We are so excited about the Blogville Olympics!!! Here is a picture of us practicing for the Parade of Athletes.

Getting in the Spirit of the Blogville Olympics!!!

We are getting in the spirit of the upcoming Blogville Olympics 2012. 

Mommy's brother-in-law is super smart and made us a Team Flag.  

Mommy was telling him how we will would like to have a flag or balloons or something for the picture of the Opening Ceremony -- and he said he could make us a flag. 

Mommy said --- oh you don't have to,  she was just going to print something out on plain paper to use as a flag -- but he said he really wanted to try to print a flag.   He bought this special printer, paper, etc.. and knows how to make some personalized items (like keychains, mousepads, and stuff) and has been wanting to test making a flag.   He bought the supplies, and he just couldn't figure out what to make to test out the flag.   So, we said, OK, we would love to have a real flag for our Opening Ceremony picture!

 Step 1 - Mommy made a jpeg file on the computer using the Blogville Olympic logo and our names.  Then Mommy's brother-in-law printed it on special paper on his fancy printer.

 Step 2 - Mommy showed us the picture on the paper -- and we said -- Mommy that picture is backwards or something!   Mommy's brother-in-law said, he has to print a mirror image of the picture in order to stick it on the flag so it looks the right way after it's done.  (Sounded very confusing.)

 Step 3 -- Mommy tried to lay the print outs on the flag -- but she couldn't tell which way was up and which way was down or how it was supposed to go on the flag.

 Step 4 - Mommy's brother-in-law figured it out -- and printed it the right way! Here he is showing us the flag as soon as it came off the heat press.   Thank you so much Mommy's brother-in-law, it looks pawsome!!! 

He even had a stick for it too -- nice!!!  Mommy has been waving it silly...practically non-stop... at least she is making a cool breeze by waving it, it's been so hot outside lately!)

Step 5 - Mommy wanted us to show off our flag -- but the camera keeps snapping the picture at the wrong time -- it's like a delayed reaction! So we will try again later to snap a better picture!

Ohh, and I don't know if you can tell, but us dogs are NAKED in this picture!!! We got our baths and Mommy didn't put our collars on yet!    Mommy realized afterwards that we were naked, so I guess she should wait until we have our collars on to do our official Olympic pictures anyway!

Have a great weekend everyone!  We will be practicing all weekend long. We can't wait until the Olympics -- it's going to be fun! 

There's still time for pets to enter the Blogville Olympics. Visit our friends Bailey and Katy for the entire list of Blogville Olympic Events with links to all of the events and details about the games.   http://sheltietimes.blogspot.com/2012/06/blogville-olympics-where-to-find-events.html

P.S.  Do you know we even have Mommy answering the telephone in Blogville Olympic mode too!   (When she sees her brother or sister's telephone number on the caller id --- she says.... Lassiter Chase and Benjamin's Blogville Olympics Training Headquarters, how may I help you....)   Mommy is so silly sometimes!!!
