Bark in the Park

On Sunday, we took Earl to the Gwinnett Braves game for Bark in the Park. It's a monthly event for the four-legged friends, and human tickets are only $7. We met Tate and Patrick there, and they brought Maci, their dachshund, who even wore a Braves bandana. 

It was pretty warm for the furry critters, so Earl was quick to find a tent with plenty of shade and a fan nearby. 

    

At times, it looked as if he was keeping track of what happened on the field. 

Of course, he's never met a human or other animal that he didn't want to meet, talk to, etc. So his friends were Cricket, another basset hound, Maci, top right, and Blue, a Great Dane, below. (Kristi has always been a fan of Great Danes and even would like to have one someday. Yes, when a backyard is available.) 

                                      

Most of the dogs chased the shade, as Earl and Maci below found the shade from a light pole. 

It was a big day for the little guy, and he was asleep before we left the parking lot. 

Below, I played around with the Instagram app on my phone, and got some different shades and edges of Little E. 

Looking awfully regal, here. 

He loves the La-Z-Boy, and is pretty good about not getting on the couch.  

But his favorite is the ottoman, which Kristi calls his "summer bed." The only trouble is he's almost too long for it.
