The Hazel Run Winter Olympics
ETA: Kris, there are five days of competition in this thread, with gaps in between.
Yes, the Hazel Run Winter Olympics are in full swing.
The weather was gloomy with a hint of snow... ...perfect for our first event: Leaf Hauler Sledding And here come our first (and only) contestants, Princess Lil Belle and the Hazel Run Mama! "Get back in, Lil Belle, or we'll be disqualified!!!"

"Hang on, Lil Belle! We're getting to the speedy part of the track!"
"Mom, will you and Lil Belle hurry up? You're holding up traffic! I'm missin' out on the acorns down there!" Well, okay. So maybe this isn't the most exciting sport there is...let's see if we can find another Olympic activity that offers a little more action "Brier, Ms Macie is looking for a partner in the dance contests!" "Cool! She'll love having a charming partner like me! Let's go!"

Esquire Brier found the scintillating Ms Muddy Mossy Messy Macie warming up in the Side Yard for the next day's Dance competition.
"Hey, Ms Macie! Need a partner?" "Can you dance?" "You bet!!!"

The fans of the Dancing Events gather on the side lines as practice continues.
The Dance is graceful, covering the whole arena, as is required by the Hazel Run Olympic Rules:

Sometimes the fans get carried away by the sheer excitement of it all and join in
"I'm outnumbered!" barks Ms Macie. "Practice over!" And she runs for the house...er...um...the Olympic Chalet.

Later on, as snowy dogs are getting toweled off in the "Olympic Chalet", Grace turns to the Hazel Run Mama.
"That was amazingly fun, Mom! Can we go to the Olympics again tomorrow?" "We'll see, Grace. We'll see..."

Omg your dogs have such a good life. I wish I had such a big back yard to play with Dracko in. I think he'd like to be in the Olympics, too.

Hey, we're always looking for new participants in the Hazel Run Winter Olympics! Come on down! If Dracko can't find an existing event that suits his fancy, he can do what we do--make something up!

I can't believe that Lil Belle actually goes down the hill IN the leaf hauler with you..........that is just too cute. Do the rest of them take turns doing it as well?
And love the sweatshirt. |

Nope, Lil Belle is the only one who'll sit still in the Leaf Hauler...and lately she's been jumping in and out all the way down... One more indication of how slow the leaf hauler actually is! Occasionally, Belle or one of the others will run up the sled track and jump in the leaf hauler with all fours, landing squarely on hazel's belly. This usually results in a break in the action as hazel tries to get her breath back!
The shirt was a gift from a friend of mine a couple years ago--at the time, the six woofs matched the size of the Pack perfectly I've been unable to find one with 8 woofs on it!

I agree that "snowball catching" could be a great event!

Looks like fun hazel. Maybe Mishka and I will have to head on over to your place to take part in this Olympic event. Does the Olympic Chalet serve hot chocolate?

Well, I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying the Hazel Run Olympics. We'll maybe do another event tomorrow. Today I had to drive the 70 km into town to print December's digital pics... Since this digital camera arrived, I've been putting upwards of 200 pics a month in my albums... I'm running out of shelf space for the albums.

I think 20 some kitties would fit in fine. In the second and third pics, the building to the left is our 'kennel' building. Has heat, indoor/outdoor runs with communicating doors, and a screened in porch. Ready for immediate occupancy since the dogs never use it. If I put the dogs in the house for safety, I'll bet I could fit nearly 10 or 11 of the kitties in the leaf hauler with me on the way down the hill, too! Think they'd still be in there with me at the bottom of the hill?
FG, that pic was actually taken a couple days before the rest, but it was so cute I just had to find a spot in the story to show it off.

That would be acceptable, too, 14+! Then you can take them down the hill when they think they wanna try it!
