"A Homeric hero in an epic foreclosure battle"Homer Maxey was a war hero, multimillionaire, and pillar of the Lubbock, Texas, community. During the post-World War II boom, he filled the West Texas horizon with new apartment complexes, government buildings, hotels, banks, shopping centers, and subdivisions.
On the afternoon of February 16, 1966, executives of Citizens National Bank of Lubbock met to launch foreclosure proceedings against Maxey. In a secret sale, more than 35,000 acres of ranch land and other holdings were divided up and sold for pennies on the dollar. By closing time, Maxey was penniless.
Maxey sued the bank and every member of the board of directors, including long-time friends and business partners. Almost fifteen years, two jury trials, and nine separate appeals later, the case was settled on September 22, 1980.
" Broke, Not Broken," the story of this record-breaking, precedent-setting legal case, illuminates a community and a self-styled go-getter who refused to back down, even when his opponents were old friends, well-heeled leaders of the community, a bank backed by powerful Odessa oil men, and the most formidable attorneys in West Texas."

Squeaky balls for big dogs
Color: Squeaky-4 Pack, Size: Medium
I wanted a cheaper alternative to the Kong squeaky balls but unless you have big dogs that have powerful jaws, it is challenging for small and some medium dogs to squeak these. My dogs lost interest when they realized they couldn't squeak them. I will have to pass them off to a friend who has large dogs.

Moms dog here…reviewing cos it’s mine!
Color: Squeaky-4 Pack, Size: Medium
Moms corgo here. Reviewing the squeaky balls mom bought.
First off..they’re green. I don’t know what green exactly is cos I’m colorblind, so whatever that is it is and because it’s mine, I like it.
Secondly, they’re fluffy. It’s an annoying texture that I like to peel off, but these are tough and peeling them is a struggle.
Thirdly, the bounce. I don’t know where these balls think they’re going to think my mom is so repulsive, but they bounce just high enough to catch them and bring the escapee back to mom when I feel like they need to go back to her, otherwise, I take them to a safe spot to release into the wild…but mom always captures them and they always escape. I tell you, it’s a vicious cycle.
Fifthly…the squeak!! That rotten vulgar noise!! I want to unalive those things so bad!! Balls in the past were no match for my jaws of death, but these?? These are resilient and have quite the will to live! I have yet to destroy one!!
To wrap this up…Corgo approves and declares them mine. I like them. I think your doggo will like them too. But you can’t have mine..cos they’re mine.
*drops the corgo mic*

Not for aggressive chewers
Color: Non Squeaky-12 Pack, Size: Medium
You get a good amount of balls for the price. My dogs loved them but unfortunately they did not last long. That is not the company’s fault, my dogs are very toy aggressive and destroy almost every toy.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch.
These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds.
The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!
