Sally loves Jazz's toys and for the most part, Jazz could care less. She's not really that toy driven. She doesn't get to see Sally as much as she used to - my niece's classes changed this semester, so Jazz only sees her when Ash is on break.
lingmorton - that's a Puppia harness and I had it embroidered by a friend of mine who has an embroidery business. I'm realy hoping that B&G comes out with one similar. I need a harness that soft for her to wear (nearly all the time), but can stand up to having to hold Jazz's body weight when she is having issues with other dogs.
hehe that's some hint, LJ You and Jesse are going to hunt me down pretty soon if I don't get a mock-up done!
I love seeing playful Jazz! I have a soft spot for her because she reminds me so much of Mika (formerly known as Chloe). I agree with Romi - she's looking quite toned!
Too cute! I love the 'you are getting sleepy' part. We do that to Bella all the time!
Jazz seemed to really tolerate Sally well. It is so nice to see her get some play time in. Even if it was only for a few minutes... And how in the world does she not run into the kitchen as soon as she hears the fridge open? :-P
Casey - the "you are getting sleepy" usually puts her straight out - it's so funny (works on kids too), but Sally kept bumping her. So she couldn't focus on going to sleep - it's what we do every night. I am typically the person who feeds her something that comes out of the fridge, so if I'm not opening the door, she knows she isn't getting anything from there. The kids feed her kibble, so if she had heard the pantry door open, she would have been off the bed like a shot.
BTW, she had been playing for about 5 minutes before I thought about videoing the encounter, so bad LJ on that one.
Today was Bark in the Park at Turner Field. It was also my niece's birthday. Since she was 4, we've taken in a ballgame together for her birthday (she's 20 now). I'm a huge fan and so is she. Jazz was exceptional. The loud band, music, announcements, and fireworks didn't faze her at all. I used my sling for her when we came in and she loved it. She was so chill that she even walked around for a little bit. There were dogs all around us and not even a growl. She sat in her seat most the time and watched the game - I swear!

The Gwinnett Braves (our AAA team) is supposed to do one, too. The ATL Braves do 2 a year - one in May & one in September. Today's game was perfect. There was a nice wind, our seats were in the shade. Everybody was really conscious of making sure that all the dogs had plenty of room. The Wag-a-lot folks gave away lick-a-lots to all the dogs and the ushers were constantly coming by with ice for the water bowls.
Jazz looks happy to be in the hubub. How warm was it out?.... It looked like you had a great day that was not too hot.
Around here by the time they have a baseball game that allow pets it is sweltering so I won't take the dogs. Usually the stadium is twice as hot as outside in the field.
It was about 76, but the was a great breeze, plus the shade, so it worked out. We had to leave after the 7th inning to pick-up my other niece and nephew, but it was just a great day to be at the ballpark.
Somehow I missed that completely, although I'm not sure Lucy or Joey would do particularly well there. Joey would probably be over stimulated and cowering in a corner and Lucy would probably try to lick up all the sticky beer that has been spilled on the floor for years. :-)
I was really impressed - they did a great job in everything being clean - they had a floor squeegee machine that cleaned the common areas and they had pressure washed the seating areas where the dogs were.
Wow, that is awesome! I would love if the Red Sox did something like that. I will have to look to see if Pawtucket or Portland does a Bark in the Park. Miso and Sake would LOVE to wear their baseball gear.
A lot of the major teams do a Bark in the Park - I know Nylabone is involved with a couple of them - I wish that they were involved here in ATL. BTW, Jazz & Sally's Baseball gear were courtesy of The Pet Kitchen. We got several compliments on their attire - they were also featured on the big screen.
I was really worried about noise. At Turner Field, there are Coca-cola cannons that fire off fireworks every time a homerun is hit. Our seats were right beside the cannons - I've never prayed before for no homeruns to be hit, but I did yesterday. I laughed at a basset that was a couple of rows above us - every time music would play, he'd start baying...which then set off a bunch of dogs.
BTW, I meant list the different animals that Jazz was called: Fox Husky Spitz Eskimo Minkita (I'm assuming someone's version of mini Akita) Cheba Nanu Shitsi Ebu Shabi Abu
Tons of people took pics of her - Anthony (niece's BF) asked if Jazz was a rock star cause everyone (it seemed) had to take a pic of her.

Jazz is SO pretty!
Looks like a good time, too! Sally's a cute pup!

And tell Anthony that YES, Jazz is a rock star. Hehe.
Kristin - very cool - hope it goes as well as it did for us! Can't wait to see the pics.
