" Kelly] Link's stories . . . play in a place few writers go, a netherworld between literature and fantasy, Alice Munro and J. K. Rowling, and Link finds truths there that most authors wouldn't dare touch."--Lev Grossman, Time "She is unique and should be declared a national treasure."--Neil Gaiman "Funny, scary, surprising and powerfully moving within the span of a single story or even a single sentence."--Karen Russell, The Miami Herald "This is what certain readers live for: fiction that makes the world instead of merely mimicking it."--Audrey Niffenegger " These] exquisite stories mix the aggravations and epiphanies of everyday life with the stuff that legends, dreams and nightmares are made of."--Laura Miller, Salon, Best Books of the Decade "A major talent . . . Like George Saunders, Link] can't dismiss the hidden things that tap on our windows at night."--The Boston Globe "The most darkly playful voice in American fiction."--Michael Chabon "I think she is the most impressive writer of her generation."--Peter Straub "Link's world is one to savor.

Squeaker Pinches Hand
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher with Squeaking Handle, Size: One-Size
I toss balls 50-75 feet into the air. Works our my dog. I can actually throw a ball over 150 feet, so the dog gets a good workout. The squeaker is unnecessary and it does pinch my hand on a long toss.

Just as good as an actual Chuck-It
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher with Squeaking Handle, Size: One-Size
This is much cheaper than a Chuck It. And it’s just as good. My dog loves it.

Game changer
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher, Size: One-Size
This has been such a game changer in playing fetch with my dogs. The ball fits inside great and it throws smoothly and goes quite a distance.

Learning curve - but super fun
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher with Squeaking Handle, Size: One-Size
Okay- don’t get me wrong I know how to use a chuck it. But the handle of this has a squeaker - which is fantastic to get my ADHD dog to focus! Buuttt beware- it will take off your fingernail if you aren’t holding it properly when throwing. I learned that the hard way. Twice.
