WASHINGTON (AP) — The dog days of summer arrived Saturday at Nationals Park.

Bruce, a 21-month-old golden retriever, fetched a bat during a ceremony Saturday before the Washington Nationals’ 4-3 loss to the Miami Marlins as part of a Pups in the Park promotion. He retrieved bats the last two seasons with the Rochester Red Wings, Washington’s Triple-A affiliate.

Bruce, wearing a bandana with an “MLB debut” patch he received when he arrived at the stadium, was presented a commemorative bat. He then took a circuitous route from the dugout toward first base after Nationals reliever Zach Brzykcy dropped the bat in foul territory before the bat dog collected his quarry to the delight of a crowd wowed by his work and enthusiasm.

Our golden retriever safely delivered her first litter of 5 puppies today, and she looks exhausted for it. Slightly stressful moment when she was scared of the first one, but after a little encouragement she attached and bonded with it and is now doing an excellent job of nursing them.

(My last post was misunderstood, so I'd just like to clarify a bit)

This isn't really a bad behavior that needs correcting or anything like that, I just find it really hilarious. My dog acts absolutely pathetic to the point where it makes me laugh. He starts staring me down about an hour beforehand. If I try and pet him he tells me no, he doesn't want any pets, yet keeps on being as close (and annoying!) as possible. He will put his head on me, paws on me, anything he can to let me know he's starving, to DEATH!!!

So, how does your dog act when he knows it's dinnertime and you just won't feed him already?
