I am pleased to invite you to participate in the 2008 Summer DWB Paw-Limpics!In honor of the people Olympics in August, I will be hosting our own DWB games to promote global peace and friendship.
The Paw-Limpics will be a photo contest, and you may enter as many events as you would like. The way to enter is to email your picture of you participating in the event to pawlimpics (at) gmail (dot) com. Teams are allowed for events as well.
The events:
Aquatics - swimming, diving
High Jump
Hurdles
Track (running)
Wrestling
Gymnastics
Synchronized swimming or other activity
Any kind of ball game
Boating
Pee Mail
Roaching
Sleeping
Making a mess
So for instance, an entry to an event might be something like this picture of me and Rosie, doing our synchronized napping routine. This photo would also qualify for the Sleeping event. You might submit a photo of you at Agility class for the hurdles or high jump categories, for example.You are invited to create your own event as well to propose to the Paw-Limpics Committee. When events are added, they will be announced on the blog.
The rules:
1. No doping.
2. There will be separate categories for original photographs, and photographs that have had some human/computer editing and assistance (i.e. Photoshop)
3. You must indicate which event you are entering when you submit your picture.
4. You are allowed to participate in multiple events, but please send only one entry per event. You may submit one photo to several different events if it fits into the category.
5. Everyone from Dogs With Blogs is invited! And photos taken of you a long time ago are allowed.
6. Please send submissions and any questions to pawlimpics (at) gmail (dot) com.
7. The deadline for submissions is July 31st. Winners will be announced during the human Olympic games, which begin on August 8th.
8. If your photo wins, it will be featured on my blog.
9. Be creative!
There will be a Paw-Limpics Bone (instead of a torch) Relay around the world in preparation for the Games. Please let me know if you are interested in being a part of the relay.
The Olympics motto is "Citius, Altius, Fortius." The Paw-Limpics translation is Louder, Furrier, Droolier.
I can't wait to see your submissions!

Lenny,
What about barking? That's what we do best!!! Have you thought about a barking competition?????
Anyway, we think this is a very cool idea and we will be choosing what events to enter in.
And we think the BONE RELAY should definitely pass through South Florida, so we hope you will consider us for that honor.
Jake and Just Harry
This is a great idea, Lenny! We can't wait to participate!

Hi lenny
YOu know that, We have spoken about your idea in our blog, for the friends who do not speak english. And one of our Spanish colleagues asks if the Olimpic Games is alone for the dogs or also for cats??? Already you know that many of us we live with colleagues through cats. That I answer him??

Len..
What a grantablous idea!!! We will all participate here. We'll participate in the torch event!
WHAT FUN
What a fabulous idea. I reckon we'd be in with a chance in the 'making a mess' event. I'll get Penny practising.
Just got in. Woof! Please let the torch pass the Philippines and I will be holding it!!! The houndsinheaven will compete in sleeping, peeing, messing around . . . wait, singing and barking included?
Hey Lenny,
Found your blog through my friend Stella, and I'm totally into doing the Paw-limpics! However, my blog was rejected by DWB cause I say bad words sometimes. Can I enter the Paw-limpics anyway?
C-ya,
Murphy Dogg
LENNY!
We got 8 dogs and 3 cats but that cats don't want to do a bone relay, they say they'll do a fish relay but no bones. Us other 8 dogs will help do the bone relay but don't count on the bone being available for relay once Shiloh gets a hold of it.

Great idea, Lenny! I'm going to compete in multiple events: soccer, frisbee and keep away!
Awesome! Count us in. We have aquatics and jumping pics in mind to enter.
Hi Lenny, we are so excited about the Paw-limpics. We will make sure to send in some pictures of Amy for the various events. Awesome idea!

WOW - what a great idea!!! And no one would have to go to pollution Beijing, hahahahahahahah!

Can cats enter???

Hey Lenny, how's the bone relay going? (if you need anyone to chew the bone here in Sydney, please remember me!) I can't wait to see all of the entries - this is more exciting that those silly human games!!!
