Author: Elspeth Sandys Publisher: Otago University Press
At the end of the first volume of Elspeth Sandys’ absorbing memoir, What Lies Beneath, an adult Elspeth has solved the riddle of her birth parents and begun to piece together the events of her early life and find her place in the world. Casting Off begins on the eve of Elspeth’s first marriage. She and her husband will soon depart New Zealand for England, joining a throng of Kiwis who chose to uproot themselves from their native land. New attachments will be formed: new loves – of people; of places – will take the place of the old. But the home country will continue to exercise a pull. Backgrounding the personal story in this deeply satisfying memoir is the story of the Thatcher years and the creeping virus of neo-liberalism, the sexual revolution of the sixties, the beguiling world of books – reading and writing – and theatre. Elspeth Sandys’ refreshing honesty and her skill as a writer of fiction and drama propel the reader through an absorbing life story that is equally a commentary on the meaning of memoir and the peculiarities of memory.

Bad odor
The TBC Interactive ball I received had a very strong smell, like gasoline. Airing it outdoors made no difference. Dogs are all about how things smell so this toy would be avoided.

Labrador Retriever Fun Toy
Color: Yellow
Excellent for older Labrador Retriever with a soft mouth. 2 levels of movements. Colorful. Recharge quickly too, cable included. 2 velcro type covers.
Fairly chew resistant, watch your dog, as with any toy! Good size, no worries about my Labrador swallowing it!

Great engaging toy for my border collie
Color: Blue
I have an 8 yr old border collie with an injured rear hock, so she can't chase the Frisbee any longer. This toy, when set on high, kicks her hunting instincts in, and she chases it, brings it back, and keeps it between her paws until it activates *or she bumps it). The plastic 'holey' covering let's her get a good grip on it, and it is a little larger than a baseball. Good quality plastic/soft rubber covering.
It charges quickly, and has unpredictable jumps and rolls unlike some others that just run on 1 track. She would play with it all day if I let her. She brings it to me to play with her, but it doesn't really need a human's intervention. A tooth will occasionally hit the small control and turn it off, but no concerns about it falling apart or her ripping it apart. Highly recomment

Not as durable as it could be, but fun
Color: Yellow
Our 55 lb lab has fun with this toy, but it's not lasting long. The ball itself is hard plastic and the yellow rubber wrap around it has already been chewed through n several places. It did come with a fabric cover, but that, too, is not durable. Would not recommend leaving with your dog unattended as they could eat the rubber off in no time. But to bring out occasionally while watching the dog, which is what we do, it does provide some fun for all!
