Based on the low number of posts, I'm starting a voice vote for
26g cf4s cf3x Dg4w Ee4n Ee5w.
I'll count me, Adanac, and Hippo. chessandgo has to vote again since other information has been posted since he last wrote. I realize jdb may still have comments in favor of the dog push (or Sconibulus and the cat capture with a horse pull), so he or anybody else is encouraged to stop the voice vote if he thinks it's premature. 6 votes total, without objections, and I'll make the move. If we don't get the votes, I'll start a formal vote Thursday afternoon.

26g Ee4n Ee5w dc5s Ed5w
26s ed6s ed5s dc4w ed4e
and we have to hurry the cat capture; feels worse than 26g Ee4n Ee5w cf4s cf3x Dg4w where we have the impetus with the threats (and silver's elephant is less active), while silver has it in the above variation.
With weak silver rabbits on both sides, I think retaining initiative is very important and might be rewarded with a quick rabbit capture.

Yeah, looking at the board again, I see that as holey as the board looks, there's really no way to slip through anytime soon. Count me in favor of 26g cf4s cf3x Dg4w Ee4n Ee5w.
