Chosen as one of fifteen remarkable books by women that are shaping the way we read and write in the 21st century by the book critics of The New York Times

Funny...odd, original, and nearly unclassifiable...unlike any novel I can think of.--David Haglund, The New York Times Book Review

A raw, startling, genre-defying novel of friendship, sex, and love in the new millennium--a compulsive read that's like spending a day with your new best friend (Bookforum)

By turns loved and reviled upon its U.S. publication, Sheila Heti's breakthrough novel (Chris Kraus, Los Angeles Review of Books) is an unabashedly honest and hilarious tour through the unknowable pieces of one woman's heart and mind. Part literary novel, part self-help manual, and part vivid exploration of the artistic and sexual impulse, How Should a Person Be? earned Heti comparisons to Henry Miller, Joan Didion, Mary McCarthy, and Flaubert, while shocking and exciting readers with its raw, urgent depiction of female friendship and of the shape of our lives now. Irreverent, brilliant, and completely original, Heti challenges, questions, frustrates, and entertains in equal measure. With urgency and candor she asks: What is the most noble way to love? What kind of person should you be?

Recommended for Seniors, Not for Chewers
Size: Medium Chew Stick, Style: Pork Sausage
My 12lb dog loves Playology toys because of the long-lasting scent that's stimulating for her (even though I can't detect the smell). I got this toy because I wanted to add a different texture to her toy bin since most of her toys are rope & plush. Unfortunately, after only 10 minutes of playing with this toy, she managed to tear the pieces of the rubber off and I had to take it away so she doesn't choke on the pieces that were breaking off. Now I see why this toy's recommended for senior dogs. Definitely not recommended for active dogs or heavy chewers.

Size: Medium Chew Stick, Style: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium Chew Stick, Style: Peanut Butter
My pup absolutely loves it and it's helping him with teething. It doesn't break off in a bunch of big pieces, just tiny pieces. He spits out the little pieces thankfully! Very well made and smells appetizing to dogs! It definitely helps clean his teeth & the rest of his mouth!

Peanut butter flavored only -
I have bought several of these bones in the past. All my previous purchases were the bacon flavored and we loved them. They gave my dog hours of chewing pleasure with no mess. My most recent purchase was the peanut butter flavored bone, it is a mess; with little to no effort it breaks in to small crumbly pieces and creates a huge mess. In less than 24 hours there is little left but the mess. I threw the remainder away!

My puppy loves this bone and it lasts a long time.
My puppy enjoys chewing this sturdy bone. I worry about him ingesting the wood, but he seems fine.
