LGM and a Special DPF

Mets win their eighth straight, the fifteenth of their last 16 games. The Mets are now only a half game behind the Washington Nationals in the NL East and the Wild Card. 

I wasn't happy with Mickey Callaway's decision to start Wilson Ramos instead of Tomas Nido with Noah Syndergaard pitching, but it worked. Everyone is contributing; a different look each night.

The Mets now have guaranteed a series win against a contender. This weekend they're not just beating up on the bad teams.

Let's Go Mets!

The weather was beautiful for last night's Dog Park Friday.  We had a relatively small group of seven people and five dogs. Last night was the debut of a five-month puppy Ellis and her human Nick. 

Ellis sparked things with her puppy energy. We let Lola semi-loose on a bright orange long leash. Ellis was intrigued and kept trying to nibble the leash. Poor Lola would suddenly be yanked around despite Nick's efforts. Later Indy was intrigued by a toy that Ellis had. Chris had never seen her play so much before. 

Ellis and Katie had the most fun, chasing each other around. Lola even joined in. That made us happy. Lola loves to sniff on walks, nibble some stuffed animals, and may take a sock or two from us, but she's never been interested in chasing a ball. We've only seen her run with other dogs two or three times. Jeff thinks she gets intimidated by bigger dogs: Katie and Ellis are about her size. It was fun to watch the three of them. I hope that the inspiration of Ellis will continue.
