Weekend Wiener Wrap-Up!

For those Dachshund Dads who relaxed at home on Father's Day, here's a weekend wiener wrap-up so you can see all the fun you missed. It's a beautiful Monday, June 22nd, 2009. Above, we can't let such a nice logo go unnoticed, and while we can't find any pics or recaps of the event, suffice to say that there was a Dachshund Derby at Kidtopia Park in Texarkana, Texas, on Saturday. There were also contests for Obedience, Best Dressed and Best Weenie Dog Kiss. We love kisses. Source.

Well Howdy Pardner! Meet 8-month-old red smooth 'Sophie,' and her human Randel Facemyre of Belle, West Virginia. Sophie is dressed as a sheriff as part of the costume contest, which was a part of the Wiener Dog Races, which kicked off the 3rd Annual FestivALL in Charleston, West Virginia, on Saturday. FestivALL is a 10-day music and arts festival, and there were bands as well as an oldies car Cruise-In on Saturday. Nearly 100 Wiener Dogs competed in four categories: puppy, adult divisions I and II, and senior. Read all about it at the Charleston Gazette.

And finally, it's the winners (wieners?) of the puppy division of the 4th Annual Weiner Dog Races at Walnut Beach in Ashtabula, Ohio, on Saturday. They include (from left) Glady Francis of Ashtabula, Judy White of Ashtabula (with Rudy); Kim Croyle and Aimee Kaija (with Scooter), all of Mentor, and David and Roberta Benedict of Williamsfield Township (with Dicky). Read all about the event at the Star Beacon.

Crazy Dachshund Lovers Unite. Have a nice Monday!
