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.

Nothing like a good roaching session after zoomies.
Very impressive. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Well done for winning a print from the magazine. The Usain pose is brilliant :-)
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.
Winnie, you are a top notch zoomie in our eyes, fabulous race!!!
Susie & Bites
You are a CHAMP at that zoomie stuff. I could hardly follow you you were so fast.
Blessings,
Goose
It was fun competing with you in both events! You're tough competition!
