Check out the video posted on the pet blog at the Orlando Sentinel.

Blogger Ann Hellmuth also has news about the PETCO Unleashed National Chihuahua Races April 19 in Orlando, the first time in four years that the Florida race has been held outside of Miami. The winner moves on to San Diego over Labor Day weekend for the national championships.
