CPR 9/4/2012 HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION -- LADY EMMA

The highlight of Lady Emma's summer had to be her excursion to the Thomas Dodd Stadium in Norwich, Connecticut, where she participated in the Connecticut Tigers "Bark at the Park".  Lady and her Master and Mistress had front row seats, right over the Tigers dugout, but Lady was disappointed that she was not asked to throw out the first ball.  Apparently, the CT Tigers management had considered asking Lady to throw out the first ball, but after they acquainted themselves with Lady's history of ball relinquishment, decided against the move, since it is well known that Lady likes to chase after thrown objects, but doesn't like, once having fetched them, to give them up, preferring to run with the thrown object away from whomever tossed it. So the CT Tigers astutely  realized that if they gave Lady Emma the first pitch to throw out, she would run with the ball into one of the luxury suites and hop on a couch and refuse to give it up to the catcher. Poor Lady had to be satisfied instead with singing the Star Spangled Banner, which was the highlight of her summer.  Well, that, and the recording contract she landed ffrom the record company cur sitting in the second row, who spend most of the game boldly admiring Lady's pipes.
