Waiting for Snow in Havana: Confessions of a Cuban Boy"Have mercy on me, Lord, I am Cuban." In 1962, Carlos Eire was one of 14,000 children airlifted out of Havana exiled from his family, his country, and his own childhood by Fidel Castro's revolution. Winner of the National Book Award, this stunning memoir is a vibrant and evocative look at Latin America from a child's unforgettable experience. Waiting for Snow in Havana is both an exorcism and an ode to a paradise lost. For the Cuba of Carlos's youth
"Have mercy on me, Lord, I am Cuban." In 1962, Carlos Eire was one of 14,000 children airlifted out of Havana--exiled from his family, his country, and his own childhood by Fidel Castro's revolution. Winner of the National Book Award, this stunning memoir is a vibrant and evocative look at Latin America from a child's unforgettable experience. Waiting for Snow in Havana is both an exorcism and an ode to a paradise lost. For the Cuba of Carlos's youth--with its lizards and turquoise seas and sun-drenched siestas--becomes an island of condemnation once a cigar-smoking guerrilla named Fidel Castro ousts President Batista on January 1, 1959. Suddenly the music in the streets sounds like gunfire. Christmas is made illegal, political dissent leads to imprisonment, and too many of Carlos's friends are leaving Cuba for a place as far away and unthinkable as the United States. Carlos will end up there, too, and fulfill his mother's dreams by becoming a modern American man--even if his soul remains in the country he left behind. Narrated with the urgency of a confession, Waiting for Snow in Havana is a eulogy for a native land and a loving testament to the collective spirit of Cubans everywhere.Binding Type: Paperback

NOT for Aggressive Chewers.
Flavor Name: Bacon Flavored, Size: Medium/Large-under 60LBS, Flavor Name: Bacon Flavored, Size: Medium/Large-under 60LBS
I received 2 of these on May 6th and gave 1 to my Golden retriever then gave my Miniature Heeler the second 2 days ago on May 10th. This image is taken on May 12th.
It’s too soft to be labeled for Aggressive chewers because with other bones I have previously purchased the bones have been lasting forever. Which has me concerned about how much plastic-like material they’re consuming. I don’t recommend this one for Aggressive or even Moderate chewers.

JoviQ Dog Chew Toys for Aggressive Chewers
Flavor Name: Bacon-2Pcs, Size: Medium/Large-under 60LBS
These dog chews have been some of my dogs favorites for a few weeks now! They've managed to work a whole end off the t-bone already which is a bit surprising, usually these types of bones take them much longer to make that much 'progress' on so I think these are a bit on the softer side as far as plastic bones go! Otherwise they've worked well for my must-chew-everything dogs and haven't caused any problems (I fully expect them to eat small bits of plastic with these but its that or the walls and carpet so..)
