Jake as #28, Buster Nosey!
So Jake donned his catcher’s gear and we saddled up for the hour+ ride to San Francisco and AT&T Park for Dog Days of Summer.
Jake hung out with 500 or so other dogs outside of the stadium, some big, some small, all well-behaved.
Waiting for the judges…
He paraded around the ball field with his dad:
Jake can always hear my voice! In Left Field.
He had his own reserved seat in the bleachers along with all the other dogs, but he chose to lay on the cement at our feet. It was a hot day, or a relatively hot day for San Francisco, so we kept him wet, even poured water on the cement so he could stay wet. Nobody minded when he shook off, spraying water everywhere. We bought him a hot dog, which we ended up eating. He kissed a couple of little kids because they love him and he loves them. But by the fifth inning he’d had it. He stood up and said, “Let’s go home.”
It was okay. We’d had enough Dog Days. It was fun, but it was a long day for all the dogs. Chances are we won’t do it again, but we can say we did it once!
And the Giants won. Amazing, I know. My losing streak is over — this is the first game I’ve attended in two years that we haven’t lost. Jake made all the difference!
SOunds like a day of fun!
Lovely dog, Julia. These are the kind of events that keep us sane. Need those breaks from writing. So, are we going to get some dog stories?
That is so cool! I love it. Go Jake!
Yes all, Jake had a fun day! A little unusual but exciting!
How fun. Love the pic of Jake looking for you:)
I know Jake doesn’t care, but I’m sorry to see your Giants on the ropes. Pretty hard to repeat great seasons.
Sounded like a fun thing to try. I can’t believe HE didn’t eat the hot dog and the Giants won! Amazing!
It was fun - kind of a long day but fun. I think he wanted mustard, onions and relish on the hotdog. And yes, it is amazing when the Giants win - like a miracle!
Thanks, Tim. I try to avoid watching…
Hi Sandra - he’s looking right at me!
Go Jake! I can’t believe he didn’t eat the hot dog. lol
Yeah, Amber - I thought he might eat the hot dog but he doesn’t eat much at home either…
It looked like a wonderful day out! Glad Jake enjoyed it.
It was a good day. Thanks, Anny.
Jake give new and improved meaning to “out in left field”-he really did hear your voice! Fun pictures, and I especially approve of him “speaking up” and telling you when it was time to go home!
Yes he did, Marylin! He stands up for himself.
I go on vacation for 5 days and I miss 3 posts. Oh dear.
Memo to self……coordinate calendar with Julia and Jake!
Wondered where you were, Roberta!
