Tales of Ordinary MadnessWith Bukowski, the votes are still coming in. There seems to be no middle ground people seem either to love him or hate him. Tales of his own life and doings are as wild and weird as the very stories he writes. In a sense, Bukowski was a legend in his time . . . a madman, a recluse, a lover . . . tender, vicious . . . never the same . . . these are exceptional stories that come pounding out of his violent and depraved life . . . horrible and holy, you

With Bukowski, the votes are still coming in. There seems to be no middle ground--people seem either to love him or hate him. Tales of his own life and doings are as wild and weird as the very stories he writes. In a sense, Bukowski was a legend in his time . . . a madman, a recluse, a lover . . . tender, vicious . . . never the same . . . these are exceptional stories that come pounding out of his violent and depraved life . . . horrible and holy, you cannot read them and ever come away the same again.

Bukowski . . . "a professional disturber of the peace . . . laureate of Los Angeles netherworld writes with] crazy romantic insistence that losers are less phony than winners, and with an angry compassion for the lost." --Jack Kroll, Newsweek

"Bukowski's poems are extraordinarily vivid and often bitterly funny observations of people living on the very edge of oblivion. His poetry, in all it's glorious simplicity, was accessible the way poetry seldom is - a testament to his genius." --Nick Burton, PIF Magazine

Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) published his first story when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. His first book of poetry was published in 1959; he went on to publish more than forty-five books of poetry and prose, including books published by City Lights Publishers such as Notes of a Dirty Old Man, More Notes of a Dirty Old Man, The Most Beautiful Woman in Town, Tales of Ordinary Madness, Portions from a Wine-Stained Notebook, The Bell Tolls for No One, and Absence of the Hero.

Excellent for heavy chewers
Excellent toy for heavy chewers like malinois! The rope makes it easy to throw farther. Good amount of bounce as well. Definitely need to supervise as it could be a choking hazard for larger breeds.

Rope breaks toy breaks, buy it anyway?
3 stars. 4 stars during the 5 months it worked. 2 Star now. The rope bites through easily & often. I could hobble the rope together the first 5 months (see how it's shorter) now toy is a dud. Durability 1 Star. Took my 6 month old puppy a few minutes to do this. You see, she chewed threw it a few times and I was able to re-tie it until I ran out of rope. She DID love to do the puzzle- carrying it around, banging it on the ground repeatedly, tugging the rope gently up and down, holding the rope while shaking the ball like a pendulum side to side, rolling it with her paws like a cat, holding the rope with her teeth and banging the ball into various objects around the room trying to dislodge Stella and Chewy Meal Mixers... She's very clever and not at all a brut. I would give this to her for ten or fifteen minutes before bed. She still likes it and it still sort of works? She can no longer pull up and down on on the rope or carry it or around or bang it against various objects. So, you basically have a ball now with treats that can super easily fall out. You can just give your dog a regular ball with no hole and throw a handful of treats on the ground. I DO recommend buying this though. My dog loves it.

Greatest toy for GSD!
My German Shepherd LOVES LOVES LOVES this thing. I’ve purchased about 5 of them, not because they don’t last (they do), but so we can have them everywhere (one in each car, the backyard, the front yard, the house…). The string makes them so easy to throw far and you don’t have to handle a sloppy foamy tennis ball. And it’s great for playing a little tug. All in all, a winner of a product!

Good Toy Reward for Training
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
A great non-food reward for dog training and play! It’s the perfect size for my German Shepherd and the tie makes it easy to carry and play tug. It’s also been very durable for her sharp teeth!
