WeinerRoast 2010

So today was the annual weinerroast for our dachshund meetup and well, of course, we went. Before we headed out, we stopped at the Stop & Shop Supermarket & bought some yummy goodies to bring with us. It was Daisy's first trip to the supermarket. I put her in the cart, you know where you put kids and she was really good.

We didnt get stopped until we were ready to leave and were told we couldnt have dogs, when Ive seen SO MANY dogs there in the past. Then we headed out to the park. There werent as many people as last year, but we still had an AWESOME PAWsome time! When we got there, Daisy's look alike Marli was swimming out in the hudson after a geese & the owners boyfriend had to swim after her. It was pretty amazing, considering she swam pretty far. Had that been Daisy, she would be swimming the opposite direction to land lol...We ate a lot of yummy bbq and snacks and Daisy even got a snip (when I wasnt looking) of my cheese burger and later snacked on a watermelon.

Daisy enjoying her juicy watermelon:Another Doxie saw me feeding Daisy a Watermelon and she was trying to lick my fingers lol:

Chad (my boyfriend) kept telling me to let her free to explore without her leash, because the majority of the other doxies were loose. However, I was a little hesitant because we never leave her without a leash unless the place where we are is gated. She tends to run after anything-squirrels, chipmunks & bunnies...you name it. But she was being so good and I told him that if he watched her, while I was chatting with some of the members, that I would allow it. As soon as I took the leash off, she was saying hi to people and doggies and walking around exploring with Chad. At one point she was even running (which made my heart stop a beat, I wont even lie lol) but she was extremely good and I was so proud of her.

She was even vocal...Shes normally really quiet and shy when we go to the meetups but she was even speaking and everyone was so surprised. There was only one incident that happened-Another doxie snapped at her and all I heard was her screaming really loud so I dropped what I was doing & ran to her. Poor thing was shaken up and her heart was beating so fast. The owner did apologize and after a few mins it took to calm her down, she was ok. My poor little Daisypoo. Even so, she had such a good time that when it was time to leave, she didnt want to go.
