Racing in Sweden -

Emma and Doris · 03-05-2008, 12:05 PM

The "Lidingö-loppet"!</span>

You all know that few breed can compete against the basset hound in racing.
Some - like the greyhound - can exceed the top speed, but in a marathon like
Lidingö loppet, few can beat a well trained basset like Emma and Doris.

It's give me a great pleasure to go all the way to Sweden, just to beat all those
local dogs, it's like stealing candy from a kid.

Emma is still leading in the last corner before the finish line. Observe how she must
lean over in the curve because of the tremendous speed:

But Doris has an unbelievable finish and manage to pass after the corner:

And the proud winner - White Dynamit's Doris Dajm!

Celebrating the victory!

I also manged to visit Ann-Britt in her new apartment, here's Tanja the Tomato:

Isn't she a cutie?

Bosse don't give a damn
