Read this, laughed a lot and imagined Pretzel doing it. I thought "nahhh..."
Spoke/thought too soon I guess.
Okay...so it wasn't my ear. It was my nose. And it wasn't Pretzel it was Munch.

Munch decided to wrap himself around my head and face and was, it seems, attempting to find somewhere to latch on.

Which apparently meant repeatedly poking me in the face with his tail until he found....my nose.

My eye socket was nearly his ending point. But I guess my nose was good enough.
