Chihuahua Races!

Although I have been a Chihuahua for my entire life, I was not aware that Chihuahuas raced. I do sometimes like to run wildly through the house just to amuse everyone. However, I was amazed when Mommy told me we were going to the 2nd Annual Chihuahua Races at Petco in Richardson, Texas.

Immediately I checked the house thoroughly, just to make sure there were no racing shirts or hats that I was going to have to wear. Fortunately, I didn't find any! Well, I love an outing so this seemed like a fine idea, particularly since I wasn't having to dress up for the occasion. Mommy told me I didn't have to race, just watch the other Chihuahuas. That suited me fine since competitive sports are not my forte.

I couldn't believe all the barking! My goodness, what a bunch of noisy dogs! It was pretty warm outside, even though it was morning, so Mommy carried me. I don't like getting my paws dirty, and besides, it is very hard to see over the crowd when you are as short as I am. We got right up in front and could see all the dogs as they left the starting gate and raced to the other end. I am still not sure why they were racing. Someone mentioned prizes but I just watched and Mommy bought me a new toy anyway!

Watching the races was very tiring. I fell asleep in the car on the way home but was fortunately rested enough by the time we got there to have my lunch!

Catching Up

Mommy is so far behind with my website! She has been very busy with all her classes in school and with work. Fortunately, I have graduated from school and do not have to go anymore. I am particularly glad that I did not have to take Statistics because it seems to be very hard and takes up a lot of Mommy's time. This is time that should be spent playing with me!! However, I do my best to help Mommy with this class by licking the book. I can tell I'm helping because I always get an extra cuddle and kisses for that.

Mommy promises to get new pictures up on my website very soon, so check back! New pictures of me in my role as Mayor of the Street and sleeping in our new Sleep Number bed are coming soon!
