Rudy's Race Results....

The national weenie races were a lot of fun!  I think that Rudy could have used a little more practice in front of loud noises with a couple other dogs but we managed and I am very proud of him!  His first race, he was up against 2 other weenies, all inexperienced.....we all giggled about that one!  The weenies were in their starting positions, the gate went up, wennie mom's at the finish line started hollerin' for their weenie to come to them and all three of them sat there wondering what to do!  There were three weenies to race at a time so in Rudy's first group the middle weenie, named Ellie, took off and went about 3 feet, stopped and went back to the person who was holding her at the starting line.  Rudy followed her until he realized that wasn't his Mommy and he ran to the catcher.  The third weenie refused to even go.  So Rudy won that race because he ran the farthest....not in the right direction.....but the farthest.  We all waited a while, two other sets of weenies ran and the winners from those would have a race-off.  The other two that won their heats, I feel were professional weenie-runners!  Those dogs KNEW what they were doing!  Time for Rudy's last race.  Everyone was in the starting box, Rudy kept his eyes on me this time and he was getting the idea of the game, the gate went up and the other two weenies were off like a flash!  Rudy saw the other two weenies take off and so he decided that he would do the same!  He was picking up speed but the brown long-haired weenie got their first!  Rudy was going faster but the other one beat him to the finish by a weenie body length!  He tried so hard!  I am proud of him!  Maybe next year....we will get more practice in.....and we'll blow the hair off that long-haired weenie!
