A warmly witty account of the three years a man spent teaching life lessons to his high school dropout son by showing him the world's best (and occasionally worst) films. At the start of this brilliantly unconventional family memoir, David Gilmour is an unemployed movie critic trying to convince his fifteen-year-old son Jesse to do his homework. When he realizes Jesse is beginning to view learning as a loathsome chore, he offers his son an unconventional deal: Jesse could drop out of school, not work, not pay rent - but he must watch three movies a week of his father's choosing. Week by week, side by side, father and son watched everything from True Romance to Rosemary's Baby to Showgirls, and films by Akira Kurosawa, Martin Scorsese, Brian DePalma, Billy Wilder, among others. The movies got them talking about Jesse's life and his own romantic dramas, with mercurial girlfriends, heart-wrenching breakups, and the kind of obsessive yearning usually seen only in movies. Through their film club, father and son discussed girls, music, work, drugs, money, love, and friendship - and their own lives changed in surprising ways.Binding Type: Paperback

Squeaky & Bell Design Keeps My Dog Busy
Love the dual sound design—squeaker inside plus a jingle bell! My pup is obsessed and plays with it for hours alone. The cute sneaker shape grabs their attention right away, helps kill boredom and reduces anxiety. Perfect for solo play and keeps them from messing up furniture. Great enrichment toys for daily use.

Stuff it with treats, peanut butter, or kibble, and it turns into a solid boredom‑buster. Even after plenty of chewing and tossing around, it holds up without tearing or cracking.

Extremely durable — perfect for strong chewers
Great for mental stimulation when stuffed with treats
Easy to clean compared to other stuffable toys
Bounces unpredictably, which keeps dogs engaged
Long‑lasting value since it doesn’t wear out quickly
⭐ Bottom Line
A classic for a reason. If you want a toy that keeps your dog entertained, withstands heavy chewing, and works as a treat puzzle, the KONG Classic is a dependable choice that actually delivers.

Great for freezing apple sauce, peanut butter, etc for a treat.
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Our dog has extreme separation anxiety. When ever he even thinks we are going to leave he barks and jumps in our face. He is a mini Aussie, so he can jump high. I have researched ways to help him not freak out so much when we leave. I read that giving him something like this with some yummy frozen in it like peanut butter, apple sauce, wet food, etc. so he relates us leaving to him getting a yummy treat. He still freaks out when we leave, but not as bad because he wants the kong but also wants to remind us he doesn’t approve of us leaving, lol. It’s Kong, so obviously very high quality. It’s pretty heavy. I wish there was an in between size, this is a little too big and the smaller size isn’t big enough. So his tongue can’t quite reach the end inside. He also plays with it when it’s not filled with treats. We have a few so one can be in the freezer while he has one. Thank goodness he is a dog that doesn’t destroy stuff when we are gone, just yells at us when we are leaving. After we are gone he just pouts. But this gives him something to do and keeps him busy. It takes him quite a while to finish what’s inside.
