Dachshund Picnic '09

Today was the 5th annual dachsie picnic at Henry Horton State Park. The rain actually held off until 2:30 and it was a gorgeous day! Lucy had a lot of support for the dachshund derby. I have a video of her strong attempt at winning.

My Aunt Liz on the left and my moms BFF Gwen were sweet enough to come with us.

This year I thought Lucy might have a chance in the oldest dachshund contest, so I entered her. Yeah, she was the youngest of the old dogs! The winner was 16! I hope I have Lucy that long.

They always have raffle tickets you can buy for some really cute baskets with anything from dog treats to human treats. I actually won this year. Of course it had to be the most fattening thing there. A huge basket of organic cookies and cakes.

Just had to add this pic of Bear. These are the mats we put down for our exercise equipment. This one popped up and he thought we did it just for him!


Lucy finished next to last this year, which was better than last year. Mom did great with the video. Watch for Lucy, she's in the middle.

That video is hilarious! Her little tail wagging. Carter was watching it with me and he said, "her crazy".
