Old Bone with New Twist

   Chop-licking good!

Raindrop has a new toy.

  • It is challenging.
  • Tasty.
  • And impossible to resist.

Last week Raindrop was making me nuts.

  • I had a ton to do.
  • Including calls.
  • I needed her to be quiet.

Raindrop was bored.

  • Wanted attention.
  • Barked her demands.
  • Nothing worked.

I had inspiration due to desperation.

  • Grabbed a boring old bone.
  • Went to kitchen.
  • Wedged one of her very smelly favorite treats in the center of it.

Raindrop went wild for it.

  • The treat was stuck just beyond her ability to reach it.
  • She could smell it - and almost taste it.
  • But couldn’t get it out.

It took Raindrop almost three hours to get the treat out.

  • Her formerly neglected bone become the object of obsession.
  • She was totally engaged.
  • I got an afternoon of quiet.

It was a dream come true for both of us!

Makes me think of chapter leaders…what kind of a twist can you give your chapter’s boring old bones?
