By: Ellyn Gaydos     
This captivating memoir is a “startling testimony to the glories and sorrows of raising and harvesting plants and animals” (Anthony Doerr, best-selling author of All the Light We Cannot See), as an itinerant farmhand chronicles the wonders hidden within the ever-blooming seasons of life, death, and rebirth.

Pig Years catapults American nature writing into the 21st century, and has been hailed by Lydia Davis and Aimee Nezhukumatathil as “engrossing” and “a marvel.” As a farmer in Upstate New York and Vermont, Ellyn Gaydos lives on the knife edge between loss and gain. Her debut memoir draws us into this precarious world, conjuring with stark simplicity the lifeblood of the farm: its livestock and stark full moons, the sharp cold days lives near to the land. Joy and tragedy are frequent bedfellows. Fields go barren and animals meet their end too soon, but then their bodies become food in a time-old human ritual. Seasonal hands are ground down by the hard work, but new relationships are formed, love blossoms and Gaydos yearns to become a mother. As winter’s dark descends, Pig Years draws us into a violent and gorgeous world where pigs are star-bright symbols of hope and beauty surfaces in the furrows, the sow, even in the slaughter.

In hardy, lyrical prose that recalls the agrarian writing of Annie Dillard and Wendell Berry, Gaydos asks us to bear witness to the work that sustains us all and to reconsider what we know of survival and what saves us. Pig Years is a rapturous reckoning of love, labor, and loss within a landscape given to flux.

Great quality and indestructible
Pattern Name: Octopus Purple
My pitbull pup loves this and so far it's been indestructible. She's a very heavy chewer so it's hard to find toys that last and this one is passing the test.

Not quite indestructible, but closer than other toys
Size: Large 10", Style: Rubber Dog Toy
We have a German Shepherd who chews through pretty much any toy you give him. He has very strong, destructive jaws. And, being very smart, he will find the weak point in a toy and go after it almost obsessively. He'll work tirelessly trying to chew it into submission. I don't know how many toys we've gone through. We even did the subscription where they send you indestructible toys every month. Usually, they wouldn't make it until the next shipment. Any of them. And they sent three or four in the box. Anyway, this is our second one of these. He does destroy it, but he's had this one for three months or better and it's just now really showing signs of deterioration. We'll be replacing it soon, but I'm very impressed compared to the countless other toys we've bought over the years.

Toy Not Safe For Chewers
Size: Medium 8", Style: Rubber Dog Toy, Size: Medium 8", Style: Rubber Dog Toy
We bought this tire toy for our puppy for Christmas. It was advertised as a natural rubber dog toy and implied to be durable. It lasted less than two hours. Our puppy was able to chew off small pieces of the rubber and swallowed some of the bits, which made her extremely sick. She ended up vomiting after ingesting pieces of this toy. I would not recommend this toy, it is not safe especially for dogs that like to chew.
