Gratuitous pup-ness

May 12, 2009

These are obviously not my best shots, because really, how can something I snapped blindly while holding a 7 pound camera above my head be? It’s high time that I featured the pups on here again, so here are some shots I grabbed while at the Buda Wiener Race a while back. Also, why do I always need to mispell wiener before I get it right?

Well, that one of Radish isn’t at the races, but I didn’t take one of her there, so this is my way of making it equal, even though the picture has a green cast that I didn’t even bother to edit out. Second child, already getting the shaft!

The rest are below. For details on the race, check out Who’s Your Dachshund later this week.

Quite a crowd, yes? They were all there for the race. Obviously I am not the only dachshund fan around here!

I love how those two have to stop and sniff each other before getting to the finish line.

There were tons of kids lined up to see the race, but these got smart and went under the bleachers!

Last, and most importantly (hahaha), here is my little dude all tuckered out. We went home and crashed for a while–even though it was only April, the Texas heat got to us!

More exciting things have happened, but I just don’t have the energy to write much right now. I’ll be back with details about the workshop before long–I know my photographer friends are waiting! I’m also re-revamping my photo blog. I know, I know…how much can we change it? I’m just trying to make sure it better reflects me as I am in my real life, and not just who I think I ought to be professionally.

What’s new with you?

It’s awesome that this small and mightly breed have that many fans - and with good reason! I never really “got it” until I got Lila and Rusty! Lovely pictures! ;)

So sweet! We have a dachshund down the street from us named Tuffy and whenever I see him I think of your guys = )

cute, and smart kids hiding under the bleachers where they can actually see. What’s up with this Texas heat though? It’s killing us already this year!

A wiener race? So cute! I love that the kids went beneath the bleachers to watch the races — the kids around these parts do the same thing for most sporting events, as weird as it may sound.

I totally feel you on the Texas/Southern heat. It got miserable around here mid-April, and we cannot shake the temps OR the humidity…

Love the shot under the bleachers the best!

Awww, they’re making my heart all achey with cuteness! So darling.

what ridiculously cute pix!! I always think of my dogs as dachshunds on steroids, so I have a soft spot for them :)

I love puppy photos! How cute!

Lately I’m running around like a mad woman, trying to finish up everything for the end of the school year.

I wish I could have gone to the wiener dog races this year, but I had to work. I love the picture of Radish. So cute!

Wow that would be one of the cutest things to watch. Like ever!
