OKKERVIL RIVER - BLACK SHEEP BOY (LP)BLACK VINYL LP. "Black Sheep Boy is Okkervil Rivers most ambitious and cinematic record yet, a love story and adult fable that evokes the mature songcraft of Leonard Cohens New Skin for the Old Ceremony, the sophistication of Scott Walkers Scott 4, the shambling slow motion bravado of Neil Youngs On the Beach, and the raw nerves and trick effects of Big Stars Third Sister Lovers. It also occasionally echoes Lou Reeds Transformer in that it is actually

BLACK VINYL LP.

"Black Sheep Boy is Okkervil River’s most ambitious and cinematic record yet, a love story and adult fable that evokes the mature songcraft of Leonard Cohen’s New Skin for the Old Ceremony, the sophistication of Scott Walker’s Scott 4, the shambling slow-motion bravado of Neil Young’s On the Beach, and the raw nerves and trick effects of Big Star’s Third/Sister Lovers. It also occasionally echoes Lou Reed’s Transformer in that it is actually the band’s most playful and confident record by far, delighting in linguistic games, scrapping all caution and reserve, reveling equally in sheer pop, lacerating rock and roll, and straight-up country weepers. The most fully-realized and wildly adventurous Okkervil River record yet also introduces into the modern folk bellwether’s traditional palette of mandolin, pump organ, steel guitar, Wurlitzer, strings and horns such previously foreign elements as children’s keyboards, digitally-manipulated field recordings, and dirty splatters of distorted guitar. The longing might be keener, but the fun is funner this time around, too; somebody has spiked the drinks, and there are at least two bullets in the Russian roulette chamber.Most of the songs for Black Sheep Boy were written by Sheff after he’d moved out of his house to spend all of 2003 on the road, touring for Down the River of Golden Dreams and road-tripping around the country during off weeks. After rehearsing many of the new songs on the road during tours with Califone, John Vanderslice, Azure Ray, CocoRosie, and Clem Snide, the band retreated to an un-air-conditioned Austin, Texas tin roof shed to solidify the arrangements before going into the home studio of Brian Beattie (an ex-member of Austin legends Glass Eye as well as a producer for Daniel Johnston) who also recorded the band’s Jagjaguwar debut Don’t Fall in Love with Everyone You See."

8 Paws up
Size: Large/Giant (1 Count)
I bought one of these several months ago for my 6 year old, 65 lb Am Staff mix. He’s a super chewer; for example, he once chewed the corner off a windowsill before I caught him. He loves this. Just adopted a 4 year old, 55 lb female Am Staff mix. Equally super at chewing. I had her with me in my home office and she randomly bit a chunk off the decorative trim on my old wood desk. Anyway, as soon as she saw this toy, she made a beeline for it. Thank goodness I had a spare! I’m now here to buy a third, because this is a good one for dogs who can REALLY chew.

LOVE BARK TOYS!!!
Color: Rad Herring - Medium
I got this toy for my 1yr old Husky/Heeler/(possibly)GSD (approx 42lbs) mix when she came to our home mid/late October of 2025 and the toy lasted until December 3rd 2025 when we had to assist her with opening the fabric to get the toy on the inside. It was a great fun toy for her and the inside toys still is and she loves playing with it. The durability of both the outside and inside toys are great for super chewers! I was glad there was no stuffing because I had gotten her a plush toy once before and she destroyed that immediately. The fabric on this was durable enough to withstand her chewing yet soft enough that it didn’t hurt her teeth. The colors were vibrant and fun for both toys even though wear and tear kinda took some of the fabric color away. I would definitely buy this again once the inside toy is no longer safe for her, especially since the size was perfect for her too.

Good ball for strong chewers
Color: Cheeze Brawl - Large, Color: Cheeze Brawl - Large
My dog loves this ball except the outside fur gets gross really quickly. However, it’s easy to cutoff and underneath is a strong squeaky ball. It’s like two gifts in one. He’s a very heavy chewer and the ball lasts quite a bit.

Take the skin off and get the right size for your dog’s weight!
Color: Panda Bear - Large, Color: Panda Bear - Large
This review is specifically for the panda toy. My dog is a super chewer and will literally go through any normal toy, even the ones labeled for aggressive chewers, within a few hours at most. He’s about to be 10 years old and this is the first time he’s ever had a toy that lasted as long as it has. I wanna mention the outer layer he almost immediately chewed through. To me, it wasn’t worth the fear of him dealing through pieces so I just took the whole “skin” off. However, he’s safely had this for 2 months with no issues and heavy daily chewing until he finally broke it apart. So if you have a super chewer, make sure to get the size appropriate for your dog’s weight and take the “skin” off and you’re left with a quality toy that will stick around! Pictured is a set of 2 new toys of the same variety since he finally chewed through his last batch lol
