Synchronized Napping

We know you've all been eagerly awaiting Blogville's Pawlympic Synchronized Napping event and it is finally here. For those of you who follow Synchronized Napping you know this is a pairs or multiple event and it has two categories Parallel Napping and Freestyle Napping. Parallel requires the animals to nap in parallel positions. Technically the animals shouldn't touch, but in our example we found that to be next to impossible. We do expect the animals to demonstrate parallel positions however. Freestyle napping allows more creativity, but the animals must be touching even in a minor point at the time the picture is taken.

Parallel Entries:

This was our first parallel entry and a great example of the skills required. Look at the lines.

Artistic Freestyle Entries:

Alasandra, The Cats & Dogs

I was unclear about this entry and since it didn't include a category for the entry I went with freestyle. The cats are touching and the white cat clearly wants to emphasize the artistic head move. while they may have originally started on the path to a parallel entry, at some point they decided to explore freestyle napping. An great entry in our freestyle napping category.

Dory and Jakey

The bum cuddle is a popular artistic move beautifully illustrated here.

Mom agreed to help since this entrant didn't have another animal to enter the event with but really wanted to participate.

Not that the judges are supposed to be biased, but Shelties did invent this event.
