Where the Surf Meets the Turf--Odie's Springboard to Fame

This has got to be the highlight of the Del Mar Racing Season:
WIENERSCHNITZEL WIENER NATIONALS- SAN DIEGO FINALS

The qualifying event will be held August 4 at Qualcomm Stadium, and the fastest dogs race in the San Diego Finals, held at the Del Mar racetrack on Labor Day, September 3.

I'd love to see Hilda's dog, Odie in this event.

Odie

Even if he didn't win, he'd hog all the publicity.
I can see the headlines now:


"Brave Little Dachshund Wins Hearts"
"Odie Video Goes Viral!"
"Million Dollar Advertising Contract to Odie!"
"Hollywood Discovery is a Wiener!"
"Odie Stars in Blockbuster Movie!"
"New Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame!

"Raising Global Awareness! The Odie Foundation For Dogs With Disabilities"

Odie's Second Home in Beverly Hills

When Odie has achieved fame and fortune, I hope he'll remember who started it all and post a link to my blog on his Facebook page.
