Gary loves his boxes. He loves any box. If he can fit in it, he will. Gary was the first to claim rights to the new toy.

Then of course, Gilbert became interested in what Gary was doing . Please note Gilbert's attempt at being nonchalant and Gary's intense gaze at Gilbert. The battle has begun.

ROUND ONE

Gilbert rounded about to the left and behind the box. Gary was quick to stake his claim by moving into the box.

Gilbert fell back, scampered to the safety of the reclining chair to re-evaluate the situation. Gary seeing that Gilbert will try to get him from behind jumped out of the box to coordinate his attack.

Gilbert crept closer to the box. Gary intensely watched his approach.

Silence ensued as I watched with anticipation. I could hear the blood thumping in my ear drums like a second hand ticking away at a clock.

Gary, "Go ahead. Make my day."

Gilbert pounced on Gary, went for the throat! Gary shifted and squirmed to reposition his body. The 14 pounds of Gilbert fat crushed Gary into the floor!

Gary with his lightning fast reflexes squirmed out from underneath the fat beast and went for the upper cut!

ROUND TWO

Unbeknown to Gary, who was smug in his short lived victory, Gilbert was sneaking to claim the box. Please note the end of a tail behind the box. That was Gilbert executing his next phase of attack.

Gilbert jumped into the box, popped out the other side like a jack in the box to whack Gary in the face!

THE WINNER!!
Gilbert claimed the item of envy, another glorious battle won by ingenuity, youth, and a roll full of body fat. The day would be filled with peace and prosperity and a comfortable nap in the fabric box.
