2009 Petco Chihuahua Races

By Laurie | August 12, 2009

Before I headed off to New York City on Saturday, Dave and I took Brownie to Dallas for Petco’s 5th Annual Chihuahua Races. We got there a little before 9:00 AM, but it was pretty packed and we had to stand around in the heat for quite awhile waiting in the registration line. Brownie made lots of new friends, including the fawn cutie Natalie (you’ll see her in the slideshow).

Brownie’s brother, Ty, raced earlier in the morning. We watched him come in fourth place in his heat. Afterward we took a few photos before LeAnn and her family left. We browsed inside the store, visited the vendor tents, and even enjoyed some iced tea, while waiting for his race to start. I was really nervous for him. He’s had quite a few misadventures in the past, but this was actually the most uneventful race yet. This year he came in 9th, and actually somewhat ran toward the finish line. I guess all the rest were just a little faster. We didn’t mind though. He’s still #1 in our hearts, and there’s always next year.
