The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood"Christopher Hogwood came home on my lap in a shoebox. He was a creature who would prove in many ways to be more human than I am." from The Good Good Pig A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with animals than with people.

"Christopher Hogwood came home on my lap in a shoebox. He was a creature who would prove in many ways to be more human than I am."-from The Good Good Pig A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with animals than with people. So she gladly opened her heart to a sick piglet who had been crowded away from nourishing meals by his stronger siblings. Yet Sy had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only survive but flourish-and she soon found herself engaged with her small-town community in ways she had never dreamed possible. Unexpectedly, Christopher provided this peripatetic traveler with something she had sought all her life: an anchor (eventually weighing 750 pounds) to family and home. The Good Good Pig celebrates Christopher Hogwood in all his glory, from his inauspicious infancy to hog heaven in rural New Hampshire, where his boundless zest for life and his large, loving heart made him absolute monarch over a (mostly) peaceable kingdom. At first, his domain included only Sy's cosseted hens and her beautiful border collie, Tess. Then the neighbors began fetching Christopher home from his unauthorized jaunts, the little girls next door started giving him warm, soapy baths, and the villagers brought him delicious leftovers. His intelligence and fame increased along with his girth. He was featured in USA Today and on several National Public Radio environmental programs. On election day, some voters even wrote in Christopher's name on their ballots. But as this enchanting book describes, Christopher Hogwood's influence extended far beyond celebrity; for he was, as a friend said, a great big Buddha master. Sy reveals what she and others learned from this generous soul who just so happened to be a pig-lessons about self-acceptance, the meaning of family, the value of community, and the pleasures of the sweet green Earth. The Good Good Pig provides proof that with love, almost anything is possible.

Perfect for keep-away
Size: Large Size 3, Color: Red-Blue
I purchased one of these for my pup and he has a ball throwing it up in the air and chasing it. Handy for something they can play with alone.

70lb dog loves this kind of ball!
This is my dog's favorite style of ball! I have purchased others before, first from a local farm supply store and then others from Amazon, and this ball is of comparable quality to the others! The multi-tag design is great for my dog who love to tug and also to throw toys for himself. It's still inflated for now, but I'm under no pretense that it will stay that way forever. Part of the enjoyment my dog gets from his toys is in their destruction, and while we haven't hit that phase yet I'm sure it will come.
This ball is great for medium to large-ish dogs who enjoy a ball that is kicked, thrown, or tugged!

So much fun
My dog is obsessed with this. It comes deflated and you have to pump it but it only takes like 30 seconds to pump. And it comes with the pump which is so convenient! It's nice because you can leave it a tad deflated so your dog can grab onto the ball part if you want. My dog has bitten it a ton and it hasn't popped or deflated yet so it seems sturdy. I like that there are multiple handles because not only does it make it easy to play tug o war but also then you can have multiple dogs playing with it at once. Has held up good over the past week and a great source of entertainment! My dog is about the size of an aussie for reference and it is perfect size for him and small enough for him to carry.

Can’t Take These Off – Ultimate Cozy House Boots!
Size: 12-13, Color: Fleece Black
Okay, I’ll be real — these Men’s Warm Up House Boots have officially replaced my old slippers. They’re insanely comfortable, super warm, and honestly, just make cold mornings way better. The thick Sherpa fleece lining is next-level soft; it feels like walking on a plush blanket ( and that's next ).
I’ve been wearing them around the house non-stop ( in fact I'm wearing them now while i'm writing this review ) , and they keep my feet toasty even with tile floors and drafty mornings (New Hampshire winters hit hard). The non-slip soles are great too — I can walk from the living room to the garage without worrying about slipping. They’re flexible like socks but have that extra grip like real slippers.
I also appreciate that they’re lightweight and breathable — my feet never overheat like they do in some bulky slippers. The design looks nice too; simple and cozy without being flashy.
For the price, these are such a solid find. They feel durable enough to last through multiple seasons. If you’re the kind of person who wants that perfect mix of warm, soft, and practical, these are it.
These are great for travel or outdoor lounging. These are a win for winter comfort!

Awesome slippers
Size: 14-15, Color: Fleece Black
Very warm and comfy, I have sasquatch feet (14 wide) and the 14-15 size fit great with plenty of room. It's very hard to find slippers in my size and these are awesome, especially for the price! Definitely recommend these, I've been wearing them pretty much daily around the house during this especially cold northeast winter and they're holding up perfectly.
