Buda 2017 (Pic Heavy)

[lotsadox]

We got to Buda late in the afternoon on Friday. I tossed the blankets on the couch and Cash promptly claimed the end of the couch and spent all his in room time there or on the bed.

Darby couldn't leave his ball alone long enough for me to get a pic of him. After all, he'd been without his ball for over 2 hours driving over!

On Saturday, the walk up to the park was pretty eventful. There were a lot people walking both ways on the sidewalk so I was walking ahead of Jim pulling the wagon with Cash in it. I hear a "thump", turn around and Cash has fallen out of the wagon! Evidently, he decided to put his front feet on the edge and lost his balance. After getting him back in the wagon and making sure he was okay, I walked the rest of the way next to the wagon letting Darby walk ahead.

And here we are at the races! Wienertopia 2017!

So we set up and let the dogs look around. Cash thought it was pretty interesting

Darby found something stinky to roll in, of course.

Then he hung out for a while

Sat on his Dad's lap and gave him kisses

While Mom went shopping. Oh, look, here comes, Mom!

I found just the thing for a dachshund enthusiast who is also a Mustang enthusiast

We got really lucky with the weather. It was a bit hot on Saturday, but up under the trees there was a bit of breeze so it wasn't too bad. It stormed overnight but it was mostly wind and just a little rain. On Sunday it was sunny and cool (I actually wore jeans and sneakers and a sweatshirt!) and it hadn't rained enough to make it muddy so it was a really nice day. A good trip all around.

Oh my gosh! :sillylove::love98::sillylove:

Those pictures are AH MAZ ING! Love, love, love. I can't even pick a favorite.

We really do have to have another meet-up.

So. Much. Fun.

[Rafi]

Great set of pictures thanks for sharing :)

[LexieLuvr]

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing.

[lotsadox]

Thanks! The weather was so pretty that it made it easy to get good pics. I only have about 50 more lol

[Tanya]

These pictures are so sweet! Especially that last one! :love98: I'm glad you had a great time!!!

[Alex's Mom]

These are great!!! Cash is looking pretty good for an old man :sillylove:. so is Jim! :rotfl: It looks like the crowds are a lot smaller than before...did you enter any of the races? (Well, not YOU, but Darby...I'm assuming Cash, grand old man that he is, supervised :) )

[lotsadox]

Cash is such a cute little old man. He thinks he's the supervisor of everything! No racing. Just hanging out and watching for us.

[Yolanda]

Great pictures,

One of these days I hope to make the trip again.

I hope you do! I talked to April in the Dachshund Delights booth for a few minutes.

[oceangirls]

Really cute pictures! I like your t-shirt - nice find!!

[Rae]

SO glad that the whole Schoppe family was feeling up to this event! Your pictures are great, and that last one of Darby snoozing in Jim's lap was precious.

I assume that everyone showed Cash the proper adoration?

Not as much as he'd like but then Cash does have high expectations.

I was coming back to our chairs and caught him sitting on the ground next to Jim's chair snarking at other dogs walking by :rolleyes:

[Mama S.]

Every time I see the sign over our fireplace I am reminded of the most fabulous trip ever! The love we shared that weekend has never been surpassed!!!
