Baseball is a great sport. I know alllll about baseball because I go to a baseball game every year. This year, we are going Saturday night to watch baseball at
Roger Dean Stadium in West Palm Beach.
The first thing you need to know about baseball is you get to go for a car ride. This is usually a pretty long car ride too, and if you're lucky, Mom will put the windows down and you can hang your head out the window. That's so much fun!
Then you get to the Stadium where you are going to watch the baseball game and there are all these other dogs there. And you can exchange smells with them and their people and everyone is happy to see you and pets you and fusses all over. They'll tell you what a beautiful dog you are and give you treats too!
Then we got into a line and at the end of the line we got hot dogs. And I got TWO hot dogs JUST FOR ME! I didn't have to share them at all! Later we got back into the same line and I got TWO more hot dogs JUST FOR ME!
(As you can tell, this absolultely the best sport in the world, right?)
There's all these tables set up at the Stadium and they've got all kinds of things for dogs. Toys and food samples and more treats...one time we got peanut butter-flavored ice cream and another time we got peanut butter cake made by Bark Avenue.
After all this excitement, you sit in the stands and take a rest. Meanwhile there are these people with balls and big sticks, they call them "players", and they hit the balls with the big stick. Well...the dogs don't have to go and get the balls....no they don't. The PEOPLE run out and get the balls. It's pretty funny. But sometimes I would like to get a ball.
Sometime the balls come into the stands and then you can get them, if they are close enough to the end of your leash. That's the only bad part, is you have to stay on your leash.
If you get thirsty there are pools with water in them to drink. Sometimes the dogs go in the pools to cool off. If you get hungry there are MORE hot dogs.
One time we went and Sky Dog was there and he did frisbee tricks. I'm pretty good with a frisbee, but not as good as Sky Dog, let me tell you!
You can sit around and watch the game with your family and your friends. If you have to go to the bathroom there is a special dog walk to go to. Don't go in the stadium, even though it kind of seems like you're outside, it's one of those outside areas where you're not supposed to go.
When it's all over you have another car ride home and by this time, you're really tired out from all the fun and ready to go home.
Baseball...it's the greatest thing in the whole world!
I can't wait until Saturday!
(PS: Mom says the best part is that it benefits Animal Rescue, but I think the best part is the hot dogs!)
These are some pictures of some of my friends from previous baseball games!
