About a month ago, I told you about Layla the 13-year old lab that was retiring as the “Bat Dog” for the Clearwater Threshers baseball team. So, when one retires, you bring in the understudy to make her debut.

Introducing Lily! Let’s just say it didn’t go as planned, but it was hilarious to watch! (Wait til’ the end, it’s the best!)
