Apparently. Is it possible to tie two puppies to the same peg? Apparently not. Why not? Is the leash left dangling in the neck of a puppy if another puppy is tied to its peg? What if the puppy is tied again to the same peg, is there then the new leash from its neck to the peg, and the old leash left dangling? Is it possible to leave the leash tied to the peg but untie the puppy? Apparently not. It's also not possible to look at the puppy and follow all the leashes to find all the pegs where the puppy is tied. The real third thing is not a thing but a relationship: being tied to.
