A warmly witty account of the three years a man spent teaching life lessons to his high school dropout son by showing him the world's best (and occasionally worst) films. At the start of this brilliantly unconventional family memoir, David Gilmour is an unemployed movie critic trying to convince his fifteen-year-old son Jesse to do his homework. When he realizes Jesse is beginning to view learning as a loathsome chore, he offers his son an unconventional deal: Jesse could drop out of school, not work, not pay rent - but he must watch three movies a week of his father's choosing. Week by week, side by side, father and son watched everything from True Romance to Rosemary's Baby to Showgirls, and films by Akira Kurosawa, Martin Scorsese, Brian DePalma, Billy Wilder, among others. The movies got them talking about Jesse's life and his own romantic dramas, with mercurial girlfriends, heart-wrenching breakups, and the kind of obsessive yearning usually seen only in movies. Through their film club, father and son discussed girls, music, work, drugs, money, love, and friendship - and their own lives changed in surprising ways.Binding Type: Paperback

But It
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
My fur baby has his fair share of toys, but something about this one he won’t put down. Pieces fall off the ends once they chew on it for a while.

A hardy chew toy
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium, Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
My dog loves these! I have purchased several. The size is perfect for my 25-pound cockapoo. It’s durable and she chews them for months until they’re prickly and not as fun anymore. The price is reasonable enough and she loves them so well (they’re one of the two chew toys that she likes), so I feel like the cost is worth it.
One thing to note is that my dog does chew off tiny bits from the bone. She usually spits them out but has swallowed some bits here and there. There hasn’t been a situation with the swallowed pieces, but I always monitor her as she uses it and would suggest that for other pet owners also. Safety is always key, but we have never had any problems in the two years I’ve been buying them.

Golden approves
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
Golden approves. Good size. Durability is hard, she did end up chewing the heck out of it. Great for puppies.
