This past weekend is the event we look forward to all year – the annual Mid-Atlantic DoxPhest! Over a thousand doxies from all over the east coast get together for fun, food and races. Rod has shown a penchant for running so we entered him into the Dachshund races.
First heat:
Won it!
Second heat:
Won it!
Third heat:
Won it again!
Championship finals:
Won it all!
Rod thoroughly enjoyed himself and ran like he was Forest Gump. He even ran right past me after one heat and went far past the finish line:
It actually took several people to help me corral him:
But Rod wasn’t embarrassed. Being chased is the best thing about the race to Rod - he’s not in it for the prizes or glory.
He does it for the love of the run.
Go, Rod, Go!
we have a gold-medal champion dachshund :)

What I love:
ReplyDelete1st heat--that other dog just out for a jog
2nd heat--Rod is so focused on the race and that other dog...isn't.
3rd hear--this is clearly the semi-finals. all the less committed athletes have been weeded out
Finals--Pepi le Pew
your drawings are always a highlight and your ponytail still does not disappoint!
how thrilled you look about Rod's prize while he snarls at someone over your shoulder
thanks amber da weenie!
ReplyDeleteoh lauren i love your comments :) i like to think rod is disgusted that he is getting a prize for something he loves to do. but he's more likely growling at someone...
You are one super cool Doxie!
