Peekaboo and Pester spend most of their time out on the back porch to
enjoy the fresh air in their daily 'romps'. I do bring them inside
where it is cool in those overly warm days where they have a very
high body temp to begin with.

Yet inside they have taken to compete in the Olympic Sleeping Event
which of course requires many many hours of intense training. And both
of these little guys are doing exactly that.

The hard part is to referee these feisty little critters. As they lay
there exposing those massive incredibly rippling sleep muscles they
tend to run interference with the other.

Usually this will be done by sleeping curled up against another or
balled up in a corner trying to out sleep the other. But this massive
breathing from all the sleep effort flags me to call a foul where I
will stop one and issue some TLC and petting. That stops the gnashing
of teeth and ripping claw action of the Olympic Sleep event practice.

So far there have been no injuries, has been close but nothing so far.
So far the worst has been from Peekaboo who remained sleeping when I
picked her up from the porch and carried her to the family room and
placed her in the cage. She didn't know a thing until she woke up and
found herself indoors, but she got the extra points for that round
beating Pester by a large margin.

So my money is on Peekaboo for winning the event.
