Come closer…May I help you?
Without a shadow of a doubt, Shadow, was eager to help as I stepped into Doggies at The Beach located at 18806 John J. Williams Highway, or Rt. 24 in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
My Heinz 57, Addy, won the “Valentine”s Day give-away. How exciting! Addy will be getting complimentary Daycare and Grooming, and she has until December of 2014 to use. That won’t be a problem because when I need to leave the area, Doggies at The Beach is home away from home for Addy. I have written plenty of times about this doggie day care facility. It is cage free with 24/7 human supervision. They offer day car, overnight care, training courses, and lots of love. Tel. 302-644-8200. Website? http://www.doggiesatthebeach.com. You can also follow them from your computer since they have webcams.
These other customers were there and I had to take their picture, as well. They are a family and they moved in unisome. Almost like saying “okay we stay together when at daycare”. Too funny.
And here is the winner…Addy!!

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 film screenings will begin at 7 p.m. Admission? $2 at Movies at Midway, but free at the library in Bethany. Tel. 302-645-9095. Please visit http://www.rehobothfilm.com.
The Beach Eats – Exhibit at the Rehoboth Beach Museum – A celebration of eating in Rehoboth Beach. The museum is located at 511 Rehoboth Avenue by the roundabout and Rehoboth Beach Chamber of Commerce. It is a fun exhibit. I wrote a post on May 23, 2013 so if you want to take a peek just click on the month of May, 2013 and scroll down to the date. The iconic restaurants in Rehoboth Beach paved the way for the present restaurants. Remember Sydney’s? Sydney mentioned to me that having the restaurant at that time was “A Moment in Time”. It certainly was. So much fun and great food accompanied by amazing music. Check it out…it is worth it. More info? Please visit http://www.rehobothbeachmuseum.org.

It is so good to be able to say thank you and mean it. I want to thank those companies advertising on AboutMyBeaches. Some of them I bugged a lot; explaining why they should be on my website. I really do appreciate it.
AboutMyBeaches started back on July of 2009. It was one of those ideas. I am a frustrated concierge. First it was going to be just a website. When my webmaster, Ed Timmons, met with me, I kept talking and talking. He probably thought I was more of a blogger. So, really, it was his suggestion. Here I am. I consider myself to be in the business of Word of Mouth.
Since my advertisers are on my website, which is written in a blog style, you can access them directly. Just look at them on the right hand side of AboutMyBeaches, http://www.aboutmybeaches.com, and you will be able to find out what these companies are all about. They are all different.

I cannot believe that Doggies at the Beach is turning 5 years old on March 1st. I have had my dog Addy, almost 3 years. Time flies by. I have also written posts about Doggies at the Beach in the past. But, even before I had AboutMyBeaches or even Addy, I passed the word around.
Thanks to Renee who also takes her dogs to Doggies at the Beach I learned about this cage free facility. That was the first thing that interested me. I thought Addy had been in enough cages to last a lifetime. Enough of them for her.
I fell in love with Jim and his staff. They really love pets. I feel very comfortable leaving her in their care.
