Last weekend several organizations got together and held
weiner dog races in the mall to raise money for area shelters. Although I, and my grandson, were working at the shelter and did not get to watch the lowrider dogs gallop down the stretch, we got to meet one of the winning weenies. Actually this Dachshund was one of our former homeless pets who now lives with a loving family.
It was the first time we'd seen him since he'd been adopted several months ago. He seemed quite happy and pleased with himself as they visited with us at the shelter. His 'mom' said he raced to the finish line first in one heat but stopped to socialize in another heat.
Of course winning was not the object. The whole purpose was to
have fun and raise money to help other homeless dogs like he once was. And he certainly did that. It was rewarding to see one of our former residents having a good life as a cherished member of a loving family.
