We've got mail!

Back during the Olympics, our neighbor, Winston, sent us this really cool Vancouver post card. Mom has not been good at getting our pictures off the camera, but she did today, so you can check out the post card.

Here's a close-up of the front. That is the north shore of Vancouver in the picture.

And here's the cool message Winston wrote to us.

It's kind of hard to read in the picture but it says:

"Hi Guys,

Greetings from Vancouver. The North Shore area has the best off leash park that I go to lots. It is right on the ocean so there is lots of beach play.

Luv,

Winston"

Thanks Winston! We love getting mail!

Steve and Kat do Vancouver

We will post the results of our laser chasing Woolympic event tomorrow, but for today, we are going to show you how the Woolympics met the Olympics!

Mom and Dad heard that one of Mom's favorite shows, The Colbert Report, was doing a filming in Vancouver. Mom convinced Dad that they should go and then she convinced him that we should go too!

We had to get up really early to hit the road. Mom was a little nervous about crossing the border with us, but it all went well. In fact, the Canadian border patrol lady had her own husky at home!

Once we got to Vancouver, we headed straight to the park where The Colbert Report taping was supposed to take place. It was in a park and boy, the park was muddy! Steve and I got really muddy and so did Mom and Dad's shoes and pants. (So the pants could be from us stepping on them.) We had to wait for quite a while for the show to start.

Waiting...

Waiting...

And more waiting!

Finally the show started. This picture is proof that we were there because you can see the stage in the background. During this picture, Stephen Colbert was interviewing Bob Costas.

This is what we mostly did during the taping.

After the TV taping, we headed off to find the Winter Olympics flame. On the way we stopped for a family picture. Steve thinks he did a particularly good job in this picture.

We kept walking and walking, stopping for a picture along the way to document where we were.

Finally we got to the Olympic Flame. It was packed with people, so we didn't try to get too close. Tons of people asked to take our picture, including some people with Korean broadcasting badges. Maybe we are famous in Korea? Anyway, here is our picture with the torch in the background. It's hard to tell that it's on fire, but I promise, it was.

When we got back in the car to go home, boy, we were so tired. Not only did we walk around for about 6 miles, but we had to concentrate on being good for the entire day since we were surrounded by people the whole day. Now, I know you probably think we are just naturally good, and we are, but we still have to think extra hard about being good when there are so many distractions.

Thanks for sharing our Olympic fun with us. Stay tuned tomorrow for the next Woolympic fun!

New Olympic Sport

Mom has been watching the US Olympic Trials. That's where all the American athletes try to get on the US Olympic team. Lately Mom has been watching swimming and that gave me an idea. Humans compete in synchronized swimming, but about synchronized sleeping? It's even more difficult because you're asleep and don't know exactly what your body is doing or if you've got a paw out of sync with your partner. You really have to trust your instincts in synchronized sleeping.

Steve and I have formed a team and are practicing. I think it's too late to get synchronized sleeping into the Beijing Olympics, but we are practicing for the next Olympics. I think this should be in the winter Olympics so there will be snow, so we've got two years to get the Olympic committee on board!

PS. We added a Blogathon pledge counter to the right side of our blog. That way you can keep up!
