The fabulous women from The Hot Flash Club are back in top form, welcoming the stressed-out and pampering-deprived through their discreet spa doors-as Nancy Thayer returns with a witty, sexy, and heartwarming novel. The Hot Flash Club Strikes Again also introduces four new women, ready for massages and seaweed wraps, each struggling to reconcile her secret dreams, biggest fears, and deepest feelings as topsy-turvy events shake up her life. After eighteen years of trying to make peace with her husband's cold-as-ice mother, Polly vows to be the perfect mother-in-law: loving, accepting, and determined to keep her mouth shut. Then her son marries Amy, a Birkenstocked gal whose organic farm and family ooze a rather creepy serenity. Ever the optimist, Polly puts her best foot forward . . . so why does it end up in her mouth? A shy and brilliant professor-to-be, Beth has lived a sheltered life. Then she meets Sonny, a rugged, sexy carpenter who sweeps her off her feet. The problem? Beth may not survive his loud, affectionate, athletic family-especially when the very beautiful and earthy woman everybody wanted Sonny to marry is still hanging around the family dinner table. Heiress to one of New England's oldest paper companies, Carolyn is the driving force behind the brand. Now, at thirty-seven, the workaholic executive is finally pregnant with her first child, and high blood pressure is forcing her to do something totally alien: relax. But how can she let down her guard when her seventy-something father has gone and eloped with a young bank clerk named Heather, whose rather plain looks and unassuming nature still manage to fill Carolyn with suspicion. A free-spirited photographer, Julia has married a man she loves, but he's come packed with baggage. Tim is a widower with a young daughter, and Julia has bravely stepped up to the plate, doing her best to provide maternal support. But as if being pinned down by the child's slightly manipulative ways and (dare Julia say it) spoiled behavior wasn't enough, there's Tim's ex-mother-in-law, whose meddling is getting nastier by the week. For Polly, Beth, Carolyn, and Julia, the time has come to stand up for what matters-for their passions, their hearts, and themselves. As they maneuver through family drama and embrace unexpected change, they come to find that life is much easier (and a lot more fun) when you've got friends, wine, and chocolate along for the ride.Binding Type: Paperback

Absolutely love this brand of ball for my dog
I end up replacing these every couple years, yep that's right, years. My border collie will grab this ball in his mouth and then kick another ball around. Don't know why he has to have something in his mouth to play soccer, but he is unique. He managed to tear one of these up when he was in his teething stage, but it took him months, and I took it away as soon as he managed to remove a piece of it. Otherwise, we usually lose these much more often than them getting destroyed through constant chewing, and I suspect heavy weathering outside for an extended period of time. Nowadays he doesn't chew on rubber nearly that often, he has developed his own picky preferences. This ball is his must have for playing around. He loves to drop it down the stairs and play fetch with himself. It's easy for him to grab, it isn't heavy so we don't worry about furnishing, walls, or family members when he is tossing it around. It is much more durable than most, with the exception of really heavy chewers/teething, even then it held up for a long time. As long as you are careful to remove it if they manage to chew through I would even try it out with teething puppies. The lawnmower is also this balls nemesis, it loses every time. If only I could convince the dog that he needs to stop sacrificing toys to the lawnmower :-)

Will Last!!!
My Saban is a black lab/pittie mix and is a very aggressive chewer with the bulldog jaws. I had bought the large ball for him and to be honest I didn't think it would be as big as it is or as heavy 😂😂😂!!! It's made of a very durable plastic and is holding up extremely well to his chewing on it!!! I'll be honest and say that unless you're using it outside and have some really good muscles in your arm that I would recommend buying this in the smaller size!!!! I normally play with him inside with his toys when the weather isn't good for going outside, but I don't throw this one inside because #1 it's so heavy and big that I can't throw it very good and # if I was to play with it inside I'm afraid the weight of it would break something!!! I would say that this is a great quality and very durable, but I wouldn't buy the large one again!!! I would definitely recommend this brand in a smaller size ball 👌 😊😊

Great product...wish you had color options
My dogs love these balls, but I wish you could choose the color. This is my dog's favorite toy. He can play tug of war with his siblings, and the ball usually lasts for quite awhile. Considering they are usually pretty destructive puppers, this is a minor miracle.
But, I can't just pick his favorite color and get it delivered. I have to play roulette, and pray that his color is the one that I get when I open the box. If they can allow us to choose the color(s) that we want, then this review will be upgraded to 5 stars.

A silent toy that still holds a dog’s interest
We bought this large size for our Rottweiler- but it was our 45# dog who fell in love with it. Cooper is 16, has kidney disease, dementia and loss of muscle coordination; so, it was an absolute joy to watch him engage with this toy. His foot went through the ball once, but he figured it out. He pushes it with his nose, and tries to squeak it. He “talks” to it. We haven’t heard that in a long time. It’s light enough that he can lift it - and it rolls and bounces nicely. For him it’s perfect. Our Rottie seems to understand that it’s his toy. Now, that’s love and understanding.

A big hit!
Our Rottie loves these! I wanted something like the Jolly Ball but that is soft for inside the house. She's had a lot of fun with this, picking it up, tossing it, playing soccer, etc.
