Hi guys and gals,
These are some photos I took at the 2009 Buda, TX Dachshund Races (the theme: Wienerdog Millionaire. I had to buy a t-shirt). That's right, races for dogs with unusually long bodies and short stubby legs - hard to believe, but it's true!
Actually the races were only one (very fun) part of the whole event; there was also a costume contest (see above), bake- & cook-offs, and all of the dachshund souvenir shops that you could imagine.
Owning two dachshunds ourselves, we had to go. I'm pretty sure
I only put my camera down when Matt batted it away from me (okay, I'm a little bit kidding). But seriously, it was probably the cutest thing I've ever seen.
And, one of our dogs even participated in a race! Below are the highlights of Snippet's race - he was a little confused at first, but as you can see, he took off running soon enough. No first place medals, but we are proud doggie parents anyway.
All in all, it was a fantastic weekend!
Snippet's all ready to go...
...run, Snip, run!
And, not to be left out, our other pup, Bella.
She seems to be laughing as Snippet hits her with his tail
- easily amused, I guess :)

How much fun. I loved getting a dog's eye view of the Buda Races.
