Final Woolympics Results

The results for the last Woolympics event, leash walking, have been tabulated and the winner is Kat! Not too much of a surprise there, but what did surprise us was that Wilbur took home the silver. Pretty good for a feline.

In the secondary event, Kat won for the loudest non-walker. If you think she was bad in that video, you'll have to listen for her in a video Mom made this weekend. We'll get that posted soon.

So the final results from the Woolympics are as follows. It's pretty amazing how we all won the same number of medals!

We also mentioned that our crate has undergone an Extreme Crate Makeover. It's a pretty remarkable change. Let's take a look at the crate before the makeover.

It was pretty bad. Some pups (no idea which ones) had chewed the bottom of the cover to shreds back in their younger days.

And here's the crate now.

Huge difference! The cover now covers all four sides and goes all the way to the floor. It can be tied up on any side. There are dowel rods (removable for washing) at the bottom of each side panel so they stay weighted down and hanging properly and the top has a pocket where Dad slid in some foam core to make the top solid so Wilbur can sleep up there. Mom made the cover, so it's customized just for us. It works out pretty well, nice and cozy.

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!

Woolympics Event #3

Our readers voted and the medals for the Laser Chasing event have been awarded.The medal count, after two events, is as follows.
It could all change today, since we are bringing you event #3, fast eating! To make it a fairer competition, we are going to publish the times, but leave the voting open so our voters can consider style points as well.

It should be noted that Wilbur's video was sped up and at the end, you see him walk away. He didn't actually finish until a few hours later.


We'll leave the voting open until Monday!

Woolympics Event #2

It's time for the second event of the SKW Woolympics. Before we get to the event, let's give out the awards from the Sitting Pretty competition. Wilbur won the gold by a pretty big margin, even though a lot of the dogs who voted were biased against cats. It was really close for the silver, with Kat winning by one vote. Steve took home the bronze.Now for the next event. This time, the Woolympics event is Laser Chasing. We apologize for the blurriness of parts of the video. The camera was focusing on the laser dot instead of on the competitor.

Please place your vote for the best in the poll on our sidebar. The athlete with the most votes will get the gold, second most will get the silver, and then the other will get the bronze. (Pretty obvious.)
