Olympic Training Accident

Katy had to visit the vet yesterday after getting a splinter in her paw. She was quite a brave girl about the injury, but her training schedule has been drastically reduced to deal with her injury.

We think this would be a great time to get her sleeping and couch events finished.

So far we have registered for the discus/frisbee event, window art, opening and closing ceremonies, couch potato peeling, cross neighborhood walkabout, critter stalking, pole jumping, sycronized sleeping, and the tennis ball event. Mom realized our eyes were open for some of the sleeping/couch peeling event shots she wanted to use, so she will have to get those done hopefully before this posts.

Registration is Open for the Blogville Olympics

We are so excited that we can actually start sending and receiving photographs for Olympic events. You can find a list of event host posts here to find out where to register. Our event is the Squirrel Hurdles the information for the event is posted here. All entries for the Squirrel Hurdles can be sent to sheltietimes(at)yahoo(dot)com. Please pictures only as Mama cannot manage videos.

We will be posting and updating a list of athletes participating soon.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Mom has a birthday this weekend. Katy wants to get her a bone basket, but Dad said no. He did indicate we might get bones if we behave to celebrate her birthday though. We still have time to come up with a great gift, but time is running out. It is so hard to know what to get.

The fourth of July was so fun. We had one of our favorite people stay over and spend the holiday with us. The rain delayed the start of the parade, stopped and only resumed at the very end of the parade, so Mom and Dad were happy to get to see it. We stayed home and practiced for the Olympic events.

We think this is one of our best synchronized sleeping shots yet. We are so excited that we can start entering photographs for the Blogville Olympics on July 9th!!

Fourth of July Plans

So what are your plans for the 4th of July?

One of our favorite people is staying over tonight to attend the parade with Mom and Dad tomorrow. Her town starts early and she would be blocked in if she did not escape tonight. It just means we have more time with her.

I used to go to the parade, but the muskets and the fire engines are too scary for Katy, so I stay home and protect her from the illegal fire crackers. Does anyone think fire engines have gotten louder? Just asking. They didn't seem so loud when I was a puppy.

Dad promises lots of dog time when they get back and more family coming for a cookout. So while we will miss out on the parade, there will be plenty of family time after.

Hope you all have a safe and happy 4th of July.

Are You Busy Training for the Blogville Olympics?

Are you hard at work training for the Olympic events? We think the sleeping events are going to be our strongest. We are struggling with getting our opening and closing photographs. For some reason when one of us is sitting the other seems to want to flop down or stand up. For the standing photograph, well you get the idea. Perhaps as the deadline approaches we will find our inspiration.

You will be able to start sending in photographs soon. You can start emailing photographs to the event hosts on July 9th. We have a post here that lists the specific blog posts for the Blogville events so you can find all the information you need to know. Mama has not received all the info on the cat events so she has not been able to add those yet.

We are hosting the Squirrel hurdles and are looking forward to meeting all the contestants. You can find details to register for our event here.
