Our June Tuesday meeting was on a Thursday, and it almost didn't happen, as a ton of rain over the weekend left Bright House Field knee-deep in water on Monday. Fortunately, this minor-league ballpark has a major-league draining system, and we were able to go on with our meeting as planned.
We started off with the big news that our group is splitting in two! As of August 1, we'll have two groups in St. Pete, East and West. I will continue to be the AC of the East group, and David Caras has agreed to take on the role of AC for the West group. Marcy and I will miss everyone going off to the West group, but I know Dave will do a great job!
This was also the first meeting for new puppy Maggie, raised by new raisers Katie & Jeff.
Threshers games offer a wealth of great exposures for our puppies. You can walk completely around the field, crossing a pedestrian bridge, passing a lawn where there are always kids throwing baseballs, and going by a kids' play area where there are pitches being thrown and hit plus other unique sounds. There are often team mascots out and about, there's the team store (for when you need an air-conditioned break), and there are all those great-smelling concession stands. And oh yeah, there's also a baseball game. Plenty to do, and a nice, relaxing, fun place to do it. Too bad our group photographer (yours truly) didn't get any of it on film –er, pixels.
