Bout time!

Man! I thought my mom would never let me post again! Well, now she has to pay the consiquences cuz I got a lot to say. Starting with my most recent contraversy, is he a dog or bear. I think I'm finally convinced he's a dog. I finally met him a few weeks ago. We went in for my mom's Bible study, and all the sudden y'all, all I saw was white comin' at me! Shoot my whole life flashed before my eyes! I'm like, ah! That's it! The end of the line for Reba! Winston you can have all my toys, Matilda, whatever he doesn't want you can have I guess, ma, I'm goin' to the rainbow bridge, good luck findin' another dog to lead you around as good as I do! I thought all this till finally I realized the white thing had stopped and was sniffing me. Turns out his name is cody, and he laughed at me when I asked if he was a dog or bear. Just laughed. Then his mom took him away. O I better not get wind that my readers are calling me a scairdy cat either. I'll come beat the lot of ya up I mean it. I was only, only tryin' to protect my mom from the giant white animal named Cody. I saw him again earlier this week, and this time we talked for longer. He really is a nice animal. I've decided to call him that. Though like I said, I'm almost sure he a dog now. Only thing was, there was another dog there visiting named Louie. He was so rude! Mom kept tellin' me to be nice to him, but he was so obnoctious I finally yelled at him to shut up and he finally got the hint. Shoot I mean it leave me alone!
Next topic, Mom says I got new readers, so here's a welcome to y'all, thanks for reading.
Mom's been keepin' me real busy this week. We been goin' pretty much non stop every day. So I've been a good girl for her. And wanna know how she repays me? O the injustice! She about leaves me at Pizza hut! I ain't lyin'! This ain't one of those, Reba exajoratin' stories, this is for real! We get up to leave right, mom tells me to get up, so I do, then she gets up, and walks off. Just leaves me there right at the table. Guess she thought she had my leash around her arm, but she didn't. I think I even heard her say Reba heel. Heel what? The table? Ok sure ma. The counter was only around the corner, and I hear her gettin' ready to pay. Then I hear her say, "Where's my dog"? O my goodness! Y'all, my ma is so blond sometimes I mean it! My Karen came back around and picked up my leash and brought me to my mom. No ma, don't appologize to me! I'm mad at you now! Shoot! The stuff I put up with I tell ya. Well, I think that's it for now. I'm tired from my long day. After being almost left at Pizza hut, we went shopping at a few places, one being petco where mom wouldn't even let me sniff around and explore. Stupid humans. She did give me a bath today and between that and the rain we've been havin' for four days straight, I don't think I'll ever be dry again. Y'all behave, I'll be back sooner than later this time.

I don't get people

Hey there all,
Well, the last three days I been more busy than ever. Shoot I'm ready to go back to my mom's old job I mean it! Least there I could just lay there and sleep in the quiet all day. O no. Mom's got me out and about doin' some crazy stuff.
On Tuesday we did something that I been through before. It was four years ago and it was a nightmare. Bob jones goes crazy! I mean, screamin', yellin', even paintin' themselves different colors, puttin' stuff over the lights to make 'em look funny, lots of loud noises, and crouds! O my goodness the crouds! The first time I went through this I was a much younger dog and it freeked me out! Well this time, I did my best to just lay there and ignore everything and everyone while Winston and Matilda tried to do the same. They did better than I did my first time. I was glad that was over. There was even fireworks at the end of the day. Shoot those things kind of freek me out. It's like fire's fallin' from the sky! Matilda shook like a leaf through that. I gotta hand it to her though, she stayed laying down and didn't try and bolt. I must admit, my first experience with fireworks, I tried to bolt. Mom had to hold on to me really tightly.
Then yesterday, mom gets up early again, we leave and hed to this place a long drive away, but mom rode with total strangers! I'm like dood are these people kidnapping my mom? Who are these people anyways. A few I remembered, but it was so random! We went to a meeting, that was cool cuz I got to lay next to Fellow. He's a black lab also, and he's from guiding eyes. So we got to know each other. We compared training and had a great time. He huge! I mean I think he bigger than Winston. After that the humans wanted to go eat again so we guided them out to a restaurant. There were other blind people in our group with canes, and some sighted people that helped them all. After the humans ate, and we dogs got some water, we went back and mom and the others began going around looking at things on tables. Well I wasn't interested in that. I smelled dogs in that room, and couldn't see any of them. So my mission became to find them. I did see two right out in the open, I don't know why they were there, they weren't dog guides cuz they weren't in harness and they weren't the right breeds. I wanted to say hi, but mom cracked me though. Shoot ma! You're over there sayin' hi to people, why can't I! I saw a few other service dogs, one came out from under a table. I'm like shoot where she come from! From then on I was tryin' to look under the tables for more dogs! Mom praised me for bein' good though cuz though I got excited, I listened to mom really well. We left there and when we dropped off some of the people in our group, that's when I decided enough is enough, I wanna be a butt head! I been a good girl, and in harness so much in the last two days. And I'm starving because it's after 5 and mom ain't fed me yet. So I got all excited and pulled so my leash rubbed hard against mom's sunburnt arm. Oo that made her mad. I don't know what sun burns are, but my mom's skin is darker, and hot, and I can tell it hurts her. Well, I didn't think of that, All I knew was, shoot I'm hungry, I'm tired of being a good dog, I'm out in the woods, I wanna sniff and I'm gunna be a butt head! Mom cracked me really hard and told me to straighten up. Shoot ma! Well we finally got back and mom finally fed me after which I calmed down considerably. We went to Bible study, and there he was again, the mysterious giant white dog or bear or whatever he be. He cries and barks like a dog, smells like a dog, but I still am not sure and no one will let us close enough for me to find out for sure. Come on ma! Just once! I'll never ask or cry when I see him again! Mom and I are both exhausted. For once mom didn't get up before it got light today. Could it be she's takin' it easy today? Well, I better get outa here. This has been a long entry. Hope you all are bein' good.
