Olympic hopeful

I has been inspired by the Olympic torch relay, that I witnessed last month to do a bit of Olympian training myself.

On your marks...

Not for running up and down the street applauded by hoards of admiring spectators - I do that every day. No, this is for two new categories of Olympic competition, strictly for us canines, namely; frisbee and hydroplaning.

Got it!

Now, regular bloggettes will know that the Hydroplane and the HoverCraft are my favourite toys (and human friend's too, cos they've lasted so long - at least a whole year - and are, therefore, 'value for money'). So I've had lots of training and am definitely Gold material.

Hovercraft

Suffice to say, I has been training hard all year for these events and can honestly say, paw on heart, that I am the best I have ever seen. Well, OK. I haven't actually seen any of my other four-legged friends actually performing the same tricks, but that's just semantics.

 So listen up Lord Coe and co. I'm Olympic ready and panting for that gold medal. Bring it on!

Take me to the river...

 

The tail of three kitties (and a dog)

Oooh! Mega excitement here at Alphapet Towers this month with the arrival of Archie Smart - a mini-version of Teddycat.

A bit of a scaredy kit...

Of course, I had already met Archie at the farm where he was born so he was kinda used to seeing me. He had six brothers and sisters, but he was the only ginger tom - as you can see.

There's one missing, but am I bovvered?

Max and Teddycat weren't too impressed and there were quite a few warning hisses going on.

 

Is that what I'm gonna look like when I grow up?

Anyway, little Archie didn't let his (un)welcoming committee trouble him and by the end of the week he was running about, sleeping on my bed, giving Max's tail some grief and sneaking out the back door.

Oi! Are you listening to me?

Blimey! Teddycat must've shrunk in the rain.

Well, he smells like a cat...

It's not easy keeping up with Max

Anyway, I was bored by day three cos it's not easy trying to chase Archie when he keeps going under the sofa. So I had a little excursion to see my Mum and a couple of my siblings (this year's models).

I've got a bigger tongue than you lot..

Then it was back home to the day job. Yowzah!
