On Sunday morning, Yeas & Nays spotted former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his wife Joyce at the Jack Russell Terrier Races & Dachshund Dash in St. Michaels, Md.  Rumsfeld, who has two dogs of his own, told us he's lived in St. Michaels for three years and loves it there.

As of 2007, Mr. and Mrs. Rumsfeld's Wiener Dogs were 'Reggie' and 'Chester.'   Hope they had a great time.
