Generic Black Dogs

We watch baseball on TV every day.  I like it.  Last night the Rockies-Brewers game was on.  Top of the 9th, Houston Street pitching, 2 on, score was 5-2 Rockies.  The people said wouldn’t it be funny if he allowed a home run to the batter, Jason Kendall to tie it up. And guess what… he did!  It’s funny because Kendall hardly ever hits home runs – he hit just 3 in the 2.5 yrs he played for the A’s (my favorite team).  And because Street got traded by the A’s for his tendency to cough it up!  So it was very funny.  We all laughed.

It’s almost the end of real baseball.  The extra stuff after the season is too fluffy.  Wouldn’t it be nice to just have the Yankees play the Dodgers (or whoever ends up with the best record) for a week and be done with it?  We wouldn’t have to hear a month of that annoying background noise on Fox.  It hurts my ears.

Hal came up with another plan.  She told me to walk really slow when I’m on the leash and act real tired.  Then I would get let off the leash so I can go sniff and pee on stuff.  Of course it works!  Hal is good.

It rained some yesterday.  This morning it was nice and cold and foggy.  We like it cold.  It’s better than hot.

Hello,

I haven’t been talking to you for awhile because I’ve been a little bummed.

Last summer, I had a problem with my back, and it made me not walk so good.  I think they called it FCE.  It was not fun.  I had to go a long way to the vet a bunch of times.  A couple of times my people left me there.  I don’t like that.

Anyway, since I don’t like to dwell on stuff like this, it looks like I am retired from ball playing!  My front elbows hurt, and my back leg doesn’t work like it used to.  I don’t know how to play ball softly.  I always play full speed.  So no more ball.  I also am not allowed to chase anything.  I go in the car every so often and get a shot.  I like going in the car.  I don’t feel the shot much.

Lately I have been feeling better.  So that’s good.  Hal is fine.  We have been getting less food for quite a while.  They tell us it is good for us.  I don’t know about that, but it makes eating really exciting, because we are always hungry.  I feel a little lighter than before.  They say that is good.

My favorite baseball team has not done very well this year.  I think they are in extended spring training for next year.  We still watch them.  I like the one who runs all the time!  Rajai.

Our people went away for a few days.  We stayed with Uncle Jim.  We like him.  This time he let us sleep in his room on the last night!  Our plan worked.  Hal said it would.  She is good with plans.

I am hearing talk about a “new dog”.  Wonder what that means.

Your friend,

Dave
