Moving means, I get to be a butthead.

Hey everyone,

Well first let me start by tellin' y'all that we are back at Dasher mom and dad's house. And I think we here to stay for a while because they literally packed up everything and brought it here. I saw the traylor they brought full of our stuff. And today, I watched as mom unpacked things and moved them in to the room we usually stay in when we just visit. She even set up my crate. Yep, I think we ain't goin' back to our house. Well, in all this excitement, I've noticed two things, and both yield the same results. I win basically. First example. Humans are loadin' and unloadin', us dogs are in the way tryin' just to figure out what in the world is goin' on. "Go on Reba! Go lay down!" Score! I'm free to search the house for food. Mainly Dasher food. But my Dasher mom sometimes leaves out snacks too. Example 2. Humans are loadin' and unloadin', barely even noticing that us dogs are around, sweet again! means I can sneak around and eat whatever I want and they don't even know it! Shoot I've eaten so much junk in the last several days, they don't even know how much I've eaten. They caught me a few times and yelled at me, but I don't care! Shoot I already got the food. So note to all you dogs, movin' ain't all that stressful as you first may think. Humans are clueless durin' this time. Take advantage of every opportunity here. They're runnin' around like mad things while you can do whatever you want, and every once in a while they hug you and say, "It's gunna be ok, I know you're stressed and don't understand." Yeh I understand one thing. Movin' means Reba gets more food. Shoot even since I been here, they still loadin' and unloadin' while I been eatin' Dasher's food, playin' in the garden, and just bein' an all around butthead. I wasn't sure where the humans took our stuff too cuz I saw the traylor full, then I saw it empty. I told Winston, I bet those humans threw all that stuff away! They so wasteful! But I don't think they did. I think they stored it away somewhere. The trip home was long and I was not a good traveler this time. I wanted more room I mean it! I've gotten used to havin' a whole back seat to myself I mean it! Mom usually rides around with someone and I get their whole back seat! Well anyway, I'm spralled on the floor here in mom's room after mom took us for a walk and made me work when Winston didn't have too. I let her know I wasn't happy either. I wouldn't stay right. No I ain't doin' it. I don't care what you do I mean it! Be happy I got you through the walk in one piece. It is great to be here I must say. Especially cuz mom finally got my toys out, and I get to play with my Winston again. Now if mom will just bring me my blanket. She said she accidentally left it in storage today. I'm bout to leave her in storage I mean it! Y'all be good, I'll be back later with more updates.

Yep, we're leavin, and what in the world was that!

I'm back again folks. And as you can see by the title, yes, we're definitely goin' somewhere. Mom is really packin' everything. There ain't nothin' on our walls anymore, and the number of filled boxes keeps increasin'. She was tapin' them up yesterday. I don't remember her doin' that the last time we moved. She just carried them out and across the parking lot. This looks different. I don't know where we goin'. I'm glued to mom now. I mean, she took the birds and fish somewhere and didn't bring them back. What if I be next. I saw her pack up my stuff though along with hers. She asures me everything's gunna be ok and that I'm goin' with her. Better believe it ma! Shoot I'm on her like glue! I got to get out and do some work yesterday and I was so excited to be in harness! I don't think my tail stopped waggin' the whole time. I wish I knew where we were goin' though. Mom keeps sayin' stuff about Winston and Dasher. Maybe they comin' with my April and my Dasher mom and dad to help load up stuff? Good. Least I'll see Winston once more before we go off who knows where. Long as I'm with mom everything's ok.

Ok so y'all, I saw the freekiest thing today. My mom and I went back to our old work place, mom was askin' for boxes. Shoot woman you got enough to box up the world don't ya think? Anyways, we went in to her old bosses office. I been in there lots of times and he got heads all over his walls. Deer heads. First time I saw them I thought huh? Where the other half be and why he stuck way up there on the cielin'! I thought either he got some wicked long legs or someone's playin' a dirty joke. But I looked around the wall and didn't see the rest of him, and he wasn't movin'. Must be fake. But they sure smell real. Anyway, today y'all, I walk in and this thing is starin' at me. This head, bigger than me! I thought what on earth! So I go up to it, shoot ma I know I'm in harness but you gunna have to get over it I gotta figure out what this thing is! I stood up on my hind legs to get a better look and sniff. Mom pulled me back and made me sit. No ma! I don't wanna sit! That thing's got antlers almost as tall as you! I gotta make sure it ain't alive! I kept sniffin' and cryin' cuz mom wouldn't let me too close to it. I heard them say it was an elk head. Just the head? Shoot where the rest of him be? Humans are weird I mean it! Killin' animals and mountin' their heads on the wall. Well, they only seem to do it for deer and stufflike that, but still! So that was my excitement for the day. I take each day at a time round here. All I know is, mom's still got my crate up, and she puts me in it every night and gives me a cookie still. Gotta have some sense of security through this. Y'all behave yourselves, I'll write more when and if things settle down again.

Somethin's up.

Hey y'all.

