I've had a dog for the majority of my life. When I was born, my parents already had a dog. It passed after a few years, but we got another then later, another. I may have experienced a total of 5 years of life without a dog. My wife and I recently bought an Australian Shepherd/Poodle puppy. He's about 6 months old now, and he has watched several sporting events on TV with me. We haven't gone to a Bark in the Park yet (he's not trained enough in my opinion to handle it). However, what follows is what I believe is his take on sports and what a trip to Bark in the Park will be like.
Hey, where are we going? I see you've got my leash in your hand. Usually we go for walks with it. But you seem like you're headed for the garage...
Whoa, wait. I don't like the garage. That big metal thing with the wheels is in there. It's loud and I got sick that one time. I mean, we go to the pet store in there, but we also go to the vet. So this is a toss-up. Nope. Nope. Not going. Just leave me in the yar...shoot, you picked me up. OK fine.
Mom, where are we going? You guys are wearing that lighter shade of gray that's the same color as my Kong. Wait, is my Kong here?!?! It has peanut butter in it!!! Oh, it's not. Dang.
Oh, we're getting out? Where are we? This isn't the pet store or the vet. This place is big. There's lots of people! Oh, I very much like people. And! And! And! Look at all the other dogs that are here!
Hello friend! Oh, you don't want to play.
Hello friend! You're kinda big.
Hello friend! Oh, you've got another friend over there? OK.
Dad, where are we going? Oh, this is nice. Look at all that grass and dirt. Dad, can I play in the grass? That man has a stick. I think he wants to throw it. Nope. Gonna keep it. Oh, hey, other dogs are ov...IS THAT A BALL?!?! Dad you didn't say there'd be balls here. Can I chase it? C'mon. Pleeeease.
Oooh, water bowl. Thanks, I forgot I was thirsty. Oh hey, another dog. Do you want to be friends? You do! Let's wrestle is this narrow area full of beer bottles and peanut shells. Woohoo! Wrestle, play, grrr, growl... DAD, we were playing. We weren't gonna hurt each other.
AAAAAHHHHH what was that noise? You know I don't like loud noises. It was hot too. Very hot. Dad, what's PEET-ZAH? And why is everyone yelling it? Whoa, is that grass? Can we run on the grass. Never mind, I'm gonna munch on these peanuts shells.
What? We're going somewhere else? But I was just starting to enjoy this. Hey! Other dogs! Lots of people! Friends, friends? No? Oh, we're walking out? Mom, can I play with the man with the saxophone? I like that noise. Ah, nuts. OK. Waaaaaait, not the car again!
I better not get sick again guys. You know I hate this stuff. Boy, I could go for some more of those peanut shells. Did you get one of those sticks, Dad? I'm gonna nap for a minute.
ZzzzzZzzZZzzz
What? We're home? OK. Can we run in circles in the backyard for a little bit???
SWEEET!!!
*runrunrunrunrunrun*
Did I have fun at the what? Baseball game? What's a baseball game? We've been running in the backyard. Did we do something else today? I forget.
