All purebred Chihuahuas are eligible to race. In order to avoid discrimination against rescued Chihuahuas, no documentation will be required. O.k. I have to stop laughing so I can type.
If your dog acts and looks like a Chihuahua, it can definitely race.
But, if your Chihuahua is mixed with another breed that could give it an advantage, it will not be allowed to participate. That’s why it is called “Chihuahua Race”. The judges will determine this issue.
Last one is that no pushing your Chihuahua in order for it to run and no reaching out for it at the finish line, either. A treat? Oh, yes!! That will do.
Do you really need more info? Then, please call 561-279-1380 or 561-784-8700.
Have fun…..
February 25th, 2011
I cannot believe that February is almost over. It was so funny; today I was at Rehoboth Auto Repair located in Rehoboth Beach when a local builder from Lewes came in and stated “everybody in this darn town is on vacation”, “my electrician is in Florida”, “my plumber is in South Florida”, but “”not me”. His next statement was “I like here like this, no tourists, no bugs, no heat”.
That made me think about Delray Beach. It was crowded when I was there last month and I wonder if the locals are ready to take their town back. I think we do feel that way around here, at the end of the summer, but tourism is what makes our beaches. I don’t know, I think I am ready for Spring and Summer; for those visitors to arrive and see how lucky we are to live here.
As usual, Delray Beach is full of activities this week-end. So here is a taste of what you can experience if you find yourselves in the warmer climate of that Village by the Sea.

November 25th, 2010
Just like a lot of you, I am in the cooking mode for Thanksgiving. My Turducken is all thawed and as soon as I finish this post I will start making my side dishes. Simple is the way I like my dishes; not too sweet but with a lot of flavor.
I have gotten my wish; it is a gray day and cool; leaves are on the ground. Actually, they are all over my deck and yard.
I was thinking about all the people that have been traveling since yesterday on planes and cars and I give thanks that on this Holiday, I have stayed home; football games and enjoying the season.
The town of Delray Beach, Florida, is one of those I write about a lot. I do because I have a place there and a lot of people from the eastern shore (Delaware and Maryland) visit this Village by The Sea. It must be that it reminds us of home. The coastal atmosphere and the relaxing way in which we live here at the beach.
It still amazes me as I write this, how someone about a month ago wrote to my blog; took the effort to tell me how horrible Delray Beach was and the added comment was that she hated my life. Oh, well, what can I answer to that? To each its own, that’s what I say.
I do like Delray Beach; the way the town is set up, the beach is great, fantastic restaurants, little boutiques, lots of activities and events, music to entertain the visitors and residents every day of the week. Gorgeous palm trees and accessibility to walking, biking and running.
So, speaking of that, this is what I found out and I am passing it on to you in case you are in the area:
