I meant to post on this before now, but oh well. A few weekends ago, we went to the Buda Weiner Dog Races. Since I have grown up with dachshunds, I definately have a soft spot for this breed. So, naturally, I was really excited about going to watch these races. My mom went years ago and took my childhood pup, Bobby, but I don't remember if she entered him or if he just went along for the ride. Anyway, I didn't enter Roxie in the races, I just wanted to watch to see how it all went down. I think I may enter her in them next year.
It was alot of fun to watch. The race that I especially liked was the one where a particular dog came in last and before I realized why, everyone was clapping and cheering really loud for the little guy. When it grabbed my attention, I looked over and there was this little dachshund that had been paralyzed and was racing in his wheelchair. His hind legs were the ones paralyzed and he just walked on his front two. Obviously, he came in last, but he was a trooper and was precious to watch. In a way, the whole thing is really funny- especially to non-dachshund owners, but dachshund owners are really loyal to the breed. So I guess it was kind of like a family affair. Anthony didn't appreciate it very much because I drug him away during the pro football draft. Anyways, it was fun... just thought I'd share!

That is so cute! I bet it was fun to watch. On the cover of the AJ in October they had a picture of a daschund that was a "hot dog" He had two buns around each side of his stomach. It was hillarious! I'm going to dress Frank up like that for Halloween this year.
Weiner Wars...that's hillarious. I saw "Over the Hedge" tonight. It was a good flick, think you'd like it. It's good to hear from you. I looked at Austin ISD for jobs, but there was only one and it was for elementary. I heard AISD is hard to get into : (. Anyhoo, still on the job hunt. Congratulations on the new house. That must be exciting. Love you, cuz.
Hmm I love the idea behind this website, very unique.
