Best of Levi Sleeping Award

Mom and Dad went to a family day picnic today. They had all kinds of entertainment for kids and grandkids, which Mom and Dad don't have but they always go anyway. Among the activities was a clown show, a balloon artist, dunking booth, fish pond and Mom's favorite, a cake walk.

Mom has fond memories of cake walks going back over sixty years to her pre-school days when she won a cake at her very first cake walk. It was a strawberry angel food cake made from scratch and it was decorated with whipped cream and juicy red berries. The cake walk was a popular custom at the weddings of her youth. Mom walked the cake walk a dollar's worth today---four times with 2008 rates---and she told Dad, "Some traditions die hard when you have such vivid memories of the first time you ever won a prize." That got me to thinking about poor Levi not placing in the medal at the Paw-limpics today. Every puppy can't win every contest they entry but they should have a good memory of their very first contest. So I want to create one for my baby brother.

Levi sent in several photos for the sleeping category at the Pal-limpics and the judges picked the first one below to go up against all the other dogs who entered. Did they get the best photo of Levi sleeping? I'm asking all our friends in cyberspace to vote between the four below so I can present Levi with his very own prize. Silly, I know, but he'll be so happy when one of his photos wins this Best of Levi Sleeping Award that he'll forget all about not winning metal at the Paw-limpics. Vote in the comment section!

Levi and the Pawlimpics

Anyone there? It's Schnauzer Saturday and Levi gets to blog again.

Guess what! Me...I'm going to be in the Pawlimpics! Just one more day and my event (singles sleeping) will be posted and judged. Moomie says not to get my hopes up for winning because her camera is a dimeasore. Dinosaur. Poopy spelling! Does it really, really, really matter if it's dimeasore or dinosaur? Levi doesn't even know what dinosaurs are. Big book---dictionary---say dinosaurs are 'extinct.' That was no help because I didn't know what 'extinct' is. So I looked THAT up and it says it means no longer on earth. But my daady has Sinclair dinosaurs in his collector space case and Moomie's has her dinosaur camera. I am so confused! Maybe dictionary doesn't know they came to our house to live?

Why does the dinosaur camera want me to lose anyway? I sleep good. I sleep cute. That's why Levi gets to be in the Pawlimpics. I hope the dinosaurs don't eat my picture before tomorrow. Then you can't vote for me at the doggies choice awards. Moomie cautioned me to remember that all puppies sleep good and are cute doing it. "You need to develop some majesty...modesty and manners," she told me about being a contesting contestant. Or was it the angel voice in my head that said that? Me not sure anymore who told me to get modesty and manners. Levi better look up 'modesty' and 'manners' in the dictionary so I know what THEY look like when I find them.

Smell you later.

Love, Levi
