Doxie Fest
When we adopted Annie her foster mom told us about Doxie Fest. It was coming up in Sept and that she was always there. "I hope to see Annie there!" We said we'd look into it and then we decided against it. Danville is a long way away and well, we're just settling into the local Doxie scene.
Doxie Fest was Saturday and I guess it's a good thing we didn't go. It rained! And if there is one thing Annie hates is rain. But a good time was had and much awareness was raised about the need to rescue Doxies & their canine cousins from shelters:
Oh and at Target we got Annie her hot dog costume. Oh, yeah, she's rockin' Halloween this year.
Doxie Fest was Saturday and I guess it's a good thing we didn't go. It rained! And if there is one thing Annie hates is rain. But a good time was had and much awareness was raised about the need to rescue Doxies & their canine cousins from shelters:
Those events included contests for: the farthest travel to the festival — dog and owner from Washington state; most dachsies brought to the event — 13; oldest dog — 20-years-old; and everyone’s favorite, the costume parade.Looks like there will be an indoor venue for next year.
Three-year-old Maxine, a black, short-haired miniature dachshund dressed as a pirate, won the event, paws down. In her case, it was only three paws down instead of four, which her owner said inspired the pirate outfit.
“Pirate — peg leg, right?” Rhonda Curry of Louisville, Ky. said. Then she shared Maxine’s tale of rescue.
“When I first met Maxine, she was five weeks old. Her mother had chewed off part of her leg, and she was going to be put down,” Curry said. “She was the sweetest little thing. I just couldn’t let that happen.”
Oh and at Target we got Annie her hot dog costume. Oh, yeah, she's rockin' Halloween this year.