I haven't posted in a while. Mostly it's cuz I been tryin' to figure out what on earth is goin' on around here. First my Rachel and Matilda left. That was real sad. I miss my Rachel. Matilda, well I might miss her just a bit. But the next day, my April and my Winston left too and they didn't even take me. So, I wondered what would happen next when all the sudden I noticed mom putting things in boxes. And then I saw her takin' pictures off the wall. Now for those of you who don't know, this has happened once in my life already with mom. She packed up everything, and moved to the next building. I wasn't too happy about this, but in time, I've come to like it here. Now she doin' it again? I don't get humans. So after I got over bein' mad at her for not lettin' me go where my Winston was goin', she packs me up and brings me over to Fonda's house. Cool! I got to play with Roxie and I thought I'd probably get lots of handouts from Alaina. She always good for handin' out free food. But mom left me there. All day! I knew after dinner that mom probably went to one of those places where she rides rides, screams her lungs out then can't talk normal for a week. Sure enough, the next day, Fonda brought me back to mom and mom's voice was not the same. Since then, it's just been more boxes, more packing, I can hardly walk around this place anymore. Mom had all the boxes stacked out in the hall, but this afternoon I saw her drag them all in again. Shoot ma! We already can't walk around here cuz of all the stuff. And she packed up my duckies and stuffed toys too! Shoot! I wanted to play with those! I can barely get to my crate in our room. I don't go in there often. Just to check on mom every now and then. I don't know where we're goin', but I thought I'd post here just to update since I haven't done so in a while. I'll probably be back when I figure out more of what's goin' on around here. Y'all be good until then.

Trip to the Dog Park

Hey everyone out there. Ok, first off, gotta say a welcome again, and this time, it's to a couple of cats. Yep, I met them in Florida. And even though they wouldn't come out and play with me, they told me they'd love to read my blog, so I had them added to it. So welcome kitties.

Ok, tonight the humans took us dogs to the dog park. Well there was a new member in our midst. A little puppy called Topez. She was just a young thing, all over us, but she was real nice. After the humans stuffed their faces, off we went. There were a ton of dogs there tonight. I was surprised cuz it was super hot out there. Shoot I hogged the water supply. I was like I'm black, I need the most water. I don't care that you're pantin' your head off, too bad I was here first! So that was that, then I wanted to harass a few of the dogs that came in. What are you doin' here. Excuse me you can't come in here. Funny thing is one believed me. Winston Matilda and I were all pickin' on this pitbull that was scared of it's own shadow. Ok Winston was concerned, Matilda wanted to play and I was instigatin'. There was this one dog though, shoot I finally had it with him. He was little, but he kept puttin' his front paws up on my side and just walkin' along sideways on his hind legs as I walked. Dude leave me alone! I finally yelled at him. Made mom mad cuz she fussed at me but I mean it! Get away! There were these cute little lab puppies too. They were the hit of the park for a while. Just the youngest little babies I've seen in a long time. Well, we finally got home and got more water, now we're all just crashed on the floor. Funny how a few hours can ware me right out!

Only other thing that went on this week was my mom went out lookin' for jobs again, and it was super hot that day too. I was pantin' a lot even though mom kept plenty of water in me. I got an apple that day too. That made my day. Well, I better go for now. I'll be back later.

I did it, and other news

Hey everyone, first I gotta welcome some new readers. So you know who you are, welcome, hope you like it here. Hope I don't offend you humans too much because I think y'all are dumb. Allright. on with the post. We're back in Greenville now. That vacation is over. Boy it was fun too. Man I ate so much stuff, most ok, but some not so good either. And even though I'm fightin' an ear infection, yes another one, it was all worth it. No, my ear don't hurt. Just kind of bothers me a bit. The last of our trip was just hangin' out really. I got to see my Mandy! She's one of the new readers of this thing. Shoot what she doin' in Florida! I saw her twice this week, and it took me a while to warm up to her again. Shoot she left Greenville! Me and her were good buds! And she up and leaves! She made up for it though when we went to her house, and I first got to harass her two cats. Y'all know how I feel about cats. I just wanna play, and they frustrate me to no end when they won't let me play with them! So then, my Mandy breaks out the treats. First her and mom got me some at a store, so I got to try them, then Mandy got out carots and gave me some. I also got an apple at her house, and a whole bowl of water with ice cubes in it. We went outside, and she has a pool too. Dude everybody's got a pool around here. It's stinkin' hot down here and they have the beech, but they need pools too I guess. As you all know, I spent a lot of the week tryin' to figure out how to get in the pool. Well, I was doin' the same with Mandy's pool. I walked around and around it, finally I noticed the stairs and in I went! Score! I was so proud of myself for swimmin' on my own.

Mom and some of the family went to see fireworks that night, I just laied on the sea wall and ignored them. I've seen them before. Old news. But the humans get all in to it and stuff. Shoot it ain't edible, why bother. Anything nonedible is a waste of energy to get excited about I mean it.

