In no particular order, I got a big kick out of little Bo-Peep and her "Sheep" Dog. I'm amazed the dog puts up with this.
My favorite wiener dog costume is a tie between the Hot Dog that Dawn talks about, and another dog dressed as a horse, with a tiny cowboy attached to his back. I don't have a great shot of it, but when the dog would trot forward, the "cowboy" would rock back and forth like he was riding a bronco. It made me chuckle every time I saw it.
The next best thing at the festival were the wiener dog races. It was so cute to see the little dogs come darting out of the chute, and perhaps even cuter to see the dogs who didn't quite know what was going on kind of tentatively emerge from the chute, and maybe trot to their owners. Of course there were qualifications of dachshund, something about a ratio of leg length to body length, and a maximum hight requirement, I guess to stop people from entering greyhounds or something. There were also different divisions, including seniors, puppies less than one year (perhaps the cutest race ever) and handicapped. Three dogs, one blind, one deaf, and one with a little dog wheelchair, because it could not use it's back legs. People came from all around southeastern Texas to participate, so I hope the shelter had a great fundraiser. (I did put in a bid on an iPod in a silent auction, but lost.)

What's that you want me to make some double entendres of wienerfest? Like it's a sausage party? Well, you were out of luck, as the organizers took most of the best away from me, including tee-shirts saying , "I stroke my wiener every day," and "Ask me to show you my wiener." What more could I do?
