This past Saturday (April 14, 2012) was a beautiful day, with plenty of sunshine and a constant breeze – perfect weather for racing! Pensacola’s Wiener Dog Races are in their 8th year, and personally, I was pretty impressed at how organized and systematic the event was: there were divisions for every weight class (from 5 lbs all the way up to 20+ lbs) and each race was exciting! And to top it all off, proceeds from admission and food sales went to support the Florida Dachshund Rescue, a fantastic group of people that rehabilitate and re-home dachshunds in need. It was a fantastic day – check out all the fun we had in this video!
 

It was great to meet everyone there – and congrats again to the winners!
