Crab Races

Ever go to a cheesy beach resort town where they race crabs down a little track in the bar? And the patrons all bet on which of the little sand crabs will reach the finish line first? C'mon, we've all bet on these races, right? Oddly, there's no such thing at Claudio's, but maybe with the souring economy Bill Claudio will debut these events for the summer of 2009. Excuse my digression, but you need this setup to understand the video below.

At one end of his crib, I set up four of his favorite stuffed animals: Boomer the black lab, Froggie the green frog, the Groundhog (same thing as a chipmunk, right?) and Peter the Rabbit. At this point, bets are set and finalized. We stuck Max at the other end of the crib and whichever animal he grabs first, wins. As you can see in this video, the smart money is always, always on Boomer, the black lab.
