STUDENT ARRESTED FOR "PASSING GAS" AT SCHOOL

These are all real headlines screaming about the terrible stuff that's out there . . . stuff that's supposed to be BAD FOR YOU. But, honestly--is it?

Bad for You asks this question and many more--and not just about the things that modern parents fear like violent video games, social media, and dirty hands. Stuff in this book goes back centuries--all the way to Plato (yeah, that one) and his worries over the new "technology" of his time: the written word Kevin C. Pyle and Scott Cunningham cleverly expose the long-standing CAMPAIGN AGAINST FUN for what it really is: a bunch of anxious adults grasping at straws, ignoring scientific data, and blindly yearning for the good old days that never were. Bad for You presents the facts, figures, and a whole lot more--in eye-grabbing graphics--to debunk these myths and give kids the power to prove there's nothing wrong with having fun . . . or with being young.

Perfect Squeaky Toy for My Exes Deranged Dog
Color: Multicolor, Color: Multicolor
My ex-beau and I are still friendly and we exchange Christmas presents. This year, I wanted to make sure that his utterly nutty and completely bonkers Aussie, Diego, got a new toy so that he has added enrichment in his enclosure. Diego really enjoyed this toy! A perfect size for him and a loud squeaker, which my ex will undoubtedly appreciate being squeaked non-stop while he is trying to game with his various assortment of video game people. Worth every penny. Diego’s smiling face is proof of his delight in his adorable Slothicorn. Squeak away, Diego! Squeak away!

Worth it!
Color: Llama
Wanted to keep this for myself! Made well, size is perfect for a 90 pound pup, durable enough for a non chewer (she cleans their fur but doesn’t chew anymore). Durable enough that has been left outside during Summer storms and washed/dryed a couple times already (I use a laundry bag) and still has its adorable shape. Great value for the money, though I might need to buy another one for myself! *^_^*

Our Doodle's Fav Toy
Color: Multicolor
The first slothicorn toy that we received had a broken squeaker. We were able to quickly and easily get a replacement and send the broken one back. This is one of my pup's favorite toys, although I don't think the horn will last long-- it's the part she likes to chew on the most! At 5lbs, the toy is the same size as my Goldendoodle puppy. I think the toy is overpriced when not on sale (I got on Black Friday promo), so I would encourage waiting for a price drop before purchasing or locating another option that's affordable.
