Adventurous pups never pass up a good time so when we had the chance to sponsor a pooch in the Wiener Dog Race at the Menomonie SummerDaze Festival, the answer was YES! Our team looked fabulous in the bright shirts and our racer, Ella, was ready to run in a When Pooch Comes To Shove party hat and cape created by crafty pawty trainer, Jessy.

Ella strutted her stuff in the costume contest then got down to business as she prepared to blow the competition away with her speedy little legs. Running in multiple heats, the crowd had a great time watching these adorable dogs racing down main street.

She may not have won the race, but this little girl is always top dog in our hearts. Can she be any cuter?!? This little lady and all the other racers definitely earned themselves a gift bag full of goodies from WhenPoochComesToShove.com. We put together the perfect summer treat bag in our Hot Diggity Dog party theme, complete with decorated water bottles and a bow tie, a Bark Bar treat and gift certificate for their own pooch pawty.

A special thanks to Main Street of Menomonie Inc. for the fun evening and Custom Ink for the marvelous shirts. We KNOW that cape gave our pooch super hero speed.
