The Fox WomanThe Fox Woman is a powerful first novel, singing with lyrical prose and touching the deepest emotions. A historically accurate fantasy, it gives us a glimpse into, and an understanding of, the history that shaped the people of one of our world's greatest nations. But it is also a story about people trying to understand each other and the times they live in, people trying to see through illusions to confront the truth of who they are. Kij Johnson has
The Fox Woman is a powerful first novel, singing with lyrical prose and touching the deepest emotions. A historically accurate fantasy, it gives us a glimpse into, and an understanding of, the history that shaped the people of one of our world's greatest nations.
But it is also a story about people trying to understand each other and the times they live in, people trying to see through illusions to confront the truth of who they are. Kij Johnson has created an achingly beautiful love story, a fable wrapped in smoke and magic set against the fabric of ancient Japan. Johnson brings the setting lovingly to life, describing a world of formalities and customs, where the exchange of poetry is a form of conversation and everything has meaning, from the color of the silks on wears to how one may address others. Yoshifuji is a man fascinated by foxes, a man discontented and troubled by the meaning of life. A misstep at court forces him to retire to his long-deserted country estate, to rethink his plans and contemplate the next move that might return him to favor and guarantee his family's prosperity. Kitsune is a young fox who is fascinated by the large creatures that have suddenly invaded her world. She is drawn to them and to Yoshifuji. She comes to love him and will do anything to become a human woman to be with him. Shikujo is Yoshifuji's wife, ashamed of her husband, yet in love with him and uncertain of her role in his world. She is confused by his fascination with the creatures of the wood, and especially the foxes that she knows in her heart are harbingers of danger. She sees him slipping away and is determined to win him back from the wild...for all that she has her own fox-related secret. Magic binds them all. And in the making (and breaking) of oaths and honors, the patterns of their lives will be changed forever.Binding Type: Paperback

It's not for aggressive chewers.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Large
The bone looks solid except for the brown strip wrapped around it. My dog chewed a piece of it off and tried to swallow them. I had to pull two strips of hard plastic out of his mouth. I threw the bone away.

Seemed to be flavorful
This toy started off strong. Could smell the chicken stock. by the next day the bone was destroyed. I am not going to say the product was weak, but my 60 lb. pit is a lot stronger, I guess. The material did not make a mess as far as I know, unless my dog just inhaled all of the tiny pieces

If you have a chewer - This is the bone for you!
I have purchased this bone three times and thought it was about time I wrote a review. My dog is a chewer - No matter how tough the toy claims to be, he rips it apart in minutes. And although he has a few hard bones, he prefers the toys he can damage. I received this bone as a gift and expected it to be another one that would fall into the pile of rarely touched bones. But this is the bone that he grabs almost every day. I honestly don't know what makes this bone different, but he loves it! It holds up to heavy duty chewing no matter how much he chews it. It holds its shape and (apparently) its flavor. Little bits do break off and it shows wear over time, but it is very long lasting. Added bonus - As a dog parent, I love that it has no smell and it never gets wet/sticky/gross.

Truly indestructible!
My 80lb English bulldog, that literally can chew his way through a tree trunk if left to his own devices, has not been able to destroy this toy. Rather, he’s enjoyed chomping on it bc of the scent and heavy weight for more than a year. Good value and will hopefully last many more years.
