DREAMS OFTEN DIE IN THE PROJECTS

From their front stoops at Bentley Manor, longtime residents Miz Osceola and Miz Cleo have seen just about everything and know all too well that there's no happily-ever-after in the projects. There's only the desperate need to get out by any means possible.

Aisha has what every other ghetto girl envies: a loving man who supplies her with all the fashion, money, and accessories that scream hood success. Now that her husband's in jail, Aisha may have to put something more precious than her designer gear up for sale in order to maintain her image. The cost may be too high even for her expensive tastes.

Devani knows she's found her way out of the hood when she sleeps with Tyrik, a star pro athlete. When Tyrik's calls get further and further apart, Devani's mother suggests the perfect scheme: become his baby momma. Will Devani's plans force her man to commit, or backfire with the worst of consequences?

Molly is so in love with her husband, Junior, that she doesn't care if she's the only white girl in the hood. Blinded by her love, Molly lets everyone walk all over her. But Junior may cross the line, forcing Molly to give back all the abuse she's taken.

Lexi has five children--and four broke baby daddies. Now she is married to Luther, Mr. Right in every way but in the bedroom.

Will she stay faithful to her husband or give in to a passion that may very well prove deadly?

So cute
I have a 1.5 yr old cavapoo & cockapoo. They love the little squeaky toys that, esp my cockapoo. He likes to run around making them squeak. These ones are a little bit bigger than some of the others they have. I knew they would be. He still runs around with them, there’s just no squeaking. My husband loves peanut butter and jelly, I had to get them. They’re super cute! Made well.

I thought these are Cute My dogs didn't think so
These are cute and would work well for medium and larger dogs.  Not dogs under 25lbs.  The toys are to big for their little mouths and they can't get a hold of them to play with them.

So Far So Good
I adopted a young adult dog less than 2 weeks ago. She had spent over 12 hours a day in a crate and has excessive energy and anxiety built up. She is a strong chewer. So far, out of 6 toys, this is the only one still in one piece. It appears sturdy and extra bouncy. So much better than regular tennis balls.

My dogs favorite!
My dogs love these! They will play all day if you'd let them, these balls are their favorites. I use the chuck-it handle and they get tons of exercise in the big yard!
