Woolympics Event #4

Today is the final night of the Winter Olympics and that means it's time for the final event of the SKW Woolympics. Before we get to the final matchup, it's time for the medal ceremony for the last event, Fast Eating. This event wasn't even close! Steve ran away with it to win his first gold medal of these Woolympic games. Kat won the silver and Wilbur won the bronze.And now for the medal count.Our final event of the games is the leash walking event. Now you might think that it's totally unfair for Wilbur to complete in proper leash walking, but until recently, Steve and Kat were also incapable of properly walking on a leash. So without further ado, the leash walking event!

Editor's comments: This video is longer because we wanted to leave in the post-event wrestling matches and also doesn't feature the Woolympics theme music so that we could also have a secondary event with Steve and Kat of who made the most noise while the other was competing.

Voting will be open until Wednesday!

Furry 5k

We went to the Furry 5K on Sunday. It was pretty fun. We had a hard time finding a parking spot, so Steve and I were all wound up by the time we got out of the car, as visible in this video.

The Furry 5K is in a park along Lake Washington. Apparently dogs aren't supposed to get in the lake at the park so this police officer had to tell everyone, "Your dog can get a drink but it can't set one paw into the lake." So we took our picture instead. Mom felt bad for the officer because she had to pretty much tell a constant stream of people to keep their dog out of the lake.

There were tons of dogs and humans at the Furry 5K. Mom took this video at the starting line.

I was pretty pooped on the way home!

I can't wait for the Furry 5K next year!

Walking for the Iditawalk

We just finished our 1049 minutes of walking for the Iditawalk last night! We really enjoyed the walking and running and I think we've got a new routine. Every day when Mom and Dad get home from work, Kat and I get our of our crate and run outside to potty, then we come inside and I bounce around while Mom and Dad change their clothes and put their shoes on. Sometimes I can't even calm down to put my leash on. Mom says I'm like Tigger and just bounce around all over the place. I have some videos to show you soon.

Then we get outside and Dad makes us stand in the street while he waits for a GPS signal on his iPhone.

I like to laugh at Kat while she stands around.

Then we are ready to go. You can see in this picture that Dad and Mom have walking belts and we just pull them down the street!

It's a lot of fun and I'm so glad we go into the Iditawalk!

Iditawalking

We are participating in the Iditawalk this year.  It's where we walk 30 minutes per day until we have walked 1049 minutes, one minute for every mile of the Iditarod.  We have been featured a couple times on the Team Sibermal blog.  Check out the link in our sidebar.

Steve doesn't like his Gentle Leader, so Mom bought him an Easy Walk Harness.  He wore it for the first time today.  He looked like a total goof ball.  I tried to pretend that I didn't know him and Mom was giggling so much, she could barely talk, as you can hear in this video.

Later on during the walk, Dad stopped to adjust Steve's harness and I took a roll in the grass.  Mom says I was messing with my Gentle Leader, but honestly, I was just taking a break and most definitely not trying to take off my GL.
Happy Monday!
