One of the errands last weekend, took The Mister and I to downtown Henderson. As it happened, it was Heritage Days in Henderson, complete with parade!
Although it is the third largest city in Nevada, not too long ago, Henderson was the 'country cousin' to Las Vegas. It was often referred to, disparagingly, as 'Hooterville' or 'Hendertucky' and it still retains some of that small town flavor (which The Mister and I love!)
The parade had elementary, middle and high school bands, politicians riding in open convertibles, floats pulled by pick-up trucks and my favorite: The Desert Doxies!
Led by this young man with two dogs in a shopping cart, the Doxie contingent was one of the largest groups in the parade and the only one with dogs!
This one had the best ride, though! Cause nothin' says fun like a wiener dog in a wiener-mobile!

Emily played drums in her high school marching band, so we attended plenty of small town parades. There were usually some dogs dressed up, but never just dachshunds -- they're so cute!
You were lucky to happen upon such a fun occasion. I love the "Doxies." Makes me remember Heidi!
I love the Doxies! Reminds me of my "Fritz" who's been gone a long time!
How fun - gotta love a parade of doxies!
Oh, boy! Bad Dog needs a wiener mobile! I'd haul him all over town in that thing. :))
