HOWL-O-Weenie 2009: 

If you howled, you must have seen and heard ...

Artist and Vendor Market:  Tons of the coolest dachshund stuff you'll ever see, like Four-Legged Creative,  Big Daddy Biscuits, Pets Playhouse, Decatur Animal ER, Highland Pet, Park Pet Supply, Paws, Whiskers, and Wags, Canine PHD, Parkgrounds, Intown Healthy Hound, Bonedacious Bakery, Puptown Products, Airport Bark & Park, Taj MaHound, 5-Star Dog Resort, Parkgrounds Coffee and Dog Park, and more! 

Costume contest:  Man, y'all get more amazing every year!  Our "Doggie Lama" won Judges' Choice, and "Whitneyrella and Prince Eli" won People's Choice!  But who could forget the Pirate Ship, the vampires, the spiders, the geishas, too?  And so many other clever ones.

Dachshund Races:  Contrary to what you might think, the "fastest" dachshund doesn't win.  The most "focused" dachshund does!  Emcee'd by Emmy-award winning FOX sportscaster Bob Rathbun (who is also an awesome foster dad for DREAM.  Boy are we lucky he loves dachshunds, cause he sure doesn't do this for the money!).

On-site vaccinations, microchipping, and nail trims!  Vaccinations are sponsored by Intown Healthy Hound and City Kitty!  Microchipping and Nail trims sponsored by Decatur Animal Emergency Center!

Bluegrass Music:  Roxie (DOXIE) Watson charmed us all.  Man, are their sounds sweet.  Back by popular demand!  Get a sneak listen here.

Tail-Wagging Contest, Face-Kissing Contest,Howling Contest.  Yummy Hot Dog Lunches (someone complimented my chili...thanks!  We're getting ready to enter Chomp and Stomp!)

The Dachsie Hokey Pokey:  People dancing with their dachshunds.  "Put your red dog in, put your red dog out..."Prize basket went to the most joyous dancer -- who was dancing with his beautiful IVDD doggie, Bree.

Plus a great day at a beautiful park.  All proceeds go to medical care for dachshunds in DREAM's foster program. It's been a tough year all around, and we appreciate your support.

"A dog can express more with his tail in minutes than his owner can express with his tongue in hours." --Anonymous

"I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better." - George Bird Evans

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. 

~Samuel Butler, Notebooks, 1912
