Contagious Focus Sticks

Remember Qannik’s focus practice on his “zen” stick a few weeks ago?

Can't let the stick get away.

Apparently, the behavior is contagious. Don’t believe us? Check this out.

My big brother Q-Tip told me just to concentrate on this stick.

You had better not move, stick.

Wait. This tastes pretty good.

Munch time!

    Cheoah, I think I know exactly when your Zen moment was! That stick looks like it must have been tasty. Don’t get any splinters in your tongue!

    That looks very familiar!!!!

    One of my dogs, years ago, had a stick that she was so focused on that she’d leave it outside the house, never forget where she left it, and then go directly to find it when we went outside again. True devotion! I still have the stick because it’s such a fun memory of her… Yes, I’m sentimental.

    Mmm. Sticks. I love sticks. I love to peel the bark off of them. Do you guys do that too?

    I think they are willing the sticks to become bully sticks! “C’mon, little stick, you are now MEAT!”

    That looks like really hard work! Did you take a break after all that concentrating?

    Baily can spend hours tearing a stick to shreds

    I love to chew up sticks too, but usually IN the house.

    Poor Thunder, he can’t get his paws together to hold a stick – tough going with a bone too, but he manages somehow.

    Rusty, maybe you could come over with Qannik and give him some lessons:)
