They all play the piano :)
They did win the cutest trick contest but I think the judges liked the jumping over each other trick the best although they did play the piano really well :)
LAME prizes though. Dollar store stuff....
We won best costume (pair/group) also. We didn't race, cuz it was so friggin hot and Laika wasn't feeling great this morning (tummy problem).
Owey and Rob entered the bobbing for weenies contest but Owen thought he had to drink all the water to get to the hot dog...
SOOOO many dachshunds. Unbelievable. SOOOO many minis. Laika started looking gigantic to me. LOTS of really small minis...I'm talking 6-7 pounds...it's strange seeing such a small dachshund.
But one of those teeny meenies shared the x-pen with my dogs and OWEN found her to be quite attractive...got his hummpy boy ears on and they played and played....SOOO cute :)

Oh Amy, Owee, Laika and Salsa - Congratulations !!!! OMG - I am praying that Rob filmed the tricks - jumping and piano !!!! I HAVE to see both !!!! Too funny about Owen and the bobbing for hot dogs - mine wouldn't have a clue !!!

Is there a website where pictures will be posted? Were you or Rob able to get any? I know how hectic it gets.... but I am sure - but I hope, I hope !!!!!

Loved the jumping over trick. Much better than those 2 POODLES who tried it. The prizes were cheapo. Rusty did not even leave the start line in the race. Too much stuff going on. I will post pix tomorrow.

How did Salsa react about Owen turning his eye, among other things, to another girl? You certainly deserved to win best costurmes. I hope at least the ribbons were nice. Sorry about the cheapies prizes. But you have all of our great admiration.

Glad you had a good time and the kids did so well. Sorry about theprizes however.

It made me think about the upcoming MADP event since I am doing the prizes for them. I am posting a question after types of prises and hope you vote.

I for sure will vote. It doesn't matter that much...but the prizes last year were a lot better ...a few dollar store toys in a paper gift bag just really isn't too nice... The Wiener race winner got a free hug-a-dox I think...THAT was nice! I know they couldn't do that for everyone but I think it could have been a bit better..

She was laying there looking at them out of the corner of her eye-I should say out of the corner of the most evil STINK EYE you ever saw! It was hilarious. She most certainly did not join in fun but was obviously in a big snit about the whole thing.
But who could blame Owen??? Molly not only was tiny and adorable, she was a shiny black and tan just like him!
Gosh..she really was so very cute. So little...but very well proportioned and dachshund-y except for having somewhat pricked ears. She had a very smiley face...
Why o why didn't I take a picture???????

:congrats: When we saw how hot it was going to be we decided to head north instead and followed Lake Huron up to Mackinaw. I wanted to go to Frankenmuth so bad but I don't do 90 degree heat well.
