Peacock Blue: The Collected PoemsWhen Phyllis Webb published Wilson's Bowl in 1980, Northrop Frye hailed it as "a landmark in Canadian literature" landmark, an event that marks a turning point in something (in this case, Canadian literature); and an instantly recognized feature of a landscape (in this case, the landscape of Canadian poetry). Wilson's Bowl was Webb's fifth volume of poetry. Three more followed and then she fell silent, turning from literature to abstract painting.
When Phyllis Webb published Wilson's Bowl in 1980, Northrop Frye hailed it as "a landmark in Canadian literature" landmark, an event that marks a turning point in something (in this case, Canadian literature); and an instantly recognized feature of a landscape (in this case, the landscape of Canadian poetry). Wilson's Bowl was Webb's fifth volume of poetry. Three more followed and then she fell silent, turning from literature to abstract painting. Peacock Blue compiles in a single volume all of Webb's published, unpublished, and uncollected works from a writing career that spanned fifty years. It offers readers the opportunity to relish the arc of Webb's entire poetic oeuvre, from the modernist lyricism of her early works, to the groundbreaking volume Naked Poems (1965), in which Webb created for herself a new minimalist language; from Wilson's Bowl to what Douglas Barbour calls "Webb's loving and subversive engagement with the ghazal" in Water and Light (1984); and finally to the postmodernist prose poems of Hanging Fire (1990). The concluding section of Peacock Blue contains almost fifty poems previously uncollected, some of which have never been published before. It is full of brilliant but forgotten poems and poetic surprises. Brenda Carr has suggested that one of Webb's later essays, "Message Machine" (1990), "initiates a re-reading of her poetics and practice ... Against her anxiety that she is a passive 'message machine' for masculinist culture ... Webb posits another possibility - 'cross-dressing.' She theorizes her mimicry of the male persona as analogous to a 'masquerade' or 'street theatre' and in so doing reconstructs even her earlier poems as a performative space in which agency is possible." The truth of Carr's insight becomes increasingly apparent to anyone who undertakes to read through Webb's entire poetic output, gathered together, at last, in Peacock Blue.Binding Type: Hardcover

She loves them, therefore I love them too
Size: 5.5 Inch, Color: Ring Toy
My furbaby LOVES these, especially the peanut butter flavored ones. I still regularly brush her teefers, but these do help with dental care.

Made mostly of POLYPROPYLENE PLASTIC and should not be injested.
Size: 8 Inch - 2 Pack, Color: Tree Branch
BAD PRODUCT. DO NOT BUY THESE FOR YOUR DOG. They are made mostly of POLYPROPYLENE PLASTIC. It even says on the package - "CAUTION: Product is not intended to be eaten or ingested. If you believe your pet has swallowed a piece, please take away and contact veterinarian if needed.
Our dachshund went to town on one of these and had diarrhea for two days and cost us several hundred dollars in vet bills to do x-rays and medicine for the poor dog. What do you think a dog is going to do with a dog chew? Just find another product. This one isn't worth it.

A bit wider than I expected
Style: Coyote
I thought this was going to be a "flat" toy but was a bit surprised to see that it was more of a 3D shape than flat. It's unfortunately a bit too wide for my small/medium sized terrier so he really only grabs and chews on the tail and ears. It is pretty durable though and has held up well.

Toughest dog toy we've ever owned! Jasper approved!
Style: Elk, Style: Elk
If you are the owner of a "power chewer" who usually turns standard plushies into a snowstorm of stuffing in under five minutes, the HOUND2O Elk Stuffed Animal is the heavy-duty solution you’ve been looking for. This isn't just a toy; it’s a rugged piece of outdoor-grade gear that manages to stay "plush" while being nearly indestructible.
Here is why this elk is the gold standard for aggressive chewers.
The "Ballistic" Build
The secret to its toughness lies in the materials. Unlike cheap fleece or thin polyester, the HOUND2O Elk is engineered for extreme durability.
Ballistic Nylon Shell: The body is wrapped in high-denier ballistic nylon—the same type of material used in tactical gear. It’s incredibly resistant to punctures and tears from sharp canine teeth.
Reinforced TPR Accents: The "antlers" and specific high-wear points are reinforced with Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR). This gives your dog a satisfying, grippy texture to gnaw on without compromising the toy’s structural integrity.
Extreme Stitching: The seams are double-stitched and recessed, making it nearly impossible for a dog to find a "weak spot" to start a rip.
Built for Adventure: This toy is marketed for "outdoor adventures," and it truly lives up to that branding:
Water-Resistant & Buoyant: Unlike most stuffed animals that become soggy, heavy sponges, this elk is water-resistant and it floats. It’s the perfect companion for a trip to the lake or a game of fetch in the pool.
Easy to Clean: Because the material is so dense, mud and slobber don't soak in deeply. A quick rinse with a hose or a wipe-down with soap and water makes it look brand new after a day in the dirt.
High Visibility: The vibrant colors and distinct shape make it easy to spot in tall grass or murky water, so you won't lose it during a long-range game of fetch.
Engaging (But Tough) Squeaker
For many aggressive chewers, the goal is to "silence" the squeaker as fast as possible.
Protected Internal Squeaker: The squeaker is buried deep within the ballistic layers, making it much harder for a dog to pinpoint and puncture. It provides that high-value auditory feedback that keeps dogs engaged without being an easy "kill point" for the toy.
Performance at a Glance
Durability - Ballistic nylon and TPR are a "power chewer" dream.
Versatility - Floats, easy to clean, and works indoors/outdoors.
Engagement - Mixed textures (nylon + rubber) keep dogs interested.
Value - Outlasts 10 standard plush toys combined.
The HOUND2O Elk is a 10/10 for any pet parent tired of throwing away shredded toys. It is incredibly tough, intelligently designed, and built to withstand the "ruffest" play. While no toy is truly 100% indestructible for every single dog, this is as close as a plush-style toy can possibly get.
If your dog loves the "thrill of the hunt," try hiding this elk in some tall grass or bushes outside. Its tough shell can handle the brush, and it’s a great way to provide mental stimulation alongside a heavy chewing session!
