Dog Day Returns to CCP on April 18th!

While my 11 year old Weimaraner Wally will be attending his 4th Ironpig game I would like to take a moment to share what I’ve experienced in the past.

– If you cannot control your dog, leave them at home. We know you mean well but dogs can cause injuries to others and themselves. Having control of a dog means the dog does what you intend it to do, not vice versa.

– If you’re dog has EVER shown aggression to another person or another dog, leave them at home. How many times did I hear, “He’s never done that before! Well, he did bite the mailman, the neighbor kid and cousin Bill at the reunion..”

– Don’t feed your dog chili before the ball game. This goes for ballpark food as well. Those concrete pavements are grooved to provide traction and serve equally well to trap, well something that ought not to be trapped there. We had a dog relieve himself behind us last year and the smell took about 2 or 3 good rains to completely wash it away. Bring some dog treats and be sure to share!

– Dog days are extremely popular! Last game I believe close to 300 dogs showed up. Keep in mind that dogs are social and want to talk, sniff and play. You most likely won’t get a lot of time to watch the game.

And for your entertainment, I found this video of a dog day gone wrong.

    Do not forget the Greensboro Grasshoppers “bat dog”, Master Yogi Berra, who was ejected from a game last season for making an unauthorized deposit on the field in between innings last year!

    and other articles are all over the internet from April, 2009.
