Strong Creeping Red Fescue is a perennial cool-season grass native to Europe that is widely distributed throughout the cool-humid regions of North America. It is called “Creeping” due to the fact that it spreads slowly by underground runners or rhizomes.  It is superior to other cool season grasses (Kentucky Bluegrass, Perennial Ryegrass, Tall Fescue) for shade tolerance which makes it an ideal component in turfgrass mixtures with Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Ryegrass for sun and shade conditions.

It can be mowed or left unmowed to produce a very appealing ground cover or meadow.  When left unmowed, it exhibits better heat tolerance and will grow to a full mature height of 12-15 inches.  It does not do well under warm, humid conditions, but will persist in arid climates with irrigation.  Creeping Red Fescue does not do well under high traffic conditions.

Celestial Strong Creeping Red Fescue is an improved cultivar that exhibits improved drought and disease tolerance with excellent winter color and blends well with other grasses.  Celestial was highly rated in turfgrass NTEP trials and is a certified “TWCA” product meaning that it has been bred and tested to show improved drought tolerance.

Not for "chewers" or puppies.
The toy is not "ruff and tuff", at all. Puppy had it torn to bits in just a few minutes. Nothing like handing your dog the toy while you finish unloading groceries only to come back and it looks like it snowed stuffing in your living room. It's made of a very thin material and is quite flimsy. Won't be buying this brand again. Might be good for an older dog who just wants to carry it around or play fetch. Although it's so light and flimsy, throwing it any farther than a few yards probably wouldn't work...

Favorite Handy Toy
This snake has been around our house for years! My shitzu/maltease dog is tiny, and he has a small mouth, but I call him Diablo! He loves to growl and act like a horrible terror when it comes to fighting over a little squeaky toy, and we use the snake to try to "push" the little toy away from his mouth. He loves to bite the snake and pull on it viciously. The snake has tiny holes in it, but has pretty much stayed intact. I am getting ready to add more stuffing inside it so it won't be so floppy. years of use have flattened it out. I love this thing. Well worth the money for a small-mouthed dog. The squeaker in the head was fun while it lasted, but the beauty of this snake is its shape and versatility as a pull on, and sneak up behind toy.

Fantastic Toy!!!
Pattern Name: Duck, Pattern Name: Duck
16 squeakers!! Every one works! Best toy I’ve found!! At 71yrs, I’ve had many dogs. Many toys. Rocky couldn’t be happier. Which makes me happy! It’s a bright yellow duck, kinda flat. 16 squeakers!! Big, for my 5.5 lb Pomeranian, but, he’s all boy, so, it’s great. He won’t leave me alone!! Play time, and, looking in my eyes with all the love he feels for me…. I’ll buy every toy this company makes, just to get that look from my pup!! Sturdy, so far. Beautiful orange and yellow colors. Soft toy. I love it, myself!! The box says it’s a 27 inch toy. So….its a 27 inch toy. Yes…for the many squeakers, I’m gonna hunt for more from this company. Rocky and I are having a Ball with this toy!!! A great bonding item for us. And, I enjoy seeing my boy’s eyes sparkle. I would do anything for Rocky!! Thank you, Amazon!!!

Wonderful bunny toy
Pattern Name: Rabbit
My dog is totally obsessed with this bunny! She loves it so much. She doesn’t chew it up or squeak it which is strange but she packs it around with her everywhere she goes. She is lab pit mix and usually chews toys to shreds in a few days but not this one!
