Emily: The Diary of a Hard-Worked WomanOh how I do wish I could have a little help in maintaining my home. I shall dread the cold winter so much. I don't have very good success getting employment, wrote Emily French in her diary in 1890. Emily was recently divorced but received no alimony or child support. She worked as a laundress, cleaning woman, and nurse, first in the farming community of Elbert, Colorado, then in the growing city of Denver, the mining town of Dake, and back into

Oh how I do wish I could have a little help in maintaining my home. I shall dread the cold winter so much. I don't have very good success getting employment, wrote Emily French in her diary in 1890. Emily was recently divorced but received no alimony or child support. She worked as a laundress, cleaning woman, and nurse, first in the farming community of Elbert, Colorado, then in the growing city of Denver, the mining town of Dake, and back into Denver.

Emily's diary discloses an example of the desperate lives lived by many. Having enough money and food is a source of constant anxiety, but her deepest fears center on the loss of family and of home. She becomes discouraged but never gives up, recognizes others less fortunate than herself, and always believes things will change. This is a moving work that provides an unusual look into the life of the working poor in the late-nineteenth-century West.

Been an hour! Update days later

And he is still going at the brown monkey. I am shocked. Usually he's ripped his toy to shreds right now. LOL. Amazing! I'll update this review with the photo and the actual time to destruction. Update: Few days later, he killed it. Not sure where the stuffing came from inside the monkey, but we put it back together and loves to sleep with it. He's working on it again. I am just so amazed. I thought he was gonna finish it tonight, but he got tired since his job wasn't accomplished. LOL

Will NOT last more than a few days!
Style: Bundle, Style: Bundle
Fun for about 2 days then the tearing off of the legs, led to tearing it up to get the stuffing out. The ears and tail do not tear off and that was the first thing to go, then the destruction continued until it was nothing but a pile of fluff and sadness. Not durable at all, but they were happy to destroy it!

Good toy but snags carpet + difficult for small dog
Style: Bundle
My biggest complaint is the Velcro placement. When the arms and legs are detached, the rough (hook) side of the Velcro is on those pieces, so they stick to and snag the carpet. The soft (loop) side is attached to the body of the toy. I really wish this were reversed to prevent snagging. Also, my small 10 lb dog isn’t quite strong enough to detach the arms and legs when they’re fully secured. We have to fasten them loosely to make it manageable for her.

Lasted as long as we could hope for with our dogs. It will probably last longer with ‘normal’ dogs.

S: I LOVE these toys! They are awesome! V: Yeah. Me too. I really enjoy stealing them from you. S: You can barely catch me. You only take them from me when I LET you take them. V: Keep talking like that. I will sit on you. S: That’s a pretty valid threat. You’re sort of fat. V: Finish telling everyone about the toys. S: Oh yeah. So the arms and legs came off like they’re supposed to. Then the stuffing came out. Then the squeaker came out. All I have left is the carcass - but I’m happy with that. I like taking it around the house with me. V: I like sneaking it away and leaving it outside when you aren’t looking. S: Wait. What? V: Yeah, you’re the “smart girl” because you bring the ball back. I’m the one that can be sneaky, though, because no one expects it of me. Don’t be jealous. S: Ball?! Where’s the ball?!
