That sounds neat, Mike, I'll have to try it! I'm not quite trying to steal your thunder, here, but last spring I introduced Mr Clay (A fellow twister in Loveland.) to the Magic Pipe. When next I saw him a few weeks later, he kept a small bag of dog biscuits (bone shaped) in his balloon kit. He ground them down a bit to fit easily into the pipe, and inserts them into Dachsunds. Some slight of hand keeps the bone hidden until the dog is complete. (Clay's computer is on the fritz, but we're working on that...) I like your 'balloon-bone' idea, however, because I can do that even when I don't have a Magic Pipe with me. Thanks for the description! Chris Jackson Ft. Collins, CO.
