Dog Day at the Metrodome

Last night, we brought Jeff to Dog Day at the Metrodome. From 6:00 to 9:00 dogs were allowed to roam the concourse off leash.

Here's Jeff with Fran Tarkenton:

There were lot of small dogs there, but a fair amount of larger dogs. There were only a handful of dogs bigger than Jeff.

Dog Day at the Dome isn't a great event if you are looking for real exercise for you dog. Jeff did very little running. But Jeff was very tired after an hour and a half of a constant supply of new dogs, new smells and new people. He socialized a lot and sniffed a lot of butts.


As for us, it was an okay event. We ran into a lot of people we knew. It is weird to walk the hallways of the Metrodome watching out for dog pee and poop. We cleaned up the first time Jeff peed on something, but quickly realized it was a lost cause because there was urine all over the place. A lot of people didn't feel the need to clean up after their dog's poop, which sucked. The event was run by the same people who do the Rollerdome, and they provided bags, cleaner, hand sanitizer and napkins, but people ignored this I guess. Also, standing next to the garbages at the end of the night was rough too, as the smell could be bad. The smell really got to CJ, who had to step out.

There will be two more Dog Day at the Dome on February 3 and March 3, both from 6-9pm. The cost is $1.00 a dog and parking is free in the Metrodome Lot.
