Howl-O-Weenie

This past Saturday I took Bunny to the Howl-O-Weenie picnic, an annual fundraiser put on by the Dachshund Rescue, Education, Awareness, and Mentoring (DREAM) organization. There were sure a lot of dachshunds there! Bunny made me a great costume, although it could have done with a little more forethought - my "boots" kept slipping off. Maybe if she'd spent more than 20 minutes on it.... Still, you have to give her credit for trying.

There were a lot of other dogs there in costume, but the majority weren't. We watched some great contests - the howling contest was my favorite. I thought about entering the licking contest, but there were so many distractions, I just couldn't have focused. I didn't think I stood a chance in the races, but I did hear that next year they're going to have a contest just for wheelies. I guess next September I better start hitting the treadmill.

I got a lot of attention as one of the only dogs there in a wheelchair. One lady said something disparaging about my costume (she was a Falcons fan) and then felt bad when she realized she'd insulted a handicapped dog. Honestly, lady, I expected that kind of reaction in Atlanta, no offense taken.

Apologies to my loyal readers (all 1 of you) for being so bad about posting lately. Since the move, it's been harder for me to blog because Bunny's home all the time. I do enjoy having her to cater to my whims all day, though. It's much nicer than when she would leave all the time for something called "work," whatever that is.
