 "Duvelsprie' (duivels kreng) is gebaseerd op een waargebeurd verhaal uit de stamboom van de vrouw van de schrijver.

We schrijven het jaar 1721. Anna, een meisje van 16 en haar vriend Jean komen met hun pasgeboren zoon Joes aan in het Zuid-Limburgse Schinnen. Ze zijn op de vlucht voor schande en armoe.

Bij aankomst overlijdt vader Jean plotseling. Nu moet Anna zich met haar kindje alléén zien te redden in een streng-religieuze omgeving. Waar het op dat moment onrustig is. De bevolking verarmt, ‘s nachts wordt er ingebroken in kerken en grote boerderijen. De autoriteiten reageren genadeloos: in honderden processen worden honderden mensen vervolgd en ter dood gebracht, de zogenaamde bokkenrijders.


De jonge moeder en haar zoontje Joes worden aanvankelijk meegesleurd in die kolkende stroom. Maar in de loop der jaren lijkt Anna greep te krijgen op haar leven. Het gaat steeds beter met haar en haar zoontje. En toch wringt er iets. Hoe meer het leven haar schenkt, hoe meer ze kwijtraakt. Dat jonge, felle meisje, die duvelsprie, die aanvankelijk alleen de weg van haar hart volgde, maakt gaandeweg berekenende keuzes, die ten koste gaan van geliefden en mensen die net zo kwetsbaar zijn als zij ooit was. Daarmee geeft ze een heel andere betekenis aan het begrip duvelsprie.


Maar… had ze überhaupt andere keuzes kunnen maken in die tijd, in die omgeving- als straatarme alleenstaande moeder met een kind?

My dogs think this is either terrifying or amazing
Color: Blue
I got this interactive dog toy thinking it would turn my living room into a fun little chase arena for my two small dogs. Technically, it did create excitement, but not in the way I expected. The toy rolls around unpredictably and wiggles its rope like it is trying to escape, which is honestly hilarious to watch. The movement is surprisingly energetic and the different speed modes keep it from feeling repetitive or robotic. The battery life is decent and it charges quickly, so it is easy to keep it ready for playtime. Now for the comedy... my one year old Silky Terrier is normally the fearless one. He charges vacuum cleaners, interrogates delivery boxes, and believes he is the head of household security. However, the moment this toy turns on and starts moving, he suddenly remembers he has very important business somewhere else. He will sit at a safe distance and stare at it like it might file a police report against him. The funny part is that when the toy is turned off, it instantly becomes his favorite object in the house. He happily grabs the rope, drags it around, chews on it, and proudly carries it like a trophy. Apparently his bravery only applies when the toy is not alive. I have discovered that in my house this is considered the acceptable mode of operation. My seven year old Yorkie is even wiser. She took one look at the moving toy, processed the situation for approximately three seconds, and decided she would absolutely not be participating in whatever nonsense was happening on the floor. She calmly walked away and has maintained that policy ever since. She clearly understands this toy and wants no part of it. Overall the toy is well made, entertaining, and definitely capable of keeping energetic dogs busy. Even if your dogs end up like mine and treat it as either a suspicious creature or a decorative rope toy, it still provides plenty of entertainment for the humans watching the situation unfold. If your dog enjoys chasing unpredictable moving toys, this one will probably become a household favorite. If not, you may at least get a very funny show out of it. 🐶

Just another reason to bark.
Color: Blue
I was so excited to come across this Interactive Dog Toy from Mewzoo, figuring that it would be a great way to give our dog some inside exercise during the rainy season that we have in this neck of the woods. It arrives with a charger, instructions and two ropes that can be tied to it, and it took about 2 hours to get it fully charged. In order to get it moving, one needs to unscrew the blue plastic piece and that gives access to the control inside of it. It has three speeds, but the faster speeds only seem to lessen the time intervals for when it moves, they don't make it move any faster or further. This is kind of a bummer, because it really does not move very far, it mostly just stays within a foot or two of where it started. So not much exercise potential here, unless you consider barking exercise. Barking is one thing we do not need more of in this household, so this toy is a bit of a flop for us. I imagined that our boy might run circles around it and get a bit more hyper, maybe even grab it by the rope and carry it around for a bit. In the beginning I think he was fearful because he just barked at it of it, and then he decided it was time to eat. As you can see in the video, after only a few minutes with it, it looks like he's decided it's just a nuisance, lol. The concept is good, and the toy itself is reasonably constructed to withstand some playtime. I just think it needs to have more movement and skitter around better to cover more distance. Then again at the whopping price of $10.99, i really can't complain.

Good interactive toy that keeps even my poodle mix busy
Color: Blue
We have a poodle mix that easily gets bored with most toys, including the other interactive bouncy balls. This toy seems to keep him busy though and so far he has not destroyed it or grown bored of it. The only problem we have is keeping it charged because he seems to wear it out but it is not a problem to recharge it with the USB cable that is included. It is a little tricky screwing the toy back together after charging the battery but I am getting the hang of it. Once it is set to one of the play modes the ropes on top (that you need to put on) will start spinning back and forth and the toy gyrates around seeming like it is alive to our dog. The loves playing with it in all of the modes but I think he likes that faster modes better. It comes with an extra rope which was good because our raptor dog already ripped the first one apart. The price on this toy is relatively low compared to tother toys to I highly recommend this for anyone that has a dog who is bored with the typical play toys.

Great entertainment for kittens too!
Color: Blue
My kittens love this toy and play with it more than my dog. I bought it on sale. I am impressed with the quality, ease of use, and I rarely need to charge it.
