Yawning for Puppies

Not That Mike The Other Mike8 Comments

While it may appear simple and spontaneous, yawning is a complex skill that requires practice to achieve mastery. In this guide you will learn the three steps of the basic puppy yawn:

Step One: Preparation — Allow your body to become limp and sleepy. Clear your mind of thoughts, if you happen to have any.

Pay no attention to that fly.

Step Two: Initiate the Yawn — Extend tongue forward. Take care at this step that tongue does not trail onto ground.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Step Three: Follow Through — While withdrawing your tongue, open your mouth wide as if about to eat a giant cheeseburger. Curling the tongue at this step adds an extra flourish.

Wait, this is a new place? But I was just getting used to the old place! I had my favorite jingle toys and a zoomies course all mapped out, and now everything’s different! What if I don’t like it here? What if I miss my friends? What if they… wait, do I smell somebody making a tuna sandwich?
