As no sensible person would make a long road trip without first consulting a map, so the person intent upon gaining Heaven should first resort to a competent guide to reach that Goal of all goals. And no better guide to Heaven exists than An Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622), Doctor of the Church. It is at once easy to read, being laid out in short chapters, yet thorough, authoritative, reliable, kind and gentle a mirror of its author. It is a book, moreover, for all, because all are called to the devout life. True devotion to God, the author points out, adorns every vocation. The devout life, moreover, is a lovely, a pleasant, and a happy life. (p. 5) Addressed as a personal letter to Philothea, the lover of God which genuinely represents the reader the book covers: our first desire to lead a devout life to our full resolution to do so, how we should approach God in prayer and the Sacraments, the practice of 16 important virtues, remedies against ordinary temptations, and becoming confirmed in our practice of devotion. St. Francis says, Devotion is spiritual agility and vivacity, by means of which charity works in us, or we in her, with love and readiness; and as charity leads us to obey and fulfill all God s Commandments, so devotion leads us to obey them with promptitude and diligence. (p. 3) An Introduction to the Devout Life is a book to be read with pencil in hand. It is a book to be read again and again. It is a book to make your guide for the rest of your life. It goes to the heart of becoming good. Its aim is to help you be rid of sin and even the inclinations to sin. Alone, its 10 brief meditations in Part I will orient you toward God for the rest of your life. No one will come away without being profoundly impressed and without being motivated to enter upon the devout life . . . which leads ultimately to God and to Heaven.

Necessary for a small dog.
These are great for a small dog! They can get their mouth around it unlike a round ball. My dog is obsessed with these.
They are great for making him love a new guest to the house. All they have to do is squeak and throw the toy and they have a new friend!

Great for little dogs but squeaker breaks too easily
My Maltese is about 4.5 pounds and absolutely loves these! He got very excited to play with it right away. The shape is like a slightly flattened ball which is great bc he can pick it up in his tiny mouth. It’s actually quite cute to see him run with it back to me. When you throw it, the way it bounces and rolls is very unpredictable, which I think adds to the fun. Sometimes my pup drops it while running back and it goes rolling or awkwardly bouncing away from him which causes him to get more excited to chase it and grab it again. It’s been a highly entertaining toy for almost a week straight. The only downside is that the squeaker in it isn’t very durable. After a few days of playing and chewing to squeak it himself, the squeaker barely makes any noise. My pup isn’t an aggressive chewer at all so if your dog is an aggressive chewer, the squeaker really will not last.

G for small dogs
My Havanese absolutely loves these small toys, which we refer to as pucks. They are the perfect size for him. His previous favorite was a small green pig, but ever since we purchased these for his second birthday, he has shown no interest in the pig. They are easy to throw and fit comfortably in his mouth. I plan to purchase more. I would not recommend for strong chewers. My only complaint is I wish they all had happy or crazy faces instead of angry or sad ones.

hours of fun
my dogs really loved this toy. I would highly recommend this, but the squeaker is louder than normal so if noise bothers you, then I would not recommend.
