Media Pass To The Puppy Olympics:

Sadly this story will be shortly sued by the Olympic police for copy right infringement.

Today was another beautiful winters day “cold” according to the locals, the boy was in flip flops (why he has chosen to wear them I can’t imagine) and refused to wear his trusted toque. So I relaxed in the comfort of a lawn chair facing into the backyard. I tried to catch a few rays in the mid day sun to no avail, my appearance remains gray and lifeless. The boy, doodled and went for a skate, seeming restless. Me, I gazed into the abyss, plotting a brainstorm.

A great distraction was the playful nature of the Puppy. After terrorizing the aloha plant and attempting to murder the chilly bush, before she bit the red fruit and had a swift lesson (swift being it needed thrice told), she invented a circuit of Olympic proportions. It went something like this; tag the lawn chair, sprint the court yard, jump the pond, avoid the chili plant. Then grab an aloha branch baton, run it between the cedar bush and fence, between the olive trees and into the long grass. Get distracted by a passing bird or fallen pine cone, become randomly frightened, chase the tail three times before its back through the olive trees squeezing the fence picking the aloha up, dropping it off by the remnants of its disembodied self.

Then the final leg, a sprint finish back to tag the chair all while avoiding the chillies. Stop the clock, what’s the time, place a bet down, for a new fastest time and off she goes again. Well, as you can see winter days are jam packed and full of surprises. For now I’m back to that sun tanning, Teacozy out!
