Wiener Dog Days

Well, in Buda, TX, which is just about five minutes North of where we live, they have the Wiener Dog Days Festival. Basically there are a bunch of booths where people sell homemade things and things for dogs and everybody brings their dogs of all kinds. They have wiener dog races that were a whole lot of fun to watch. We were going to put Otis and Chloe in but we had to have their papers and stuff like that, so we didn't, but if we're around next year, we are definitely going to. Chloe wouldn't win because she's kind of slow, but Otis is so ridiculously fast that he might actually have a chance. So we are excited about that. It was so cute. They basically have these cubby hole things that the dogs hang out in and then the owners will be at the other end of the "race track" with their favorite toy or whatnot and basically just entice them. It's pretty hilarious. Sometimes the dogs would start running and then get a little preoccupied with the other dogs around them, so they would start chasing the other dogs. Hilarious! We can't wait to put them in next year.

















This is a picture of Josh, Chloe and Otis just chilling, waiting for the races to start. I wish I would have taken a picture of all the people that showed up, it was ridiculous. The people in the background of the picture above is just a little taste. It was ridiculous. They also had a bunch of wiener dogs that were dressed up in all kinds of outfits.

















Otis thought it would be fun to make himself comfortable against somebody else's back...luckily they didn't mind because I don't think he would have cared at all.



















Chloe likes to hang out on dad's lap, so that's pretty much where she stayed.




















Here's a picture where you can see where the dogs hang out until they are let out. Each lane has sponsors, pretty funny.



















I almost had to sit in the back seat of the car on our way to the races. The dogs wouldn't get out of my seat, they decided to make themselves comfortable. They both ended up on my lap for the way there. They are so cute!
