On Sunday I attended the 2014 Sly Fox Goat Races – a first for me!

I hopped on the bus at the fairgrounds in the hopes of seeing some exciting racing!

The turnout to the event was much larger than I expected, especially since for the better part of the morning we were stuck under a raincloud.

I wasn’t going to let a little rain stop me from having a good time though, so I pulled up my hood and got ready for some fun!

First I hit up the food tent and ate some yummy Beerwurst, I’m drooling still thinking about it.

After my belly was full I decided to mingle and check out the goat racing competition.

Tension was high, as the goats argued amongst each other about who they thought would come out on top and have the honor of getting the ceremonial bock beer named after them.

I sniffed out all the competitors and secretly made my bets on who I thought would win.

I also made sure to keep looking over my shoulder, because I don’t trust anything with horns!

Not only did I meet goats at the races, but there were lots of dogs there too, like this big guy who had a go pro camera strapped to his back.

I also met this guy, Chase the mini Australian Shepherd. He reminded me of my best buddy Trooper, but much more my size!

While I bounced around the event I attracted quite a bit of attention from the children there (as well as the adults that couldn’t help but want to take my picture).

The kids were my favorite part though, because where there’s kids, there’s food!

Finally it was time for the goat races to start, or so I heard, because I couldn’t see anything on account of being so short! #shortdogproblems

Thankfully mom and dad helped me work my way to the front of the crowd so that I’d had a much better view.

And before I knew it the goats were off….well kinda. I’m not sure what I was expecting, maybe because I’m used to seeing and racing in the dachshund races – well goats aren’t quite as speedy!

It was quite comical to watch actually, and at the end of the day it was announced that the goat, Spartacus was the champion!

But in a major upset on monday it was re-announced that the new winner was Jixxer after a photo surfaced of his leg crossing the finish line ahead of Spartacus. So much drama at the goat races! I guess better luck next year Spartacus!Ammo the Dachshund

P.S. I hear the champion Jixxer is up for adoption! Maybe next year I’ll have my own goat to enter, as the ponies on the farm have been asking for a goat buddy for a long time now!
