to find yourself an hour later browsing far beyond the page where you began."--The New Yorker

This baby "takes a licking and keeps on ticking"!
Pattern Name: Platypus
I have three Labs who LOVE playing tug of war with each other and their human family. I bought this stretchy plushie on a whim and it has become one of their favorites! Our pups pull HARD and this thing can TAKE IT without ripping or losing it's elasticity. It does have some holes and has lost an ear, but it is still functional - just a bit raggedy. ANY plushie that lasts more than a couple days with these ladies is a winner...and this one has been played with daily for several WEEKS at this point!
If you have strong pullers who also like the soft, squeaky feel of a plushie, this toy is a sure bet.

It survived longer than others
Pattern Name: Pull Monkey, Pattern Name: Pull Monkey
My Maltese mix has destroyed every single one of his squeaker toys within a week. This is the only stuffed toy I've found so far that lasted almost 2 months before he successfully gutted and 3 months before it officially needed to be replaced. I mean, just look at the image and see the rough play it's been through.
I do wish the squeaker was larger to help it survive just a bit longer but I am pretty happy with this toy and so is my dog. The rope arms and legs are great features as they slide through the body and really helps encourage tug play. The price is fair for the size and quality of the construction and is overall a pretty good purchase. I plan to buy a few more to keep as backup.

Great toy for dogs who like to pull
Pattern Name: Pull Monkey
My dog loves tug of war (non-stop) and I thought this would be perfect for him. He loves it. He plays with it constantly and it's held up to the non stop pulling.