We got back home yesterday. I seriously want a break from obnoctious dogs. I've had Matilda, then Roxie, then Matilda again. Na, I'm kiddin'. But they so young and just wanna play. They should! They puppies, but I just don't like to play. I never did. And I especially don't now. Give me food! It's good to be home though. I think I finally get to sleep in my crate again tonight. I can't wait either shoot! Ok all, I think that's it for now. I'll be back soon, behave!

I love vacation

I'm back everyone! Man I'm havin' so much fun here! Shoot! Mom don't even know half the stuff I've eaten since I been here. Halarious! I got a milk bone from Alaina, shoot I got tons of stuff from that girl. Other than eatin' an aweful lot, I been sleepin', goin' for walks, mom worked me some the other day. They went shopping. It was hot too. Dude it's seriously hot here! Thank goodness this place is cooled down, and they have stone floors. I sprall out on it and just take it easy. I been in and out of the pool a lot too. I haven't yet figured out how to get in, but once someone helps me, I swim all over till I get to the stairs. I been to the ocean too. In fact, we went today, and shoot I thought I was gunna die of heat exhaustion! Mark was walkin' me around, everyone was lookin' for shells. What for! Mom did give me water though and I greatfully drank all of it. But it didn't cool me down that well. Finally we left though. I appologize for the out of orderness of this post. I'm just sort of tryin' to update on the activities, but I'm more reportin' as I remember. Yesterday everyone left for what was called a water park. Mom left me home. Thank goodness. I got a day to just sleep and chew my bone, and a small break from Roxie. Na, she ain't too bad. But she picks the oddest times to play with me. I'll be layin' there, sleepin' or tryin' to stay out of the humans way cuz they doin' somethin', and here she come! Shoot leave me alone it ain't play time right now. Can't you see the humans are doin' stuff? And she don't take no for an answer either! She just starts barkin'! Gets the humans all mad and everything. O, and another thing about her? Ok y'all, I don't know what it is, but I keep runnin' in to dogs that just ain't dogs! They just ain't! Dasher ain't, Matilda, well I think she a dog, but she sure ain't a lab and I think she might have a screw loose, and now Roxie, she ain't much of a dog either. Accept when Mark comes over she makes a complete fool of herself barkin' like she's gunna kill him. Then she turns in to miss, I'm gunna kill you shepherd. Here's me in the corner laughin' because what she really is is scared spitless. What a wimp. Her mom threw her in the pool, the dog got out, started shiverin', and began licking herself like a cat. I was so embarrassed! So yeh, yet another dog to add to my list of dogs that ain't dogs. Least Winston is a dog. I think the only other thing is, I was incensed by that little girl Alaina. I just wanted a place to curl up and sleep. It was night time, my blanket was downstairs, everyone was upstairs, so I searched and searched and finally found a blanket to curl up on. I just drop off to sleep when I feel the blanket being yanked out from under me. I look up and see the little girl whom I sometimes have a like not like relationship. I like her cuz she is a constant source of food, I don't like her cuz she sometimes smacks me for no reason, and she sometimes won't leave me alone. So I see her, and she yanks the blanket out from under me. Excuse me! How rude! I was mindin' my own for real! My Dasher dad finally took me downstairs where I greatfully found my blanket. No one will yank that out from under me. Ok all, I think I'm all caught up. What a huge entry. That's what I get when I go on vacation and wanna report it all and wait a few days between posts. Y'all losers behave, I'll be back soon.

Reba the dog.

 

Vacation

Hey there y'all, so I'm writin' from the comfort of my blanket which mom was nice enough to bring on this trip. It's weird though, cuz we do this kind of thing every year with these people, but my April and Winston are usually here too. This time, my Dasher dad came down and picked up my mom and me and we drove a very long way today. Think mom said we're in Florida. I thought we were goin' home to see Dasher and my Dasher mom. But no, we at this huge house, and y'all, I don't think my tail has stopped waggin' since I got here. Mom let me go and I just explored my little heart out. Then mom threw me in the pool. Shoot mom! What on earth! It was kind of fun though. I felt lots better after that. I was most excited cuz I get a break from Matilda, sorry dog, but honestly you are just too much sometimes. But I traded her in for another one. Roxie's here, and she's sort of like Matilda, accept not as inappropriate and she has a bit more respect for personal boundaries. She keeps wantin' me to play with her. Shoot! I don't wanna play witchyou. I am tryin' to sniff here, and look for food. I already got me two apple cores. Score! But she follows me everywhere, sniffin' me all over. Mom went swimming today and pulled me in the pool again with her. She held me up while I sort of paddled around the pool. Good thing too cuz it's hot in this Florida sun. Especially on a black dog. We walked on the beech tonight too. Mom put me in harness though cuz she couldn't see where to go. I was good even if I was a bit excited. Mom groomed me and wiped out my ears and I'm good to go. I'm a very tired lab right now though, so this entry is short. But I'm sure, if every day is as crazy, I'll have lots to report. So till next time y'all,
