Zooming and roaching with Winnie the greyhound



Well I am shattered after taking part in yesterday's Zoomies event at Susie and Sidebite's blog. Another chance for me to show of my athletic skills. I'm just a blur, a blur, I tell you, when I start zooming.


I was SO relieved after expending all that energy that the next event was Roaching and Rolling. Thanks to the magic of Blogville, I was instantly transported to Canada to compete on Ruby and Penny's blog. I went in heat 2. I like to think my entry was a slight homage to Usain Bolt.

I am also very proud to say that my performance in Roaching ALSO won me a copy of a print called The Howl in a Twitter competition run by Dog's Today magazine. The Lady Of The House is getting it framed and I'll post a picture of it soon.

Winnie, I seem to be biased in your favor. You are just a superior athelete! Whether it's digging, zooming, roaching, walking about, you are poetry in motion. I think it's your attitude. You seem to do everything with great exuberance.

Bravo, bravo! You are a zooming champion! In my younger (and faster) days, I might have given you a run for the gold.
