2006 Olympic Showdown: Baxter vs. Bode

Image hosting by Photobucket

Last night, I realized that in the 2006 Olympics, my dog has as many medals as Bode Miller. Now don't get down on Baxter, to her credit she hasn't been allowed to compete. Bode on the other hand has had four chances. He has a fifth and could break the tie, leaving Baxter to chew on some rawhide, wag her tail and contemplate "what could have been?" The "Join Baxter" campaign could have been awesome.

Let's go to the tale of the tape.
