Weiner Dog Races

Last Sunday we got up bright and early to go to the 1st Annual Long Dog Races as part of Oktoberfest this year. We had been practicing with Tica in the backyard every night. We knew she would be our best bet as Gibson would run inside and hide under the bed during our practices.

Tica showed up in her wedding dress along with every dachshund in the city. Three hours later, we entered our heat of 5-10 year old dogs. Let's just say it was a bit of a comedy routine as H. woke up in the Bjorn and started screaming right as we entered the race area. Gibson was strapped in on the side and Tica didn't immediately take off because she couldn't hear David over the crowd. She managed to nab 2nd in her heat, though we didn't stay to find out the final results. Since we had 2 dogs and a baby with us, we didn't get video of her racing, so instead please enjoy these dogs.
