Kentucky, 1977: Eine Balletttruppe aus Paris - in Marie Higginbottoms Stadt! Wen interessiert da schon, dass die Kompanie nicht aus Frankreich angereist ist, sondern aus Paris, Kentucky ... Marie ist ganz aus dem Häuschen. Trotz ihres zarten Alters von zehn Jahren weiß sie genau, dass sie zur Ballerina bestimmt ist. Das Tanzen ist ihre Chance zu entkommen: dem schimmligen Fernsehzimmer, wo sie und ihre Geschwister sich selbst überlassen sind, ihrem Dad, der gern seine Wut an den Kindern auslässt, dem hinterwäldlerischen Roanville, in dem es außer dem örtlichen Kmart wenig zu entdecken gibt. Obwohl sie mit ihren Tanzkünsten mehr Spott erntet als Bewunderung und ein Unterrock aus der Kleiderkammer als Tutu herhalten muss, glaubt Marie fest an ihren Traum. Ein Glück, dass der geniale Komponist Frédéric Chopin treu an ihrer Seite steht. Dabei kann er mit seinen schlauen Kommentaren manchmal ganz schön nerven, und irgendwie ist er ja leider auch schon tot. Eine sehr lebendige Freundin findet Marie dafür in der resoluten Misty McPherson, die auf ihren Durchbruch als weltweit erstes weibliches Kinder-Elvis-Double wartet. Mit viel Fingerspitzengefühl und Humor erzählt Elizabeth Heichelbech von einem provinziellen Außenseiterdasein und dem rettenden Glauben an die Kunst.

Great Dog Chew!
My American Pitbull who is 10 months old is an aggressive chewer. He loves this Tikaton bacon scented dog chew. My picture reflects the part he loves the most-the center. It’s his favorite chew & has been chewing on it nonstop & there’s little sign of true wear & tear. He licks the outer portion & really focuses on chewing the center. I like how it’s a non-toxic nylon. The box clearly gives a heads up that this could be a chocking hazard so I do watch him when he’s chewing. He’s 60lbs. & I did get him a large so it’s not too small for him. I don’t foresee him choking on it but I’m cautious. Despite his aggressive chewing there has been zero sign of any piece tearing off. I like how it’s designed so he chews from the side rather than from the top or bottom. I did take a picture, for your reference, which I hope is helpful, of what the box reads in regards to the chew in general. Possibly this will determine if you feel this is right for your dog. I feel it’s a quality chew & it’s worth what I paid. I do recommend!

Dogs would not even put in their mouth!
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Large
Toy is rock hard. Have seen toys like that before, but the smell is disgusting. I have 5 dogs, and while this was purchased for one in particular, none of the dogs would chew on it. Only one put it in his mouth, and then immediately spit it out. My dogs are not picky or finicky but none would have anything to do with it. Total waste of money.

Not the most durable, but my dog LOVES it.
Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 24"
My boyfriend’s dog had the small version from Petsmart and she has been very gentle with it since she likes it so much. I decided to surprise her with this 24 inch one for Christmas. She was obsessed! It’s cute, it’s very soft, and has a big squeaker in the top, which she loves! She was a little more tough on it and it did get some rips 12 hours in, but it is still in one piece at the moment and brings lots of joy. The dog is a medium/large size. Dog toys can be so expensive. I personally think the was a great price despite not being the most durable. I may purchase again next year!

Update: Excellent Customer Service Made Everything Worthwhile!
Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 24", Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 24"
07/17/2025: This doggy toy was destroyed within 2 hours of its arrival. In my opinion, it was not at all worth the cost. (1 star) Update (07/19/2025): I have contacted the manufacturer and they said they will send out a new replacement toy. As of now, I have revised the review to 2 stars for the excellent and efficient customer service pending arrival of said replacement. Will update again soon. (2 stars) Update (07/23/2025): The replacements have arrived! My dog loves the new plushie sloth and so far it is in tact. It doesn't have stuffing in the body as far as I can tell, so little to no clean up hopefully. They also sent her a spiked squeaky ball and she's getting used to it. This company has some of the best customer service and support that I've experienced. (5 stars)

Cute, Squeaky, and So Much Fun — Perfect Little Loofa Toy
Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 6"
The Multipet Original Loofa Dog plush (6”) has been a huge hit. It’s super cute in person, and the random color is a fun surprise. For a plush toy, the durability has been better than expected. It’s held up well to regular play, and the seams have stayed intact. Chewability is solid for light-to-moderate chewers—my dog loves chewing and carrying it around, but it’s still a plush toy, so it’s not meant for aggressive shredders. The squeak is loud enough to keep my dog interested without being obnoxious, and it still squeaks consistently. It’s also really fun for dogs because it has a bit of bounce when tossed, so it’s great for indoor fetch and pouncing. Soft, adorable, and entertaining—easy 5 stars.
