Orders from above....

..... are saying 'Don't feed that miserable, pathetic dog!!' How could anyone refuse poor 'LadyBoy' though when she comes around so patiently (most the time) looking for leftovers and doing a good job of keeping our fridge nice and clean and meat-free! She plays the whole pathetic card so well too and if we don't immediately notice her sitting at the office door, she'll eventually let us know she's there by the odd gentle tap on the door with a paw or muffled semi-bark, if we continue to ignore or not notice her, then she'll start to get grumpy with us and turn to barking.
She's content with the scrappiest of scraps, then she'll scarper off, no doubt to the next mug who feels sorry for her and will give her more food! An hour later she'll be back at the office again and so it goes on, all season long!!! She's a little smelly, but all in all we think she's great.

The whole reason we have a 'Ladyboy' feature today is the 'Mens Downhill' got cancelled due to the weather conditions. We had around 20cm of fresh snow fall overnight and the pisteurs decided they couldn't take the snow machines to the piste as it could damage the course. Such a shame really as so many people were looking forward to it and also so much money has been spent on it. Rumours are that it could be held in Norway later in the season.
The 'Mens super-combined race' and the 'Super-combined slalom races are both still scheduled for tomorrow. The forecast is promising sun so lets hope it's correct so the races can go ahead.
