Is inflatable yak butter as good as regular yak butter? ---

Again going by memory I would say it was the size of a 4 year old. If your google-fu is strong maybe adding R&S into the search somehow may get you some results. ---

It seems that you may be suffering from (as mentioned on one of those balloons) Silly Yak Disease.

There are a number of balloons with yaks upon them listed on [Cafe Press](https://www.cafepress.com/+yak+balloons). ETA: There are also a number of t-shirts and so on. Here’s one from [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Yak-Balloon-Heart-Valentines-TShirts/dp/B07MCYR7VH). ---

And I actually had enough cognitive thought to call our friends this AM; they have no memory of where theirs came from but the box did have a R&S tie-in. Their best guess is that they impulsed it while at a Wally-World or Pool City. ---

Can anyone help me buy a stuffed yak dog toy? [This one](https://www.shopyourway.com/krislin-yak-plush-dog-toy/394336389) is out of stock at the places I’ve checked. I like the [Highland cow](https://www.amazon.com/KCFT-Living-Nature-Highland-Sound/dp/B00OLN1KSI) better, but am concerned about durability. Earlier this week, Pluto chewed through the head of a plush crocodile dog toy in about 45 minutes. ---

I like it. The tousled hair and beard makes Zak the Yak look like a very intellectual yak, in an academic sense. You can just picture this yak giving a lecture on Hegelian dialectics, its over-long fur flapping delightfully with each emphatic gesture. Plus the ad says it’s suitable for ages 10 months and up, so I qualify.
