The evening wild pants are starting to come out now that it gets dark later. Mom isn’t all that happy as we get totally wound up right before we are supposed to go to bed, but she doesn’t have the heart to stop our fun.
Nelson and I chase and wrestle non-stop until Mom forces us to come back inside. It takes us a while to settle down, but then we crash really hard. I even snore, but Nelson doesn’t snore at all.
Next Friday is our first FastCAT of the year, Nelson’s first one ever. I told him we need to really practice our running so we can get some fast times. He better not be faster than I am, but I guess we will find out next weekend who is speedier.
Running and chasing is fun, but stopping to do some wrestling is a lot of fun too. We love to tackle each other and roll around in the yard. I may be faster, but Nelson is a lot stronger and bigger than I am which is a disadvantage in wrestling.
The evening wild pants always include some racing around the pine trees. Some of the branches are broken off and Nelson enjoyed some prancing with a branch for a while.
Here I broke away from the little guy and as I was making my turn, I realized he was headed right at me. Thankfully, we didn’t have a collision.
After a lot of chasing, racing and wrestling, we are ready to head inside. Mom calls us and offers up some bedtime snacks as an incentive. Both of us race full speed back into the house. We are definitely making the most of the yard right now.
We are joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard for their Nature Friday blog hop.
The two of you look so happy racing around in your yard!
We are the crazy youngsters at our house and we have a lot of fun!
oooh we cross our paws for the fastcat event… and we are sure there is a ribbon or a trophy for you
We hope Nelson can get his BCAT, but we have to see how he runs first.
Evening wild pants….I am giggling at that phrase and those wonderful photos.

Thank you. We have a lot of wild pants around here!
What happiness to run around in the evening! You are just getting some leftover energy out, so you can sleep!
We have trouble settling down, but when we do, we are out cold!
The Zs would love running around with you two!! They love to wrestle, chase, body slam, and roll in the weeds with each other too. And, with Zoey big enough now to hold her own, it’s fun to watch them having so much fun together.
It’s really fun having a playmate in the house. Glad your two have fun together.
You guys are lucky to have one another! It’s so much fun to watch you run around in your yard b
We do have a lot of fun. Sometimes Mom says we have more fun than is allowed, but we don’t think so.
Playmates are always fun to have. I see you are both doing some serious warm-ups and body building stamina for FCAT. Cros your paws, Olivia – Nelson may start stealing your advantage!
I think he is too heavy to beat me. I’m light as a feather and lightening fast. Maybe one day when I’m older I will slow down. I guess it will all come out next weekend.
WOW, that was some run n’ romp actions, I think I’m ready for a nap now!
We sleep quite well, both napping and at night.
Looks like good ole fashioned backyard fun!
It is the same kind of fun we seem to have every summer on a nice evening.
Practice makes perfect! We bet both of you do great next week!
xoxo,
Rosy and Sunny
We hope it will be a fast weekend. Since Nelson is new at the sport, we will see how he does with it.
It looks like so much fun! Yes, Nelson, being a boy, just might turn out to be the fastest. Genetics makes males a bit bigger, stronger and speedier than females in most species, it’s just how it works.
It is going to be interesting. I am hoping that his being heavier slows him down. In the yard I am definitely faster but at FastCAT? We will find out.
