Beans

The 2nd Annual Buda Ground Dog Day will be held on February 1st, 2026. Beans will be the Honorary Ground Dog at this event, with Mochi ready to provide a prediction if Beans is unable to perform his duties for whatever reason.

Beans (or Mochi) will provide a weather prediction at the event, which will be based on whether he picks a Snowman (long winter) or Sunshine (early spring) plushie.

Beans' official bio reads as such: "Meet Beans, the dachshund who lives life to the fullest. Whether he's hitting the trails, plotting the capture of a squirrel, or enjoying a crunchy carrot, he approaches everything with enthusiasm. And when he's done, he naps like the king he is."

A different dog is chosen each year to be the event's prognosticator. Nacho was the Honorary Ground Dog in 2025.
