Blip Korterly kicks off a game of graffiti tag on a local overpass by painting a simple phrase: Uh-oh. An anonymous interlocutor writes back: When? Blip slyly answers: Just a couple of days. But what happens in just a couple of days? Blip is arrested; his friend, Dr. Flake Fountain--a molecular biologist--is drafted into a shadow-government research project conducting experiments on humans. The virus being tested--cleverly called the Pied Piper--renders its victims incapable of symbolic capacity; that is, incapable of communication. Is this biological weaponry? What would happen if it were let loose on the world? Does a babbling populace pose a threat or provide an opportunity for social evolution?

This novel's absurd, larger-than-life characters speak in exuberant prose that is as satirical as it is playful, as full of implications as it is full of mirth. It's no wonder Just a Couple of Days has become an underground cult classic. This grassroots phenomenon will reach even more soon-to-be fans in its newly updated Harvest edition-- complete with an excerpt from the author's next book

My dog loves this
Size: Large
This was a great product for a chewer dog. My Pitt bull chewed this toy for a long time. My only complaint would be in the process of chewing some areas became pointy and cut his gums slightly. It didn’t seem to bother him but the blood on the white toy was disturbing to me.

Sturdy and favorite chew toy
Size: Large
Golden retriever puppy favorite chew toy. All the curves and edges make him so happy he closes his eyes when he chews it. Family dogs come over and always want to steal it from him. Extremely sturdy too. Only downside is I think it is paper waded up on the floor from a distance. Haha.

THE Most Important Toy
Size: Large
My dog refuses to play with toys. She’s a rescue, so I’m not sure what her past has involved, but she doesn’t pay attention to any toys. Except this one. This is her 4th one- I buy a new one when she chews it beyond recognition, and she still loves it. (For time reference- I’ve had her 9 years, so we go through one roughly every 4 years.) My brother’s late dog also would only play with these. Something about the dinosaur shape- it’s magical!

Not very sturdy.
Size: Large
This was a nice toy but not able to with stand an aggressive chewer. I have a GBGV with super strong jaws.

Best chew toy ever!
Size: Large
My doodles love this chew. My 4 year old doodle still has hers. Very durable. I’ve bought this for all my friends and neighbors with new puppies! I have a new 7 month old doodle- she has not torn up anything...I feel it’s because of this chew.
