Finalist, 2019 Weatherford Award (Fiction)

A finalist for the 2019 Weatherford Award in Fiction, Weedeater  is a contemporary story of love and loss told by a pair of eastern Kentucky mountaineers: Gene, the lovelorn landscaper who bears witness to the misadventures of a family entangled in drugs, artmaking, and politics, a family beset by both environmental and self-destruction; and Dawn Jewell, a young mother  searching--for lost family members, lost youth, lost community, and lost heart.

Picking up six years after the end of Robert Gipe's acclaimed first novel, Trampoline, in Weedeater,  the reader finds Canard County living through the last hurrah of the coal industry and the most turbulent and deadly phase of the community's battle with opioid abuse. The events Gipe chronicles are frantic. They are told through a voice by turns taciturn and angry, yet also balanced with humor and stoic grace. Weedeater  is a story about how we put our lives back together when we lose the things we thought we couldn't bear losing, how we find new purpose in what we thought were scraps and trash caught in the weeds.

Dog loves them, no rawhide!
My dog is obsessed with these! We have a 70 pound pit mix who is a power chewer and these rolls last forever. He goes crazy for the peanut butter taste and it takes him a couple of days to really destroy one entirely. They are very effective for keeping him busy as the size is massive. I like giving him something so large because he then sets his mind to it for a long time. I like that they have a lot of collagen in them, I can't say I've noticed that his coat is a great deal shinier but it can't hurt! I also like that these are rawhide free. I would say these are a good value as they keep him busy for a good amount of time.

These are great my dog loved it
Well, I can say one thing I have shepherd. Wolf hybrids, and they are very particular about the stuff they eat. I can give them raw meat, and if it's old, they don't want it, so they're pretty finicky, I hooked them up with these. And they didn't hesitate to go at them. So I wait, I fed half, and then waited a couple of days, they had no negative response to it. That I'm aware of and so I gave him the other one and split it between them, and they don't stop until they're gone. So they pretty much sold themselves for me. If mine My dogs will eat em.They must be okay worth the money in my book.Made my babies happy should get some for yours my dogs are like super chooers.Okay, they have jaws that break bone.So to try to say that these are not good for heavy chewers, I i can't agree with that.Although they won't last very long with heavy chewers, they do great.The dogs love them we only smell was the smell of the product.Kind of a food smell to it.And as soon as I opened the package, the dogs had me surrounded like the sue did old custard, and they weren't letting me go until I shared straight up the male's a hundred plus pounds.And he's eyeballing me like, i'm gonna be lunch.If I don't give him a share, it was funny as hell a great product i think one of the things is the peanut butter.That's in them.My dogs love their peanut butter now.These are almost a foot long each stick, and they're about an inch and a half in diameter.Now they would last for a pretty good time for a normal chew type.DogRottweiler's pit bull saint bernard's high bread.Shepherds, et cetera, anything with a two thousand pound byte is going to tear these things up and have a great time.Doing itThey won't last as long as the dainty chewers and the the comfort chewers, but they'll do the job

Terrific! Much easier to use than Kongs and my dog loves it.
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
I like these so much better than the original Kongs. The large opening makes it so much easier to put peanut butter or cream cheese into it. Plus much easier to clean out afterwards. My dog also likes to chew it and play with it throwing it in the air after he’s done eating the peanut butter. Very sturdy - he chews apart stuffed toys but his chewing hasn’t damaged this at all. I highly recommend this product!

Great for strong chewing dogs. Entertaining too!
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
My black lab can destroy the toughest of dog chew toys, but he's not destroyed this peanut. I fill it with peanut butter, yogurt, pumpkin or apple sauce and freeze it. It keeps him entertained for quite a while. When the filling is gone, he leaves it alone or carries it around begging for a filled one.
