Bark in the Park

One game a year, the NY Mets open a section of seating to dogs!  Proceeds from ticket sales benefit the North Shore Animal League.  We have been waiting very patiently, and watching the weather, and yesterday morning we were off to see the Mets take on the San Francisco Giants!  We were told to be at our gate by 12pm so we could go on a doggie parade around the warning track of the field.

So we got there.  And waited...


and met some serious Mets fans...



and waited....


and finally we got in!  And look who is hosting the ceremonies...Ron Darling!  (He was a Mets pitcher in the 80s).  I got within arm's length of him!  


Look at all the people who came out with their dogs!



Whoa!  We hung out and waited for the parade...




Here we go!





And then we were shown to our seats, but not before Finn met the other goldens at the park.


Finn laid down in the shade under our seats, and we got to enjoy the game!




And the Mets won!  5-4!  We were shocked!

Thanks to Natural Balance for our cool loot too!

  10. WOW, what an awesome idea for the Mets to do. I love that proceeds go towards a good cause and my favorite is that there is a doggy parade- so cool! What could be better than baseball with your dog?

  15. Finn....
    Oh my goodness!! That sounded like so much fun!! We are huge baseball fans around here, and my favorite team is the Boston Red Sox!! Yes.... I did notice your owner's hat!! ;)
    I am not sure if my BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE Beagle/German Shepherd cross, Rose, would have enjoyed it, though.... Too many people, dogs, tempting "human" foods, and fans screaming!! ;op

  17. Wow! What a full day YOU had Finn!! It would take us about eight hours to drive to the stadium, but it would have been fun to be in a parade along with the other dogs! And you even got a bunch of cool treats!!! Paws UP! xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
