Description

Travels with My Donkey: One Man and His Ass on a Pilgrimage to SantiagoHaving no knowledge of Spanish and even less about the care and feeding of donkeys, Tim Moore, Britain's indefatigable traveling Everyman, sets out on a pilgrimage to the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela with a donkey named Shinto as his companion. Armed only with a twelfth century handbook to the route and expert advice on donkey management from Robert Louis Stevenson, Moore and his four legged companion travel the ancient five hundred mile route

Having no knowledge of Spanish and even less about the care and feeding of donkeys, Tim Moore, Britain's indefatigable traveling Everyman, sets out on a pilgrimage to the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela with a donkey named Shinto as his companion. Armed only with a twelfth-century handbook to the route and expert advice on donkey management from Robert Louis Stevenson, Moore and his four-legged companion travel the ancient five-hundred-mile route from St. Jean Pied-de-Port, on the French side of the Pyrenees, to the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela which houses the remains of Spain's patron saint, St. James.

Over sun-scorched highways, precipitous bridges, dirt paths shaded by leafy trees, and vineyards occasionally lashed by downpours, Moore and Shinto pass through some of northern Spain's oldest towns and cities in colorful company. Clearly more interested in Shinto than in Moore, their fellow walkers are an assortment of devout Christian pilgrims, New Age--spirituality seekers aspiring to be the next Shirley Maclaine, Baby Boomers contemplating middle age, and John Q Public just out for a cheap, boozy sun-drenched outdoor holiday.

As Moore pushes, pulls, wheedles, cajoles, and threatens Shinto across Spain, the duo overnights in the bedrooms, dormitories, and---for Shinto---grassy fields of northern Spain. Shinto, a donkey with a finely honed talent for relieving himself at the most inopportune moments, has better luck in the search for his next meal than Moore does in finding his inner pilgrim. Undaunted, however, Man and Beast finally arrive at the cathedral and a successful end to their journey. For readers who delighted in his earlier books, Travels With my Donkey is the next hilarious chapter in the travels of Tim Moore, a book that keeps the bones of St. James rattling to this day.

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. 🐶

Great for 2 Days…see comments
So it’s great toy and had our dog entertained immediately. However probably won’t last very long with medium to large dogs that gets obsessed with killing every toy you give them. Our Pitt mix loved this until she ended it by chewing through the heavy plastic ring that keeps the ropes connected. Without the noted ropes attached, the toy cannot move around. Basically ending the fun. Would be great to start a puppy or smaller dog on. It has multiple modes and is noise and proximity activated. Our dog was obsessed but sadly it was no match for her. 3 stars only because it didn’t last more than two days with our dog.
