Pointy Sticks

Stjarna spat out the last of the leaves, licking the remnants of bark from out between her teeth before she peeked at what the other two were doing. They seemed to picking everything up quickly. Her tail wagged back and forth, excited to have some company for this lesson. They soon moved on to sharpening the stick. Oh boy… this looked like it was going to take more coordination than she normally had.

Picking up the spear in her jaws she trotted over to a large rock. She carefully repositioned the spear in her mouth so that her jaws were closer to the tip she wanted to sharpen for better leverage. She used her paws to help balance it. Star eyed the rock for a moment then started rubbing the end of the spear against the rock as she worked to make a sharpened point. It took some doing but with a little persistence she soon had a basic spear.
