Longevity: What It's Like to Get There is a deeply personal reflection on aging, written not from theory, but from lived experience. At 96 years old, Douglas M. Gebbie offers a rare and honest perspective on the physical, emotional, and practical challenges that accompany advanced age. Unlike many books on aging written by younger authors or observers, this work speaks from within the experience itself—addressing loss, adaptation, resilience, and the quiet adjustments required as the years progress.
With clarity, humility, and insight shaped by both a long medical career and a long life, Gebbie reflects on what it means to continue living fully while navigating the limitations of aging. This book is not a manual, nor a lament, but a thoughtful companion for readers seeking understanding, perspective, and reassurance about growing older—from someone who is truly already there.

Long lasting for our dog. I'd buy again.
My wife fills the cups with applesauce, peanut butter and or pumpkin and then freezes it. The dog loves it and keeps him occupied for a little while. All his other toys and chews get chewed up in a couple of days and this has already been several weeks. I want to buy more cups if available. I'd buy it again and will look for similar items.

Durable, hard chew toy
My dog loves this toy!! He destroys everything but this has lasted us months. A lot of times he chews on it without us even filling the cup. Perfect size for a bigger dog like a golden retriever, but our small dog enjoys it too. Very durable chew toy!

Pieces of Plastic When Biting
My dog spent 15 minutes and then the item started to break up. As the dog was biting, little pieces were showing in his tongue. I threw it away. My dog is a lab.

Great idea
These are a good idea, I use frozen pumpkin and frozen blueberries in a cup, then put it in the corn, for my dog to have, while I'm at work.
