While the lion cubs were the stars of the show two weekends ago, Cougar Mountain Zoo‘s namesakes were also out and and being very photogenic that day, with a classic mlem.

Not to be outdone, one of the wolves also got in on the action.

Late August means shorter days and, apparently, shorter dogs.

(Cross-posted from my site, where there are additional wiener dog photos: https://andrewflenniken.com/2025/08/29/august-29th-2025-the-wiener-dog-days-of-summer/)

Emerald Downs does a yearly event called the "Wiener Dog and Wannabe Races", where dachshunds and similar short-n-long dogs run a 40-50 yard race on the same track the horses use.  It's ridiculous, in the best possible way.  The dogs are not all quite on the same page about what's going on, so when the flag drops it's frequently chaos.  Short, fast, funny chaos.  Most of them finish!  Sometimes with a little encouragement and redirection, but still.

This was my second time attending, and first time bringing a real camera and longer lens.  I absolutely intend on doing it again next year.  A perfectly fine way to enjoy a late summer day.

There were also horses racing!  I was there for the puppers, but managed to get a few shots of the equine persuasion.
