			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The day I knew that I would love living in Carrboro was the day I saw Weiner Dog Day listed on <a href="http://www.weaverstreetmarket.coop/">Weaver Street Market</a>&#8216;s events page. This was back in July, and I have been counting down the days till October 18th, envisioning a carpet of disproportionately long puppies frolicking in front of the co-op.<br />
<span id="more-564"></span><br />
Unfortunately, it was pretty cold, so a lot of people were holding their dogs or stuffing them into their sweatshirts. This made it infinitely harder to steal one.</p>
<div id="attachment_565" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 591px"><img class="size-full wp-image-565" title="WeinerDogDay2009-4" src="http://www.patricialadd.com/wp-content/uploads/WeinerDogDay2009-4.jpg" alt="I would only cutenap ones that were also wearing adorable sweaters. Oh wait, that's all of them." width="581" height="389" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I would only cutenap ones that were also wearing adorable sweaters. Oh wait, that&#39;s all of them.</p></div>
<p>The first competition involved walking your dog around in a circle to music, and then getting them to sit when the music stopped. Like musical chairs, but with dogs.</p>
<div id="attachment_567" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 399px"><img class="size-full wp-image-567" title="WeinerDogDay2009-10" src="http://www.patricialadd.com/wp-content/uploads/WeinerDogDay2009-10.jpg" alt="WeinerDogDay2009-10" width="389" height="581" /><p class="wp-caption-text">This was the eventual victor, clearly with a fashionvantage.</p></div>
<p>Then the limbo! Miniature doxin limbo was maybe what I&#8217;ve been waiting for all my life. Sorry, Steven.</p>
<div id="attachment_569" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 591px"><img class="size-full wp-image-569" title="WeinerDogDay2009-49" src="http://www.patricialadd.com/wp-content/uploads/WeinerDogDay2009-49.jpg" alt="WeinerDogDay2009-49" width="581" height="389" /><p class="wp-caption-text">When the bar got too low, a lot of them would try to industriously dig a hole. The kids I used to play limbo with at the library would never have thought of that.</p></div>
<p>Like so:</p>
<div id="attachment_570" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 591px"><img class="size-full wp-image-570" title="WeinerDogDay2009-65" src="http://www.patricialadd.com/wp-content/uploads/WeinerDogDay2009-65.jpg" alt="WeinerDogDay2009-65" width="581" height="389" /><p class="wp-caption-text">&quot;Dude, I could totally get through...</p></div>
<p>&#8230; if you hadn&#8217;t dressed me in a <a href="http://www.utilikilts.com/">utilikilt</a> this morning&#8221;</p>
<p>The last competition I stayed for before I perished of cold was the &#8220;bobbing for weiners&#8221; competition, where two dogs went head to head in an attempt to eat a slice of hot dog out of a small tray of water.</p>
<div id="attachment_571" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 591px"><img class="size-full wp-image-571" title="WeinerDogDay2009-108" src="http://www.patricialadd.com/wp-content/uploads/WeinerDogDay2009-108.jpg" alt="WeinerDogDay2009-108" width="581" height="389" /><p class="wp-caption-text">They were surprisingly reticent to go for the hot dogs. I could totally have won this one.</p></div>
<p>There was also a costume contest, which is why you may see one in the background that looks like a lobster.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there was no cuteness contest.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-568" title="WeinerDogDay2009-12" src="http://www.patricialadd.com/wp-content/uploads/WeinerDogDay2009-12.jpg" alt="WeinerDogDay2009-12" width="581" height="389" /></p>
