Champions

Saturday we could be found at the Wienner and Wannabe Dash in Alma, Ar. It was an event to benefit a local charity that helps dogs of all kinds. They started off with a costume parade where the dogs in costumes were judged. I know there were over twenty dogs and the costumes were great.
First place went to our own Harley.
Then the races started. Seven dogs in each heat and four dachshund heats followed by a wannabe race for the other dogs. Dixie ran in the first heat and came in second so she qualified for the final race. Then went second heat. Oscar was in the third heat. Honestly, I just entered Oscar so he'd get some extra exercise.  He's a little chubby and doesn't run very often. A train came by just before his race and he couldn't get to me fast enough. He qualified for the final race too. I am so proud of him. Up next was Loki, he had never run in a race with so many dogs and especially not in front of a crowd. First place for Loki.  All three of our runners were in the final race. Dixie came in third. No train to help Oscar this time. Personally, I don't think Loki had enough time to recover from his prior race. All in all an exciting day.
