Every day, when we release them from their leashes, they bolt into action. Shyla usually takes the offensive immediately. On this day, you can see the look of utter terror on Hachi's face as the snow covered Shyla lunged for him.
Ruh roh, within 30 seconds of the start, Hachi was going down.
But Shyla decided to toy with him, and she released him from near defeat.
She may have been over-confident because, soon, Hachi was on the offensive.
As the snow seems to fall from the sky every day, we are grateful for how much the dogs love it. Another 15" is due in the next day so the snow wrestling competition will continue! Thanks for the smiles, Shyla and Hachi.
And thanks to our friends down under for organizing these Olympics.
Congratulations to the worthy co-winners of the ISO-lympic Snow Wrestling championship. Well done, Hachi and Shyla, your performance was spectacular!

Perfect Winter ISO-lympics! and lovely photos, with clever captions, as always.
ReplyDeleteThat was really impressive. We were on the edge of our seats. Glad no participants were injured.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great competition between the two Brown Dogs. We forgot to enter the competition. I think the city's snow has frozen my brain. Stay warm. Gotta shovel the walks now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a match ~ I'm glad you called a draw. In dog wrestling do you have to pin down more than the shoulders? I ask because with a tail some dogs always have their tail up.
ReplyDeleteSweet William The Scot
Well done. I love your action shots and now you went for the gold and won.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. My best to your peeps. ♥
15" of snow still on they way. OMDs your brown dogs must be jumpin' with jubilation and glee.
ReplyDeleteThe snow ISO-lymics was very refreshing and invigorating and gave me a chill too. BOL BOL BOL
Hugs Cecilia
Wow, they're some real experts!
ReplyDeleteThey obviously enjoy each other's company. What fun! But 15" of snow, yikes!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat snaps, KB!
ReplyDeleteWe got snow last night, and when Piper and I went our for a walk, it started to hail! but by afternoon it was gone. Are you able to get in and out of your little greenhouse? I ordered raspberry plants this morning, and the snow was a good reminder to err on the side of caution with the shipping date - I asked for the last week of May.
Very exciting wrestling matches!!! Nice to have these great sporting events since all other sports are banned. Leave it to the pets to keep us entertained:)
ReplyDelete15 MORE inches of snow??? SeriouslY?? Better there than here.
We are getting some snow right now too, but we won't get your amount, thankfully! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat job by Shyla and Hachi...gold medals all around!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you participated. (we got snow yesterday but it is melting today)

They will have to share the Gold Medal for this Olympic event. Probably not held down under.
ReplyDeleteSnow wrestling is an amazing event. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYour event gets TWO gold medals, one for each of the canine wrestlers. Wonderful footage of the match.

ReplyDeleteWhat pawsome snow wrestling!!

We are a bit jealous of all the snow you have. Snow wrestling is one of our favorite sports too. This winter we didn't get many large snow falls to have such a big cushion of snow to wrestle in. You two both deserve gold medals today.
ReplyDeleteYou should hire Jack Buck so he can announce this awesome event.
ReplyDeleteOMD, that is the bestest competition I have ever seen in a Blogville Olympics!!! It was down to the last bitey face fursure!! BOL!!! I thinks it's a tie....BOTH of you deserve GOLD MEDALS!!!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
Awesome snow wrestling. We just love wrestling anytime, anywhere, but snow wrestling is something special. How lucky for you getting another load of snow! Ours from Easter is already gone.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, keep romping!
ReplyDeleteOh my lord- laughed out loud at photos and narration! I agree - a gold medal tie!
ReplyDeleteAnd 15 more inches today - we are wild with envy!
