Monasticism is a social and religious phenomenon which originated in antiquity and which still remains relevant in the twenty-first century. But what, exactly, is it, and how is it distinguished from other kinds of religious and non-religious practice? In this Very Short Introduction Stephen J. Davis discusses the history of monasticism, from our earliest evidence for it, and the different types which have developed from antiquity to the present day. He considers where monasteries are located, from East Asia to North America, and everywhere in between, and how their settings impact the everyday life and worldview of the monks and nuns who dwell there. Exploring how monastic communities are organized, he also looks at how aspects of life like food, sleep, sex, work, and prayer are regimented. Finally, Davis discusses what the stories about saints communicate about monastic identity and ethics, and considers what place there is for monasticism in the modern world.

Durable and my pup loves it
Color: YELLOW, Color: YELLOW
My pup loves squeaky toys. The problem is she also likes to tear up the toy to get the squeaky out. Finding a toy that she enjoys and it have the durability to stand up to her is a challenge.
I decided to give the CJZJPV Plush goose a try and I’m glad I did.
She absolutely loves the toy and it has stood up to her chewing and shaking.
The thing I notice about many dog toys is there always seems to be a bad seam or weak spot in the toy. My pup will find this imperfection and go ahead to dismantle the toy.
The seams on the CJZJPV are done well and there are no protruding eyes or flaw for her to get her teeth into.
This is a good, durable dog toy.

A huge hit for the whole pack
Color: GREEN
Finding a toy that appeals to multiple dogs with different play styles is tough, but this interactive green goose is an absolute home run. The combination of the crinkle wings and the squeaker keeps them entertained and busy way longer than a standard plush toy.
Despite the daily thrashing, tugging, and chewing, the durability has been incredibly impressive. It’s the perfect size for larger breeds to grip, yet lightweight enough for smaller dogs to carry around by the neck.

Great toy that's a real hit so far!
Color: YELLOW
This squeaky goose has been a total hit and, more importantly, it actually passed the "German Shepherd test." It is always a gamble with plush toys and large breeds, but this one has stayed completely intact after several play sessions. Even with all the shaking and carrying around, the seams are holding up perfectly and the squeaker is still going strong. The combination of the squeak and the crinkle wings keeps things interesting, and the material feels much more durable than your average stuffed toy. If you have a powerful chewer who still loves a soft toy to carry around, this is a great, resilient option that won't fall apart immediately.

Great Bang for Your Buck
I didn’t know what to expect with these toys. How small are they, the quality, especially since they’re actually $1.33 each. I am so excited about these toys for my Havanese puppy! They’re a perfect size for him and they’re well sewn and cutely decorated. They’re stuffed and have a squeaker. He’s had one exactly like these for 2 months and he loves it and hasn’t torn it apart. When I saw the box delivered today I thought oh no these are so tiny. Until opened it and kept pulling perfect sized toys and a storage bag! These are just carefully and mindfully packed to fit in that box!
