In an undisclosed location, somewhere between Florida and Siberia, the event of the year is about to begin. The honorary, Frankie Furter, Mayor of Blogville, will officiate. Chief of Police, Sarge, and his loyal Deputy, Zona, have surveyed the course and removed all contraband.
Mayor Furter has promised that these contrabanditems will be held in his possession until the guilty parties are located. Um, I'm glad I'm not one of those guys!
The mayor lays down the law before the race. "Listen up, we are going to have a good, clean race. Everybody play nice and no monkey business. Any questions?"
What if I have to go potty during the race, Frankie?
This is going to be easier than I thought! I almost feel guilty!
Coats are for little girls.
Sure hopes Pip don't wet himself in his purty coat. Bawhahahaha, I kills myself.
Listen short stack, you want to talk some trash, I can talk some trash.
Zip it Roo Roo, before I stuffs a Cheeto in your whistle.
Meanwhile ...
As I cross the finish line, nobody seems to notice. Frankie is the only one there. So, I find that I have to ask. "Where's Pip, Frankie?"
"Not back yet ..."
"Geez, I didn't want to win like this ...poor Pip, the snow must have been too much for him. Listen, Frankie, you never saw me, understand!"
"You, Bunny, nope, never saw you."
"Help, I have fallen and I can't get up!"
" I am coming, Pip, hang on!"
"Save yourself, Bunny! I can't make it!"
"Nonsense, give me your paw! We are going to finish this race together or not at all!"
Well done Bunny and Pip! You both did brilliant! I think you both disereve sme cheetos!
ReplyDeleteOk first due to Bunny and Pip. That was some great sportsmanship from both of you.
ReplyDeleteBut Bravo to the editor. I loved the videos. I loved the cheers. I loved the music. And it's so beautiful to watch a greyhound run (and a terrier do whatever it is that terriers do--shuffle? or shimmy?).
Bunny you were just a blur! I'm sure that has nothin to do with me drinkin some of Puddles beer stash ;)
ReplyDeletePssssst...I hid her laundry basket so there'd be plenty just for us :D Nothin like a cold beer to go with a hot tub and yeah I'm callin the masseuse now ;)

ReplyDeleteSo many emotions in today's race that I can barely catch my breath! First, I was laughing as I listened to the sound effects and then I was nervous when Pip fell in the hole and then I was in near-tears when the Bunny said she wouldn't go on without Pip! My goodness, this was a great race! So nice that the 2 of you met and are friends til the end!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I loved your caption on my Silly Saturday Photo Caption Contest!

Pawesome!! I was SO hoping for a tie! Excellent race guys! I loved the Chariots of Fire music. Perfecto! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteIf only the rest of the sporting world was so sportsmanlike! And while Pip might have the edge on stuffed-toy cuteness, I don't think there is anything more graceful than Bunny in motion! Beautiful video - and thanks for the simulcast!
ReplyDeleteThe sporting event of the weekend without a doubt.
ReplyDeleteWell done to both of you and everyone who helped. And the coverage was great.
I was on the edge of my seat. It was the best result there could be in the end.

You are right! Nothing is better and greater than our friends.

We read about your older sister TREAT. It was a very touching story. Thanks to your mom for sharing:)
We can see how very special Treat was:) and will always be..:)
