My bci, Sandy, seems to love to climb, but the only climbing she really gets is when she's on me. I've been trying to find a nice sized branch to add to her home to give the old gal some exercise...the only t hings I can fnd are the dinky little "vines" at pet stores that my gal would snap in two. If I found a branch off our pecan tree in the back yard, what preps would I need to take before it was safe for Sandy?
