We thought our Dachsie friends -- Lorenza, Andy, Sammy, Roxie, and others would enjoy knowing about this unique event!!!In this Dec. 31, 2006 file photo released by the Florida Keys News Bureau, Lola, left, and Nosey, right, pause for a moment during the annual Key West Dachshund Walk in Key West. The third New Year's Eve procession of canines down sidewalks that border the island city's Duval Street is scheduled to begin at noon Monday, Dec. 31.

ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,

Love the "hot dog"! J x
ReplyDeleteOh, we wish we could do something like that! Mom says we aren't very good on our leashes and we would certainly bark at all of the other dogs and end up invited to leave. Maybe we should just sneak out and go by ourselves next year. Wait, we would need to leave in July to get there in time and that would mean we would miss too many meals ...
ReplyDeleteHappy Barkday! We hope you had a wonderful time!
Roxie, Sammy & Andy
yes, we saw that in the paper and wondered whether you guys got a waiver to attend.

We are trying to find someone that might have pictures, but have no luck. Wish we knew about it earlier.
ReplyDeleteHi, friends!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! Too bad here we don't have things like these! In my neighborhood, I am the only one who goes out for walkies! All the dogs are behind gates!
Kisses and hugs

What a great parade. That hotdog outfit is a hoot.

Mom made me wear one of those hotdog costumes on Halloween. I was NOT happy because I'm too cute to be a hot dog. But I'd love to be in a parade or out meeting other dachsies!!
ReplyDeletePeace + Paws,

Can ANY dog participate or do you have to be a weenie?
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! We may have to adopt a version of that in GooberStan.
Goober love,
Stanley
