Skinny and suffering from diabetes, Ralph Moody is ordered by a Boston doctor to seek a more healthful climate. Going west again is a delightful prospect. His childhood adventures on a Colorado ranch were described in Little Britches and Man of the Family, also Bison Books. Now nineteen years old, he strikes out into new territory hustling odd jobs, facing the problem of getting fresh milk and leafy green vegetables. He scrapes around to survive, risking his neck as a stunt rider for a movie company. With an improvident buddy named Lonnie, he camps out in an Arizona canyon and "shakes the nickel bush" by sculpting plaster of paris busts of lawyers and bankers. This is 1918, and the young men travel through the Southwest not on horses but in a Ford aptly named Shiftless. New readers and old will enjoy this entry in the continuing saga of Ralph Moody.Purchase the audio edition.

My dogs LOVE these toys!
Size: Small, Color: Assorted Color
These toys squeak loudly and my dogs all love them! My small dogs can eventually get the squeaker out but still carry them around and want us to throw them. They are something I keep on hand (with a supply of new ones available) to entertain them! They are not expensive and will always be their favorites.

My baby loves these. He gets one a week and has the best time playing fetch. One of the squickies quit working but for the price it’s a good deal. He’s a little spoiled!!

Still going strong
Size: Small, Color: Assorted Color
My dogs chew apart EVERYTHING, but all six of these are still in great shape. They prefer and fight over the purple one though for unknown reasons. 🤣

Loud
Size: Small, Color: Assorted Color
I have mixed feelings about this product. I bought this because my puppy kept breaking the squeaker in his squeaker toys. I wanted something where is the squeaker was more durable. This was definitely more durable, it was also 10 times louder than the squeaker in his squeaker toys. He would squeak it all day and night and I could barely hear anything over it. If you asked my puppy to give the review, I’m sure he’d give it five stars and a glowing review, but for me, it was too loud of a squeaker.
