hen and chicks succulent Hens and ChicksWe were surprised at how easily this succulent alpine perennial germinated and grew quickly into recognizable baby rosettes. Commonly known as houseleeks, they were once grown on roofs, and in historical folklore, it was believed they brought wealth and prosperity, protection from fire; especially from the Norse Thunder god, Thor who was said to throw thunderbolts down upon dwellings. In today's gardens, they can be tucked right into rocky and dry

We were surprised at how easily this succulent alpine perennial germinated and grew quickly into recognizable baby rosettes. Commonly known as houseleeks, they were once grown on roofs, and in historical folklore, it was believed they brought wealth and prosperity, protection from fire; especially from the Norse Thunder god, Thor who was said to throw thunderbolts down upon dwellings. In today's gardens, they can be tucked right into rocky and dry areas, requiring very little soil, or grown in pots.

Heavy

It’s a tough and heavy toy. Probably best for dogs over 10 lbs.

Way too easy for dogs to chew up
Color: Texas Longhorns
I have a black lab who likes to chew toys up. She destroyed this almost immediately with ease. It is not durable whatsoever to any chewing. Do not get.

Durable and fun!
Color: Michigan Wolverines
I’m impressed with this toy! My two puppies absolutely love it and it’s been a hit during playtime. What stands out the most is how durable it is. This toy has held up much longer than most of the others I’ve tried. Despite my puppies energetic play, it’s still in great shape! Plus, it’s the perfect size for them to carry around and chew on. Definitely a must-have for any Michigan fan with pups!
