Judging her first Landfall Essay Competition in 2018, Landfall editor Emma Neale was seriously challenged. The overall high quality of the 90 submissions made it impossible to choose. After a nails-bitten-to-the-quick struggle, she optimistically submitted her â€shortlist’ of 21 essays. The publisher had some strong words with her. Emma was told a shortlist needed to be shorter than 21. A lot shorter. There were no fingernails left to chew. She wasn’t flexible enough to bite her toes. The only thing left to gnaw down was the too-long list. In the end she pared the list back to 10 but it seemed so wasteful not to be awarding many more prizes. The world needed to be able to read these damned fine essays. That’s when this book was born … Strong Words is a striking collection of essays that show what Virginia Woolf once described as the art that can at once â€sting us wide awake’ and yet also â€fix us in a trance which is not sleep but rather an intensification of life’. It celebrates an extraordinary year in New Zealand writing.

Dog Toys Ball, Motion
It keeps my dog entertained for quite a while, which has been a huge help when he has too much energy. The ball moves on its own and activates with motion, so it quickly grabs his attention. I liked that it features different functions and unexpected movements that make playtime more fun. The quality feels good for the price, and the battery lasts long enough for several play sessions. A great option for dogs that get bored easily

Cute toy for the pets
A cute interactive pet toy. You turn it on by screwing off the top, and it has 3 different modes and flashing lights. The ropes are separate and you tie them on the top. It rolls and moves around on the floor at different speeds depending on which mode and flashes different colored lights. It seems durable. My cat likes it more than the dog, but my dog is an older girl who doesn't play much. Most dogs would probably like it. It's rechargeable, so no batteries, and you can apparently use a bluetooth connection to download more sounds, etc. It's basically just chirps now and then.
Overall a great toy for bored pets. Not a superlight toy- has a little weight to it so it rolls around, and the ropes flop around.

Durable Interactive Dog Toy with Bluetooth Sounds – Perfect for Dogs Who Love Cat-Style Toys
This interactive dog toy is surprisingly durable and very engaging, especially for dogs that love cat-style toys. My dog is obsessed with cat toys and also always wants to destroy something, so this toy is a perfect match. The Bluetooth sound feature makes it even more fun and interactive.
Pros
• Very durable main body made of hard plastic; my dog hasn’t been able to destroy it
• Great for dogs that like “mouser-style” toys
• Bluetooth feature lets you play animal sounds or music (I use Spotify dog playlists)
• Three different modes and very easy to switch
• Interactive and mentally stimulating
• Comes with two replaceable ropes, which I’m really happy about
Cons
• The ropes don’t last long for strong chewers
• The top part where the rope is attached can be chewed
Overall
Honestly, if there weren’t any parts my dog could destroy, he probably wouldn’t find the toy interesting. That’s why I’m actually happy it comes with two ropes that I can attach and replace. The ropes are inexpensive and easy to swap out, so it’s not really a downside for us. Overall, this is a fun and clever toy that keeps my dog entertained. 🐶
