Bark at the Park is a popular event for many MLB teams where some attendees get to bring their dogs to the baseball games with them. At a recent event in Oakland, the A's were playing the Seattle Mariners. J.P. Crawford hit a home run for the Mariners, and when cameras cut to him after the play, they found him playing with a Husky in the dugout.
The dog belonged to one of the cameramen at the game. The Mariner's shortstop has his own huskies at home, so he was very excited to shower the pup with love. Maybe the pup brought the visiting team good luck because they won 7 to 2! | | Wet Weather Gear Upgrades for Your Dog
It's that time of year again when the days get shorter, and the rain and snow return. That doesn't mean you need to hide inside. You can still enjoy daily walks with your dog. But you might want to upgrade your gear so your pup stays comfortable and warm.
Some dogs hate being out in the rain, so try one of these items to help make their walks more enjoyable. - Adjustable dog umbrella with a leash: This umbrella will keep your dog nice and dry in the rain.
- Reversible hooded dog raincoat: The reversible options give you multiple colors and patterns for your pup.
- Dirty dog shammy towel: It is very helpful to have a good towel to dry off their paws and clean them up.
- Waterproof dog rain boots: Help keep their feet dry with some boots that will keep the water out. Boots are also helpful in the summer months to keep feet protected from hot pavement.
- Dog paw balm: The balm helps provide protection from salt, snow, and sand by coating the pads with a wax barrier.
- Portable dog paw washer: Keep your pup's feet clean even when you're on the go. Store this in your car and add just a bit of warm water to clean their paws after hikes or playdates.
- Waterproof dog collar: Many collars aren't meant to get wet, and might even smell after getting wet or dirty. Having a waterproof collar will help with those issues.

Visit TrustedHousesitters here! | | The Importance of Microchips for Dogs
Microchips are a technology used to help quickly identify dogs that might have escaped from their yards or gotten loose from their collars. These microchips are roughly the size of a grain of rice and made of biocompatible material. The placement is permanent between the dog's shoulder blades and feels similar to a shot.
Each microchip has a unique number; vets can easily scan them and receive information about the owners and dog. Some registries even have a preauthorized financial amount if the dog is found injured and needs medical attention.
There are two types of microchips; some shelters and vet offices don't have scanners that work on all types. It would be even more beneficial if there were just one registry for the entire country, but that isn't the case yet.
If your dog is microchipped, make sure to keep the information updated if you move or change phone numbers. You can verify that your local shelter uses a scanner that works on your dog's microchip. If not, you can call the company and ask them to donate one. | | | Image courtesy of Dog Time. | | Check out our new dog poll!
