Bittersweet post

Ok so this post is both good and bad. The good part is, I'm home again! O my crate! My toys! My crate! All the apples I can eat in the backyard! And did I mention my crate where mom gives me a cookie every night? Dasher ma givin' me carots! The gates? Awe man! Guess I'm still stuck behind gates blockin' the kitchen and dinin' room. Shoot! It's so good to be here again. My April and Winston are here too. I been wresslin' and playin' with Winston, watchin' him destroy his new wubba toy, my word Winston! Good thing mom hid mine from him. Shoot! We been workin' some too in a few stores. Some of them bein' a bit creepy. It's somethin' about this time of year. Humans like to dress up in scary lookin' stuff. And they go to stores to find the scary stuff. Well dressin' up's fine, but there's usually an isle with movin' things and people and that's just weird. They ain't real but they movin'. Winston about wets himself goin' in to those stores and I must admit it's pretty funny. But sometimes even I get creeped out. I got creeped out by a movin' scary lookin' woman today. Think she was a witch. Anyway, she moved and I about jumped out of my harness. Course mom thought it was funny. O sure ma let's trap you in a room full of flies and then we'll see what's funny. My mom's afraid of flies. All bugs really. One lands on her and she about has a seizure I mean it.

So now on to tellin' y'all about my worst day ever. That'd be today. Actually, that witch incident happened today too. So this afternoon, Winston and I were outside havin' a ball eatin' apples. Mom goes to all her festivals, I got an apple festival right out in the yard all for me. Anyway mom ended that fun and called us inside. Shoot! I want those apples! Even if they do give me runny poops! I don't gotta clean it up! That's the humans job. So for the rest of the afternoon, I tried and tried to get back outside. First I just tried to sneak out when Dasher got let out. He always gets let in and out. Mom caught me though. Allright, I gotta think harder. Dasher came back in and just as he jumped up on the couch to take a nap, I had an idea. I'll get Dasher all riled up again so the humans will let him out. I got up and flew to the door yellin' dad's home! Well the first part worked. Got Dasher all riled up, he started barkinn', so mom lets him out. Shoot! I wasn't close enough to the door! I missed it again! Fine! I'll just sit here and sulk. I will get out to those apples. Well, Dasher came in again, and I sort of gave up for the time bein'. A few minutes later, my April says, dad's home! Well All three of us popped up and ran to the front door. Dasher starts barkin' again. Again he gets let out, and once again, not only is it another false alarm, dad wasn't really home, but also I was again too far from the back door. You gotta be kiddin' me! My April was just messin' with me too cuz she then takes Dasher in to the dinin' room, where there's another back door that I can't get too cuz there's those dumb gates up. So I now have to watch Dasher go out and in playin' with my April. Back door's wide open. I needed a nap after all that. When I woke up, I thought things would have improved. I went out to check out what my April was doin' in the kitchen. She was puttin' sausage and cheese in bowls. Well she comes at me, and dropps a bowl. Sausage and cheese come flyin' at me! Hallaluia I've died and gone to heaven! Reba leave it! Excuse me? You did not just throw a ton of food at me and then tell me to leave it. Tell me that did not just happen. O yeh, it did. My April picks up the cheese, blows it off and eats it right in front of my face. I have never been so upset in my whole life. Not even the time in trainin' when they offered us sausages and we weren't supposed to take them. Well what's any self respecting lab to do. Yeh I took it. Got punished but I didn't care. Got the food. No this was far worse! I wouldn't even go in my April's room tonight. And when I did, I snored as loud as I could, and tried as hard as I could to stink them out. I'm in my crate now, and calmed down. O I also got a bath this week and that was a good thing. I really needed one. And mom's been puttin' medicine in my ear twice a day. Stuff from the vet. I think the infection is finally gone. Mom's not gettin' as much black stuff out of my ear so it must be gettin' better. Mom's puttin' yogurt in my food again too. I love that stuff. Now give me more of it! I deserve it after my day today. Well, you all be good. I'll be back soon.

Reba the dog.
