IT"S ALL ABOUT THE DOG!



This past weekend we went to the local Oktoberfest where my daughter Briana and her dog, a long haired dachshund named Iggy entered the the Weiner races for a bit of competition. We had no idea how Iggy would react, because he usually does a lot of barking and doesn't like a lot of people, but he did just great! He did not win his race, I think he came in 3rd, but he did get a certificate for being the "longest Doxie" in the bunch! In the end he was mostly concerned with us not taking his toy away. It is rare to get a picture of Iggy like this, he runs when he sees the camera. I lucked out on this one, I took it from the back seat because of course the dog gets the front seat.
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Love those little doxies. What a cutie pie Iggy is. Your Brianna looks so pleased. Must've been a great day.

I think that Iggy went off superbly in his first race. He looks like a dog with strong character. He deserves a place on the front of car. Most dog owners agrees with this - me too:)
Best regards to all participants of this jolly trip!
