2 Dogs Long Dachshunds

10th ANNUAL DACHSHUND DAY WRAP- UP IT’S A WRAP

The weather was perfect – over 70 degrees, sunshine, and not an over abundance of wind – though we did still have to weigh some containers down with soda cans to keep them from blowing away. In Montana, its more of a breeze, when its like that. Even with the usual pre-Dachshund Day jitters, everything went according to plan, and our final Dachshund Day couldn’t have gone smoother! Plenty of volunteers, over 200 attendees and 110 dachshunds signed in. The bleachers were full, and many families were at nearby picnic tables, or on blankets under the umbrella of trees. Lunch sold out and there were just a few bottles of water & cans of soda left. People were smiling and laughing at the many dachshunds trying their best to win the prizes in each contest. Who could ask for more? When the numbers were totaled at day’s end, $2,036.36 was raised for the American Cancer Society - Another successful Dachshund Day has come and gone – the only difference is this was the 10th and Final Dachshund Day hosted by 2 Dogs Long Dachshunds. The 10 years have passed quickly, we’ve made many new friends, and over those 10 years, we’ve raised well over $16,000 total for the American Cancer Society. That’s something we can be proud of – all of us. Bill & I are just 2 people that ran with an idea 10 years ago and it took off. We never knew there were so many dachshunds in Montana!! One thing we’ve always known - Dachshund People are some of the nicest in the world – and we love our dogs! So, to all of you a great big THANKS! for the kindness, generosity, laughter, and even the tears. Its been quite an experience hosting Dachshund Day for these 10 years. Now its time for us to bow out, and pass the torch to someone else.- we’ll help you anyway we can, but for us, its over. A million thanks for respecting our decision on this, but most of all - Thanks for the memories! God Bless – Bill & Becky Burguess – 2 Dogs Long Dachshunds
