Sure, I balked at the $40 price tag on this stuffed animal, but reviewers say their puppies slept through the night with it, so I took the plunge. The first few nights (or weeks) of crate training are always miserable, which is why I was ready and willing to purchase anything that promised to ease my pup’s transition into her new home. Get the Aspen Pet Porter Heavy-Duty Pet Carrier, 50-70lbs on Amazon for $76.28 5. My one complaint is that edges don’t line up at one corner, so I couldn’t put two of the screws in-no big deal since we’re not using it for traveling, but it could be a dealbreaker for some.ĭo we recommend it? It’s kind of annoying that it doesn’t fit together perfectly, especially for the price, but it’s still a high-quality plastic crate/carrier. Overall, the crate seems very sturdy, and Addy has no problem sleeping in it. After a lot of research, I settled on the Aspen Pet Porter Heavy-Duty Pet Carrier in the 50- to 70-pound size, and oh man, is it big! It does seem like it will be larger than necessary, but I guess it’s better for it to be too big than too small. This crate is bigger than anticipated, but it's really nice.Īddy has a hand-me-down crate that she’ll likely outgrow soon, so I figured I would just buy another one to use as a spare or swap into when she’s big enough. Her authorial voice is so different than mine. She assumes conclusions where I would make long arguments. She asks questions where I would offer answers. She tells stories where I would assert propositions. Although Sarah Bessey writes well and although I pretty much agree with her, I found reading the book’s initial pages to be a long, hard slog. So why not read and review something normal people actually liked?Īs per usual, I listened to my wife, returned to Barnes & Noble, purchased a copy, and started reading. And the kind of books I liked to read were nerdy, she said, and no one other than me cared about them. Then my wife told me I needed to read Jesus Feminist. So, I left Sarah Bessey on the shelf and exited the store sans book. And despite being theologically egalitarian, I don’t like the word feminist. I didn’t like the juxtaposition of the Cross and the Venus symbol. You know our mothers told us never to judge a book by its cover? I ignored that advice when I saw Jesus Feminist on the shelf at Barnes & Noble. Sarah Bessey, Jesus Feminist: An Invitation to Revisit the Bible’s View of Women (New York: Howard Books, 2013).

Opened in 1889 for the World Fair, the Eiffel Tower quickly became one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. Since it’s basically the classic Parisian icon, no trip to Paris is complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To see the Eiffel Tower, have a glass of champagne, get my daughter some macarons, and have a croissant au chocolat. Just about an hour by train from Brussels, I couldn’t think of one reason not to go. The weather was rainy and I had toured the city the day before, so my travel partner and I decided to check the train times and decided to hop on a train to Paris. I was on a business trip in Brussels and and finished my meetings early in the morning and had all day until a dinner meeting. But what do you do when you only have a few hours to spend? While many people spend the entirety of their vacations in Paris, it’s also one of the most popular day trips in Europe.
