Wiener of OZ.....just what can a person say about this????


The Children's Museum of Eastern Oregon held their annual "Wiener Dog Race" last Friday here in Pendleton. It has become a HUGE moneymaker for the Children's Museum. Of course, the public thoroughly enjoys the running of the wieners! This year's theme was "Wiener of OZ" and it was hysterical. How could you have a Wiener of OZ race without Dorothy and the Wicked Witch? Hmmmmmmmmm......they look a little familiar!

Could she be pointing at Toto?

Wow....the dogs even turned into witches!

Check it out....Main Street looks like Round-Up in June! People love this stuff.

This little wiener won the "Most Elegant" prize.

You can't have a wiener dog fashion show without a bun and some condiments!

This little gal won the funniest prize with her "big" dog dressed as Dorothy.

Everyone seemed to be so proud of their little dogs.

I thought this was very original.....a "Kissing Booth" with a little wiener inside covered in kisses!

Run wieners.....run!!!

This little guy gets a birds-eye view from his master's shoulders. No worrying about getting stepped on here.

This "howling" dog was the winner this year. As a matter of fact, the same dog won the races last year! Now...on to next year and the triple crown jewel!

Ending.....


Well, what can one say about this fellow?
I know he must have been so confused about many things, but he was a great entertainer. I like to remember him as he was in the 80s before he really got into all of his plastic surgery and personal problems. Yes, even though he did many, many crazy things, he was first and foremost a supurb entertainer. RIP!
