Chihuahua Racing

This is hilarious.

Petco is putting on Unleashed: The 2nd Annual National Chihuahua Races.

KTVU the local Fox affiliate put on their own mini race this morning as part of a story on the San Francisco trials which are going on tomorrow (actually in Santa Rosa, not San Francisco).

The anchors and the traffic guy all had tears streaming down their faces at the sheer absurdity of the whole thing and the traffic guy even said he wanted to get a Chi now because they seem like so much fun. They are, dude, they are!

Check out the video clip and see why Chihuahuas are so much fun - once they are out of the gates they run back to the gates to see their people or they wander over to say "Hi!" to the other Chis and people. The only one who ran to the end (only on his second try) had another person at the other end. Too funny.
