A Sea of Dachshunds!

I am not at the market today AGAIN - still waiting on my car. But fear not, I have a plethora of dachshund photos for your pleasure because on Thursday, we went to the "Wiener Dog Rally" at Seattle Center, which was an elimination rally for the annual Wiener Dog Rally at Emerald Downs, the local horsetrack.

I am a little squeamish about horse racing, but for some reason dachshunds running is endlessly funny and I saw no evil owners that day, only a lot of love and appreciation for dachshunds and dogs in general. I mean, c'mon, look at the love in this photo!

So, please enjoy the following photos. They are a mixture of action shots and anticipated action, a lot of feet, and some dachshund blurrs, like the Boccioni (sic) Futurist dachshund artwork from the 30s...

There were seven races because there were SO MANY dachshunds ready to race! 50+ dogs! Can you believe it?!? Doxie heaven. Here are a couple more pics from the heats:



Ok, now everybody, calm down....!



Shew! Too much excitement.
Nos vemos,

Here and There

So, Saturday I went to the first summer show of Urban Craft Uprising, which is a fantastic local crafts fair, i.e., clever updates on traditional crafts. I don't have pictures of what I saw but if you go to their website (http://www.urbancraftuprising.com/) you can see links to the exhibitors - totally worth checking out!

Sunday, not so much on the dog parade, but I loved this kid's bike:

His mom said it's German. He was fast on it!

These guys have their own look; I admire their style sense (and maybe their guts, too)...

This fellow vendor sells fedoras, is super nice, and has done a great business all summer...

I loved this woman's style - I love navy blue dresses, but the red espadrilles really kick it!!



Oh, yes, one dachshund coming up:

Next weekend: hiatus - no car - sorry!

A bientot,
Nordy
