Today's paw placement lesson is all about a single paw extension. Keep everything else tucked in, get your look of disdain dialed in... and reach!

Even while asleep, perfect paw placement is called for. Here, you can see a Triple Surrender! Somewhere, he keeps a fourth paw armed and ready for action, but there's just no telling where it is! Uhtred had a long day. Yes, you can pet his tummy now. THAT'S ENOUGH, BYE!
