The history of fiction has been dominated by the novel and the short story. But now there is this seemingly brave new genre around: very brief fiction. It has been called Sudden, Micro, Skinny, Hyper, Mini, Short-Short, Minute, Instant, Nano, Pill-size, Pocket-size, Postcard, and Furious. This is fiction approaching haiku, the art of few words and many suggestions.

FLASH will identify the qualities that make for excellent very short stories, will demystify the writing process, and will guide the writer by exercise and example into and through the world of the very short story. John Dufresne's characteristic warmth, wit, and humor remind the writer of the joy in the creative process, making this a perfect guide for both the novice exploring the art of fiction and the seasoned writer interested in trying a new form.

Great for heavy chewers
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
Our dog is a hard core chewer! This toy is very durable. Even the covering has lasted. We assumed we would need to take the cover off right away but it’s still going after 3 months. It’s definitely chew resistant

Great treat dispenser
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
Great rubber toy, the outside fabric did not last long, so glad that it is a treat holder/dispenser otherwise it would have been done for in about 10min. The opening for the treats is pretty small so can only fight thinner broken up treats. Great for larger dog that likes to dissect her toys, keeping her entertained longer and no fluff all over the house

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L, Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
My dog LOVES this toy. It is so cute. It was a little smaller than I thought it would be, but it’s actually the perfect size for him. He carries it everywhere with him, and if he happens to have forgotten it, we say “go get your pig” and you can see it click in his head that he forgot it, and he runs to get it. He loves to drop it to make it bounce. He is 9, he used to instantly rip anything to shreds, but he seems to have gotten a little more delicate in his older age and after a few weeks hasn’t gotten through to the harder toy yet. Once this toy bites the dust, we will have to buy him another because of how much he loves his pig.

Not a Good Choice for Chewers
Color: Get Ripped Margrrrita, Size: L
I loved the idea of this toy, but it did not work or last as intended. It is pretty heavy and made of thick rubber. The flaps over the cup where the treats are dispensed did not last 5 minutes with my pup, so we can no longer use it to dispense treats/use as a brain game.

Super fun, my dog loves it!
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
I adopted a Feist/Pit mix and this was the first toy I got him for just him. He went nuts for it! He’s a destructive pup so ripping the soft “skin” off of hambone really helped him release some pent up energy! Now he carries it around in the yard and just chews on it. If you have tiny treats, drop em in the nose holes and watch your pup go crazy trying to get them out!
