Who Let The Dogs In?

Canines at Shea Stadium were sporting blue and orange tonight, showin' some signature doggie loyalty to the New York Mets.

The game was a nail-biter as the Metsters tried to obliterate the Phillies' smug mugs and erase all memory of their previous sweep (oh, I cringe, I cringe). I watched the game from my couch at home, hoping they'd show more shots of the cute dogs in the crowd who were happy to sit in the stands, tails wagging, no matter what was going on at the plate. We should look to these furry wise ones to learn the meaning of a true fan.

Four paws up to the Mets and the North Shore Animal League for hosting Dog Night at Shea. Tickets for the poochies were 5 dollars (part of the proceeds went to the shelter). I know that lots of water and space were provided, and the dogs looked comfy as can be from what I saw on TV. I didn't hear anything about how their..er..bathroom needs were accommodated. If you know, fill me in!

By the way, we went into extra innings. For us, that meant additional heart failure and panic attacks. For the dogs, it meant more time to sneak fallen crackerjacks from underneath the seats. If you must know, we lost, and only the four-legged ones in the crowd left the stadium happy.
