A’s 5, Yankees 4

This was a hard game to watch, so I slept. I did see Travis Buck hit a triple, then score to win the game. My favorite players are the ones who run real hard and never give up. That’s how I play. This Buck guy could be one of my favorite players. He has a nice short name, too.

That ball I missed yesterday morning? Chavez had the same play, and he caught it! It must help having hands.

Friday

I was in pretty good form this morning – made some good catches. I was seeing the ball real well (did I get that right?).

I tried for one, spinning around and falling down. Missed it. One person said ‘Don’t be embarrassed, Dave’. You should know, dogs don’t get embarrassed. We always try hard, so no reason to. Cats get embarrassed, but will never admit it.

Yankees are in town. I can smell them. It’s not a good smell.

It was windy last night.  I was scared.  It was hard to sleep, but I finally got to sleep upstairs.  The noises were scarier than that mean cat, Mac.

A’s win

The A’s scored another 2 whole runs and won their first home game. I don’t think Ellis should have been charged with an error. That was a really hard ball to catch, and I should know. That’s my favorite kind, over the shoulder, and I think that one would have gone off my nose.

We were watching Baseball Tonight the other night. Well, actually I was trying to sleep, but it wasn’t easy because that show is so loud! Baseball doesn’t need a sound track.

Day game tomorrow, so I have to go to bed.

A’s home opener

and me and Hal had to stay home alone. I’ve never been to a game. I heard some dogs got to go last year. But then I would want to play ball or fight with the other dogs, so I guess I see why I can’t go. I did go to the A’s offices a couple of times. I got to play ball in a hallway. I tore the ball up, too.

The A’s had runners on base last night, but only T. Buck drove one in. Hmm… That sounds familiar.

Saw Sadie at the park this morning.

We didn’t get up until 9:17am. I don’t know why. We ran barking outside, but again nothing was there. One of these days…

We saw Angel at the park today.  She is nice, but a little pushy with our people.  I miss Sadie.

Fun

This morning the men brought back the couch.  It looks and smells really different, but I am pretty sure it is the same one we accidentally destroyed.  It’s not destroyed anymore.  I don’t think we are supposed to touch it.

We got a new toy!  We got a new toy!  We got a new toy!  So exciting I did not watch much of the ballgame this evening.  A’s 4,  Angels 3.  Mr. Piazza hit a game-winning home run.  Piazza is almost like Pizza.  I would like pizza, if anyone would give me any.

I was thinking…why do the Angels wear red?  [I know dogs are supposed to be colorblind, but I don’t think that is true.]  Shouldn’t the Angels be in white?  My favorite colors, after black, are green and gold.  My collar is green and gold.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Uncle Jim.  I miss him since he moved to the trees.  We will see him soon though. 

I don’t have a birthday since my sister Hal and I are “found” dogs.  Makes us kind of mysterious.  Our friend Sadie is like us.  We are all black, and kind of mysterious.  Our people like to think of what our lives were like before we were “found”.  We actually don’t care because we don’t remember.

Hope Uncle Jim has a nice day.

Your friend,

Dave

Dave’s first blog entry

1101_hal_dave_walk_3_web.jpg  Hi, my name is Dave. I am a dog. I’m the one sitting in the picture.  The other is my little sister Hal. 

Today I have a limp. My foot hurts. I’m watching the A’s beating the Mariners. One of my people just dribbled her drink. But I’m not laughing cause I do that all the time.  Final score: A’s 9, M’s 0.  Mr. Harden pitched so well the fielders were bored.  I know I would have been, even as the only fielder (my usual position).  I like playing ball.  It’s one of my favorite things.

Stupid Giants are doing fireworks, celebrating their 2nd lose of the season.  Now I have to sleep in the bathroom until they stop.  Grrrrrrr.

Your friend,

Dave
