Fire and Stone: Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?The questions that drive Priscilla Long's Fire and Stone are the questions asked by the painter Paul Gauguin in the title of his 1897 painting: Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? These questions look beyond everyday trivialities to ponder the essence of our origins. Using her own story as a touchstone, Long explores our human roots and how they shape who we are today. Her personal history encompasses childhood as an identical twin
The questions that drive Priscilla Long's Fire and Stone are the questions asked by the painter Paul Gauguin in the title of his 1897 painting: Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? These questions look beyond everyday trivialities to ponder the essence of our origins.
Using her own story as a touchstone, Long explores our human roots and how they shape who we are today. Her personal history encompasses childhood as an identical twin on a dairy farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland; the turmoil, social change, and music of the 1960s; the suicide of a sister; and a life in art in the Pacific Northwest. Here, memoir extends the threads of the writer's individual and very personal life to science, to history, and to ancestors, both literary and genetic, back to the Neanderthals. Long uses profoundly poetic personal essays to draw larger connections and to ask compelling questions about identity. Framed by four distinctive sections, Fire and Stone transcends genre and evolves into a sweeping elegy on what it means to be human.Binding Type: Paperback

Tough chewers favorite toy
Pattern Name: Classic Squeaky Tug, Pattern Name: Classic Squeaky Tug
This has become my dogβs favorite toy! It looks just like a corn on the cob! The toy itself is very durable. The rope that was attached got torn off within hours though. After much use, it still looks brand new minus the rope!

The Toy That Tires Out Your Dog So You Donβt Have To!
Color: Classic Blue, Color: Classic Blue
After trying a different interactive ball previously, I can confidently say this one is built much better. The construction feels more durable, and most importantly, it has held up well against my dog's enthusiastic chewing and chasing. Many interactive toys claim to be tough, but this one has actually survived extended play sessions without being torn apart.
The charging design is simple and well thought out. The ball twists apart easily to reveal the USB-C charging port, making recharging quick and convenient. Once charged, you simply twist the halves back together, press the power button, and it's ready to go. I appreciate that there are no complicated steps or special charging accessories required.
What really stands out is how engaging the toy is. The unpredictable movement keeps my dog interested and encourages plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Instead of losing interest after a few minutes, my dog continued chasing, pawing, and interacting with the ball until he was genuinely worn out. For pet owners looking for a way to help burn off excess energy, this toy definitely does the job.
One minor issue I noticed is that on a couple of occasions, my dog was able to accidentally turn the toy off while carrying it in his mouth. It wasn't a frequent problem, but it did happen enough to be worth mentioning. Fortunately, turning it back on is quick and easy.
Overall, this has been one of the better interactive dog toys I've tested. It's durable, easy to charge, keeps dogs engaged, and provides the kind of activity that leaves them happily exhausted afterward. If your dog enjoys chasing moving toys and you want something sturdier than many of the alternatives on the market, this is a solid choice.

Great Entertainment, Short Battery Life
Color: Classic Blue
This is the first interactive ball I've found that my dog hasn't managed to destroy, which is impressive on its own. The ball keeps him entertained for long periods, and he loves chasing, nudging, and following it around the house. The material feels durable and has held up well to regular play. The one button operation is convenient, and the ball is easy to recharge and clean.
My biggest complaint is the battery life. On a full charge, it only seems to run for about 10 minutes before needing to be recharged again. Because of that, I find myself charging it frequently. Even with the shorter runtime, it's been one of the more engaging and durable interactive toys we've tried. Overall, a fun and sturdy toy that keeps dogs occupied, but be prepared for frequent charging.
