2nd Annual Sam Houston Race Park Wiener Dog Races

Hidee Practicing For The Races

This Saturday my precious pup, Hidee, will be competing in the 2010 Sam Houston Wiener Dog Races.  Hidee is 9 years old and sure to be one of the most senior dogs on the track, but don’t doubt her speed, this old lady can run….when she wants to.  Hidee is actually lucky enough to have a sponsor for the race, Daisy’s Doggie Duds, who will be providing all her “off track” attire.  This includes a sweatshirt, t-shirt and Bumble Bee costume for the costume contest held after the races.  We are really excited that Daisy’s Doggie Duds wanted to be part of Hidee’s special day, as all of her family and friends will be coming out to watch her as she races for the finish.

I am going to be taking lots of pictures and hopefully some video of the event so that you guys can see what a proud mommy I am(as if you haven’t grasped that already from the thousands of pictures of her on Flickr, Facebook and the tweets coming from her very own Twitter account @hideeho).

Since this is Hidee’s first time to do this, and mine as well, I went on to YouTube to see if there was any video from last year’s races.  Thankfully I was able to find this short clip of the track and some of the dogs that participated last year.  I think we are in for an exciting day and A LOT of laughs.

Hidee’s first race will start around 7:30pm-Hope to see you there!
