CONFESSIONS OF A RACE DAY LOSER.

The day started out as a normal one. Though it had an air of excitement, for today was the Wiener Nationals at Los Alamitos. We packed up the car with all the stuff we thought we would need. I had to sit in the way-back because my brother and sister were coming with me to the race, to cheer me on and take pictures.

Ugh! We had an hour and half drive ahead of us. I hate driving in the car. So I figured I should try to close my eyes and nap.

When we finally got to the race track, we found our group some seats and got in line to sign-in. At sign-in the officials gave us our racing jersey. I was white number two, which meant we were in the second qualifier slot number 2. Because we were in the qualifiers we ran before any of the televised races started. We had to win our race to get in the official trials.

Before we had to line up for the race, my parents took me out to the grass so I could relieve myself. They wanted me to have my mind clear. I peed, but I was too anxious to concentrate on what they were asking me to do. I just walked around and sniffed a bit. So we went back inside the park and got in line for the race. I was so excited that I was shaking and whining. My mom tried to get my attention with little pieces of bacon and my squeaky ball, but I just wanted to get out on the field and race. I knew what I had to do.

The moment was finally here. We walked out on the race track. The trumpet was played to announce the start of our race. We processed down the side of the track as the announcer gave out the names of racers. We were heading towards the racing boxes. My mom handed me to my dad who would place me in the starting box and my mom made her way back across the field to the finish line.

My dad lowered me into my slot and held me there. I looked out the glass port hole intently in anticipation of the door opening. I butted my head against it, In hopes I could get it to open early. I whined with anticipation. Then the door opened! I was one of the first out at least a head in front of the other dogs. I ran quickly through the deep racing dirt, straining every muscle to make it to the finish line first. I was almost there, when something dreadful happened. My stomach made an awful rumble! One that made me lose my focus and I slowed a bit. I heard my mom yell “Don't slow down you are almost there. Go! Go! Go!” I tried to redouble my speed but it was already too late. I felt mired in the thick dirt of the racing track. I ran towards my mom and went after the ball she threw to help me focus past the finish line. I got the ball then went back to find my dad. But wait! There was that awful rumble in my tummy again. I stopped and did what my mom had tried to get me to do in private before the race. I pooped. I pooped, in front of all those racing fans, there projected on the big screen! How embarrassing! I have to say my stomach felt much better but a little too late. For when all was said and done, I had come in third.

Donation Drop Off DIRECTIONS

Last year Hornblower Cruises collected thousands of blankets and towels and had hundreds of attendees with their dogs take advantage of their dogs being allowed on Harbor Cruises!

Tickets for a one hour Harbor Cruise can be used any time when you come back in 2010.

Dogs must be on a leash and are allowed to ride along on a one-hour cruise.

According to John Van Zante from HWAC, “When heavy winter rains forced Helen Woodward Animal Center to evacuate orphaned dogs and cats from their kennels the donated blankets and towels gave them comfort.” He said, “This also created an urgent need to replace those supplies that were lost during the flood. Your donation of a new or gently used blanket or towel will help to keep an orphan warm and cozy until its new family takes it to its forever home.”

Book now!
For more information about Hornblower Cruises & Events and Pet Rescue Day on the Bay, call 619-686-8700. For more information about the great work that Helen Woodward Animal Center does with animal adoptions, http://www.hornblower.com/hce/port/overview/sd+petdayonbay

I started meeting dachshunds on line because I am trying to get a walk on roll to a new movie coming out called One Lucky Dog the Movie, the more doxie friends I have the better my chances.

It has become such fun meeting other dachshunds from around the world. Sharing my favorite picks and videos and viewing theirs. I hope you become my friend! I will try to keep my post light and funny. If you want a laugh right now you should check out some of my videos I suggest "See spot Moo!". You can also check out my other doxie friends I have some from Italy, Croatia, and Chile just to name a few. It a lot of fun seeing their pictures and what their dachshunds are into.
