In 2009 I adopted Miss Addy. I call her my princess, best in show, the best and most beautiful dog in the world…all kinds of silly names. Miss Addy is a mutt and a “rescue”. I think she was about a little over a year when I adopted her. Here is her photo. She is a little Diva now. She learned quickly.
Word of mouth is everything. So, when my friend, Renee told me about Doggies at The Beach, I thought it would be the perfect place to leave Miss Addy when I was traveling for a day or overnight. It would give me a piece of mind. Not everyone can or want to travel with their pooches, so be sure when I tell you that they will be well taken care of at Doggies at The Beach.
Doggies at The Beach is located at 18806 John J. Williams Highway (Rt. 24) in Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-644-8200 Website? http://www.doggiesatthebeach.com. Doggies at The Beach is open 7 days a week. You can leave your dog for overnight care, day care, and grooming. Throughout the year they hold training classes and they also hold vaccination days at a discount rate.
At times, when I come in the customers make me laugh. Here are some of the photos.
 
There are no cages here. What they do have are 6 separate play areas that are small, medium and large. 24-human supervision is one of the services that they are so proud of. They play with the dogs, take them out for walks and give them a treat here or there, as well.
With 3,500 square feet they have plenty of space for all their customers to have a good time. They will be comfortable since the location is climate controlled and with purified air. There are 5 web cams….just in case you want to follow your pooches daily activities. Names like Little Dippers, Moon Doggies, Big Kahunas are the names they give to the play areas which are assigned according to size. They even have a Puppy Palace, just in case your pooch demands a suite. The last day of your adorable pet stay, they will give him or her a bath…a scarf and they will be ready to go.
Miss Addy just spent a week at Doggies at The Beach, while I was in Charleston. My cousin was so jealous because where she lives she does not have this type of care for her dog. So, when I got a few texts from Doggies at The Beach sending me photos of Miss Addy….she was like….what?
Before you start leaving your pet at Doggies at The Beach there are procedures to follow. A temperament evaluation…no agressive dogs, please. Shots and any other pertinent info. Best if you call them at 302- 644-8200.

On another note…Jim and his staff at Doggies at The Beach are so involved in the community, here at the Delaware Beaches. They help raise funds for charitable organizations and I think the world of them.
If you think your dog is just not having fun, think again, because he or she might might be having more fun!! Talk to you later.

From the Rehoboth Beach Film Society:
The moment the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival ends…the works starts all over again. The 2013 Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival will take place November 6th through the 13th. I was so happy to see that Damon Pla has been chosen once again as the winning artist to portrait the theme of this year’s festival. His acyrlic on canvas titled “Old Man and The Must See” is the selection for the 16th anniversary of the Rehoboth Beach Film Festival. Posters, programs, ads, t-shirts, and other materials will be released in July. In 2011 Damon Pla’s work was also selected. When asked what his inspiration was for this year’s piece, he replied “Old Man and The Must See” is based around the fascination of a combination of machines working together to serve one purpose, accentuating a journey, not a destination. In this case, emphasizing the work of the camera, not the subject being filmed.
Damon Pla is from South Florida….He is a self made painter. He offers original paintings, limited editions, commissions and trompe l’oeil/murals. Happy he has made his home, here, in Southern Delaware. Want to learn more? Please visit http://www.damonpla.com. Tel. 302-541-6057. Find him on Facebook, and Twitter.

“The name “Rehoboth Beach” was chosen for the Camp Meeting Grounds. The source for the name is the Bible (Gen. 26:22): In early Hebrew, Rehoboth meant “broad places”. English explorers had given this name to nearby Rehoboth Bay in the 17th Century.” history of Rehoboth beach…downtownrehboth.com

Even though I am in Delray Beach this week, when I left Rehoboth Beach I could tell that Spring was around the corner; my daffodils were growing like crazy and the pear trees had buds on their branches. Seemed like the birds were chirping up a storm, as well. Those little signs that make you feel so good. And if you get a crisp sunny day, then smile because it does not get better than that.
I woke up in Delray Beach to, again, a chilly morning. Hopefully, it will be warmer tomorrow.
But, if you are at the Delaware Beaches, then this is what you have to look forward to.
Clear Space Theatre is located at 20 Baltimore Avenue in Rehoboth Beach. On their schedule you will find.
Backstage Lecture Series – Monday, March 21st at 10:00 a.m. Tickets are $10 and include the seminar, coffee and bagels. It is a monthly installment of theatre-related discussions. On Monday, March 21st the discussion will be “The Shakespeare Nobody Knows” by Lloyd King, a local English and humanities scholar and instructor.
One of the most, if not the most, prolific playwrights in history, William Shakespeare penned 37 plays and 154 sonnets in his lifetime. His work has been the inspiration for countless other works, from musicals to movies to contemporary interpretations of his stories. “The Shakespeare Nobody Knows” will begin with a brief biography of the playwright, leading up to 1599, a pivotal year in his incredible life. In 1599, he wrote 4 immortal plays, “Henry V”, “As You Like It”, “Julius Caesar”, and “Hamlet”, taking audiences to new intellectual heights.
Mr. King received his Master’s Degree in English from the University of Tennessee, and has also studied at the University of North Carolina, American University, and Pace College. He taught English for nearly 40 years in Delaware, and operated a touring Shakespeare company at Glasgow High School.
He hopes his participation in this Backstage Lecture will help ease local audiences into being active and eager observers of Shakespeare’s work.
Tickets may be purchased online at www.clearspacetheatre.org, via phone at 302-227-2270, or in person at the box office.
The Secret Garden – March 31st until April 17th. This production has just started rehearsing. The Secret Garden is based on the 1922 novel of the same name, opened on Broadway in 1991 and won multiple Tony Awards, including Best Book of a Musical. The music is by Lucy Simon and book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marsha Norman.
Clear Space is celebrating the centennial of the original novel, written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, with this musical adaptation. The story revolves around young Mary Lennox, who is sent to live with family she has never met after being orphaned. As she and the servants bring new life to the mansion’s neglected garden, Mary also renews the spirits of her grieving uncle and sickly cousin.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, $15 for students, and $5 for children 12 and under. They are available online at www.clearspacetheatre.org, via telephone at 302-227-2270 or in person at the box office which is open Tuesdays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
