A tour-de-force about two women and the piano that inexorably ties their lives together through time and across continents--for better and for worse. In 1962, in the Soviet Union, eight-year-old Katya is bequeathed what will become the love of her life: a Bl thner piano, built at the turn of the century in Germany, on which she discovers everything that she herself can do with music and what music, in turn, does for her. Yet after marrying, her husband insists the family emigrate from Russia to America--and loses her piano in the process. In 2012, in Bakersfield, California, twenty-six-year-old Clara Lundy has to find a new apartment after breaking up with yet another bad boyfriend. Her living situation is complicated by the last gift her father gave her before he and her mother died in a terrible house fire: a Bl thner upright she has never learned to play. Now a talented and independent auto mechanic, Clara's career is put on hold when she breaks her hand trying to move the piano, and in sudden frustration she decides to sell it. Only in discovering the identity of the buyer--and the secret history of her piano--will Clara be set free to live the life of choosing.Binding Type: Paperback

A must have for active dogs
Size: Max Size, Size: Max Size
I normally do not write reviews unless a product is really good or really bad.
I have a dog that thinks chasing balls is the only thing in life and unfortunately she has a mom that has anchor pins in both shoulders.
We've been using this ball launcher for little over a year. It goes through about 32 dirty balls, 3 times a day and has held up amazingly. It is even full of dirt and still keeps on working, it looks like R2D2 went thru a battle. 😆
I recently bought a second one as a back up because I can't believe this poor thing hasn't given up yet.
I rotate the balls because my dog brings them back wet and muddy, then they won't launch as far, so I knock some dirt off of a dry one and launch it.
I would highly recommend this for active dogs.

DO NOT BUY! IT BREAKS EASILY.
Size: Max Size
DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY! The first time I bought this product it broke within a couple of weeks. The conveyor belt stopped spinning making the unit unusable. The second one I bought broke within the first hour. Again the conveyor belt but this time it would spin uncontrollably even when the unit was turned off. We used the balls included in the packaging and with supervision which is recommended in the product pamphlet. I tried to reach out to All For Paws but was unable to locate a working customer service number. For the price it should continue to work without issue. Very disappointing.

Your dog Might Not Be as Excited as You Are
Size: Max Size
It arrived and worked as expected. Throws a good distance, not loud & easy to use. However, my rescue Belgian Shepherd (24/7 ball dog) was totally scared of it. Work with her for a week but she would literally avoid even being in the same room. Being she is rescue you never know what happen to them in the past. Moral of the story, just bc you have a full-on ball dog doesn’t mean they will be excited as you are. Unfortunately had to return.

Good but not great.
Size: Max Size-EPTU Balls
Good but not great. We had to return. We liked it first out of box BUT as soon as the balls got damp from grass and slobber they were not launching well.
