Hi, this is Laura Schumm, Asher's mom. Asher had a wonderful time at the Wiener 100 and just enjoyed being with all of his dachshund friends. Thanks for posting this article. If anyone needs help with a dachshund of their own, the website for the wheelchairs is www.dogstogo.net. Laurie and Larry are really helpful.
