How to turn a puppy into a pretzel

 Begin this process with a windfall tree branch that has lots of twists and turns in it.

Starting point, June 21, 2025.

Allow the puppy to strip smaller twigs and bark from the branch.  Then let the puppy play with it.  

Note the step-by-step process of the puppy trying to relocate the branch and shake its neck.  This demonstration was put together by Ember the evening of July 9th, 2025.

Grasp toward one end.

Step over with one rear paw and one front paw, so that the branch weaves under your belly.

Twist your body to try to grab it behind your right hind quarter.

You may have to go under that right hind leg to grasp the branch.  Ooops!

You have now become a puppy-flavored pretzel, as you flop onto your butt!

This is such a great exercise tool... wonder how much I can sell them for?  What do you mean the tree only produced ONE, and it's only for me?

Life is good!  Keep on Sparking!
