We went to the Wienerschnitzel Wienie Races today at Los Alamitos Race Track. This is one of the best events I have spent my inheritance on....it only cost $3! The kids were free! Wow! What a deal! There were wienie dogs galore here. Long haired, short haired, red, black, black and white...that one looked like a cow! Anyhow, the dogs were set up to race all evening long about every 6 to 10 minutes. There were even a couple of horse races in between the dog races. The dogs were put into the chutes and the gates lifted.
You could feel the excitement in the air as the dogs zoomed out of the chutes. Okay, there were quite a few that were dazed and confused and just did not know what the heck they were doing and what was that smell? Is that horse poop? Why am I out here in dirt up to my arm pits? Don't they love me any more? For the most part half of each set would make it to the finish line. Some stayed back with their owners and others just wandered around sniffing. One poor little guy got going so fast that he did a nose-plant and almost flipped over. Ouch!
I suppose besides the fact that this was just so much fun to watch and probably partcipate in with the family dog there was a cool Winner's Package awaiting the "top dog". The package consisted of this super cool dog house with the Wienerschnitzel logo, a $1000 purse and the title "Fastest Dog in the West". Annette, the boys and I had a wonderful time and hope to be able to do this again in the future.
