I’m a big fan of the Olympic games and summer or winter, I watch from start to finish. I know the winter games are over, but I couldn’t resist this.
Today, to honor the greyt achievements of the greyhounds in Regan’s Zoo I’m awarding gold, silver, and bronze medals to the dogs in the following categories:
Snuggling – for best sharing of the couch:
Boo takes the gold,
Bandit the silver (he doesn’t ever try to steal the couch)
and Brody gets bronze, because he feels couches are for retirees only.
Ability to compact oneself when necessary (like sharing the couch or bed):
Gold goes to Boo (who frequently curls up so tight it supports her delusion that she’s really a teacup chihuahua),
Brody moves to silver because he will curl enough to share a couch with Boo or a human when he feels like amusing us,
and Bandit gets the bronze because he’s too young to have mastered the fine art of making himself small.
Running
Gold here must go to Bandit. Tall, fast, and talented, he would’ve been a star on the track.
Silver goes to Boo for speed, determination, and cunning.
Bronze for Brody – unless it’s a reindeer race – he’s a romper not a runner and no one should have a problem with that since he’s retired.
Vocal Talents:
Brody takes GOLD! Because he can talk, grumble and sing.
Bandit is the Silver medalist. He has a wide range, but less control. He’s working on it and will be a Gold medal threat by the summer games in London.
Bronze goes to Boo. (but she’s the winner in the more typical quiet and graceful category.
Gold Medal in Fetching goes to Bandit.
The other dogs do not compete in this category – they are retirees (in case you didn’t get the memo that means they don’t ‘work’ anymore).
And it’s a three way tie for Gold in the Telling Time competition. All of them know when it’s 7am and 5pm. Even more impressive, they know when it’s 7:05 and 5:05 and the food bowls are still empty.
And just to clarify, we only named one of our dogs, Boo, and it wasn’t just so she’d have a ‘b’ name.
Live the adventure!
