Wiener dog races

I am told this is a new popular thing: racing dachshunds (wiener dogs). This weekend there was a series of races outside of the German Club in Regina. I think it was more of an excuse to sell pretzels and set up a petting zoo with goats and a pony, as the "race" had only the vaguest of rules and consisted of two lines drawn on the road. The running technique might even include the owners running out into the "track" to chase or catch the dogs. Other leased dogs are in the vicinity as distractions. It was what a show. William decided that it was too warm for a jacket, so that limited how long we could stand around in the 8 degree weather.
