For four generations Steve’s family has been rooted in the U.S. aerospace and aviation industry. In 1972 while working on his Master’s Degree in history at UCLA he discovered that there were no jobs for history professors anywhere in the U.S. Following in his mother’s footsteps he earned a lifetime K-12 + Adult School degree and became an elementary school teacher in Burbank, CA. After four years of no raises, his wife begged his Lockheed Skunk Works brother-in-law to get him a job at Lockheed Burbank. One interview later in 1979 Steve was hired as an entry-level administrator in Lockheed’s International Trade Development organization where they handled activity they called “Offset” in Canada, Australia, The Netherlands, and Portugal. Thus began the long journey to the true-story scandal infamously known as “The Letter Bomb”. After twenty years at Lockheed, Steve went on to work for Boeing for eighteen years before retiring out of the Washington D.C. corporate office in 2020.

Smaller than expected
Color: Donuts
Wayyyy tinier than I expected but its ok, I have a mini dachshund and the size fits. She doesnt play with these as much as heretics other big girl toys but these are super cute. Each one has a squeaker which she loves to try and tear out. They are soft and squishy for her small teeth.

Love them! Dog is Obsessed.
Color: Donuts
These are absolutely adorable. Just the right size for my 20 ish lb pup. They seem to be durable and made from good quality materials. They're soft and light so they don't make any noise or issues when he chucks them across the room while he's playing. Definitely great value for great price.

Fun but not for aggressive chewers
Color: Donuts, Color: Donuts
Super cute and I like that it’s like 4 toys in 1. My Yorkiepoo loved it! She wouldn’t engage with any other toys all night. Anything with a squeaker and crinkle noise, she is all over it. It’s a lot smaller than I thought, but those little donuts are just the right size to get in her mouth…and devour! She’s a fetch girl, so she had fun chasing this toy all over the house. After a day, there is only one donut left and the box. I kinda expected this since my dog’s main agenda when it comes to these kinds of toys is to how fast can I kill it so if you have an aggressive chewer like mine, it may be fun but it won’t last long.

My dog loves this toy!!!
Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Style: Stick Medium
I bought this toy for my 80 lb dog who is very rough on her toys. She Loves squeaker toys. This toy held up for about 1 years which is awesome for how aggressive my dog is with her toys. I play tug of war with her with this. The squeaker didn't last too long. Somehow she broke that pretty quickly but the toy itself was very strong and durable. It's a softer rubber like material and it's bendable and twistable. After the toy broke (it actually broke in half), I purchased her another one because of how much she enjoyed it. This newer one, the squeaker still works and have had it for about 6 months or so now. I highly recommend this toy to anyone who has a dog that is an aggressive chewer and who's hard on their toys.
