NBC5.com reporting from the Nevada State Fair:
“The dachshund 50-foot sprint is an annual event. This year, there were so many entries that sponsors held a trial heat before the finals. Once they separated the dogs from the puppies, the real racing began.”
They’re off!
“The winner got $250 and a trip for two — which includes the wiener — to San Diego to compete in the national finals.”
I’d add something here, but sometimes, you just can’t improve on the original.
I’m looking forward to the hurdles event.
The majesty of the aerodynamically shaped racing dachshunds, barely clearing the broomsticks laid on the ground, their heads intent on the mechanical vole.
Poetry. Magic.
My dream is to go to the annual running of the wieners in Buda, Texas. I’d love to buy one for myself but here they are yappy.
