This hard maple chunk has been Fitzi’s go-to chew toy for about five years. Doesn’t splinter, break into potentially swallowable pieces.

Still the coolest rope toy on the face of the earth.
Hearing an unfamiliar sound out on the street, Fitzi heads to the gate to investigate.
Fitzi, at rest. I love this good boy.
I’m blessed to have you in my life.
Fitzi invites an out-of-frame Lucy to play.
We are so blessed to have this handsome boy.
Yes you may. Thank you for asking.
While there are many sticks in the world,
These sticks are mine.
Fitzi, on a sunny December day.
