Reba the dog.

Mom's upset with me

Well all, I've got a few things to report here. First I've had a bad couple of days. Mom won't let me run loose in the back yard anymore. She takes me out on leash, I do my thing and back inside I go. And Dasher gets to go out all he wants and mom makes me stay inside. Ok ok I been eatin' stuff I shouldn't, but come on now I'm a dog! Doesn't mean I should be restricted from the great outdoors. It's borin' inside! I don't play, I never did like to play. So I just annoy the humans or sleep on my bed. I don't know why mom's gotta be so upset with me.

This next insident really was an accident. Mom used to sing up in front of the church with a bunch of other people, well she'd leave me in a room while she did this. Well back then I didn't care I didn't really like her all that much. But now, I sort of do and don't any of y'all be thinkin' I'm goin' soft or nothin' I mean it! So she started doin' this again and left me in the same room and told me to stay. Well I stayed but I wasn't happy about her leavin' me and walkin' off without me. She needs me a lot more I know that and she's just gunna leave me? I don't think so. Well she came back and I just flew to her like I hadn't seen her in a month. And boy I was a good girl leadin' her out and she told me to find Dasher dad and I did, and we went to our seat and there was Dasher mom, and mom was laughin' and proud of me, all that excitement, yeh it was too much. I sat down, and that's when it happened. I went in harness right there in church. O man! Shoot! Mom was not happy with me. So I've had a hard couple of days. I think I been makin' up for it though. Mom's been goin' out to different places and of course my work has been good. She goes to a class to learn more on that computer of hers and I take her from the truck to the classroom all by myself. She's real proud of me for that.

Ok weird story and I'll end this one. So about a week ago mom and my Dasher mom went to that place where it's dark and they watch a big TV and the whole place smells like pop corn? Torture for dogs. Well they're in line to get food and drinks. Dasher mom suddenly drops her bag of pop corn. Well the stuff went everywhere! I mean everywhere! I jumped back at first, but then, for the next 5 minutes, I had to stand there in the sea of pop corn and ignore it. Hardest thing a lab has to do is ignore food. I could hardly bare it. I kept lookin' around sayin' uh, I can clean this up in about 20 seconds. Really there's no need to sweep it up it'll just go to waste. But, I watched sadly as a lady swept it all up and caried it away. Humans! So wasteful! Mom and my Dasher mom thought it was the funniest thing ever too. They laughed and laughed. I don't get humans. Only other thing goin' on is the humans been takin' pictures of me. They make me sit or stand or lay in a certain place, then they call me but also tell me to stay. Or offer me a treat but don't give it to me till they flash those bright lights from the picture in my face. Good thing I have a nose to find the treat cuz that flash blinds me for a second. Again, Humans are so weird. Y'all behave now. I'm goin' to bed. Maybe mom will let me free outside tomorrow.

Humans are so weird.

Hey everyone,

Well this post is gunna talk mostly about one event that happened today that I still am confused over. I've seen humans do some pretty weird stuff. This one, is way up there.

So my mom and my Dasher dad get up early this mornin' and after feedin' me, we get in the little truck and go for a long drive. When we arrived at our destination, I knew right away this was gunna be a long challengin' day for me. It's allright, I'm up for a challenge. So in we go, and what do you think I saw? Cars and trucks. Yes, the things Humans ride and drive around in, all inside. Not only that, but strange colored and flashin' lights too. Now I've been to a place where my humans have gotten out and looked at vehicles, but it was outside. I wanna know how they got all those cars and stuff inside that buildin'. I mean some of the trucks were enormous! So, for the next few hours, I led mom around, tryin' to keep up with Dasher dad, tryin' not to get my mom run in to by other humans, so far, so good. I waited while they climbed in vehicles to check them out, all the while staring around bored with the whole process, but deep down, it was better than shoppin'. I hate shoppin'. So we soon took a break and mom and Dasher dad got somethin' to eat. So here I am, lyin' on the floor mindin' my own, bein' a good dog, when this kid comes out of no where and trips completely over me. I mean he fell flat on his face. It's kind of funny now, but then I jumped up all fast, hello! Watch where you goin'! Then I noticed all the food he dropped everywhere during his fall. Score for Reba! This act of rudeness might be worth it if I can have that sub. "Leave it Reba." Awe man! Shoot ma! He almost killed me! Let me eat his sandwich. Shoot they're just gunna throw it out anyways! She wouldn't let me though.

The second half of the day was spent doin' the same thing, accept the amount of people increased by about 2 or 3 times it seemed. Some man slammed in to my mom. Fool wasn't watchin' where he was goin'. Yeh you better say you're sorry to my mom shoot. Vehicle after vehicle we looked at in this seemin'ly never endin' buildin'. I even saw a truck hangin' upside down from the ceilin'. Whatever. Humans make no sense. What if that thing came crashin' down on us all.

I saw two other dogs in there too. Man I wanted to say hi too. They were trainin' for somethin', that I could tell. But mom wouldn't let me get close enough to ask. One of them looked like Winston. I thought it was him at first. But, no. Mom should be proud of me though. She said leave it and I did. Didn't wine or scrabble my feet or nothin' to get at those dogs. At last it was time to go and I was so excited to be back home. I played for a long time with my Duck with mom. My poor mom's had ear trouble the last several days. Guess even humans have to get their ears messed with. I been watchin' as my Dasher mom tries to clean it out again and again. I wondered why mom was actin' a bit funny when we work. Must have somethin' to do with her ear.

And here's my other story. So yesterday, we were in church, everythin' was normal when the pastor started callin' names of people to go up front. Well my mom was one of them. Excuse me? Where am I supposed to go this is new hello! So I take mom up front where she gets an award along with a bunch of other people. Good job ma. O man we gotta stay up here, everyone's lookin' at me! What are you lookin' at. I ain't even here. So finally we had to walk back to our seat and that's when I got all messed up. All the roes looked the same, I couldn't even find my Dasher mom or dad as a help to find our seat. Mom was gettin' frustrated with me cuz I wasn't wantin' to walk. I'm sorry ma I'm lost. This is all new what in the world! She was mutterin' under her breath. Woops. Blew that one. O well.

Not much else happenin' since my last post. I'll end this one for now. I'm off to sleep happily in my crate. Behave everybody.

Brief update

Hey everyone, It's been brought to my attention that I haven't posted in a bit so here goes. Actually there ain't much goin' on different for this lab. The humans are runnin' around like always. The only sad news is Winston and my April left a few days ago. For the first day I laid outside my April's door hopin' they'd come out or come back or somethin'. I wanted on my April bed too but mom stopped that right away. Shoot ma! Mom got out my stuffed toys again and I been havin' fun with them. I love caryin' them around the house. Mom and I have been goin' for walks again too. They started when my April was here with Winston. They walked to a store that was a long long ways away. It sure seemed that way anyways. Then they went again only this time they went in to one of those places where they watch loud movies and there's a lot of pop corn everywhere. Speaking of loud stuff I went to a party with mom tonight and it was so loud there! The humans were laughin' and havin' a great time. I thought forget sleepin' though I mean it! Mom's started singin' in the choir again. I seem to remember her doin' that years ago with me, but I don't remember the people singin' so high. Last practice I almost got up and left. Mom made me lay back down though. Like the title of this says, this is a brief entry. Most of you follow me on facebook so a lot of this is repeat. I just been hangin' out, sleepin', playin' some, beggin' from my Dasher mom, and goin' outside to eat that smelly muck that always gets mom so upset. I love instigatin' the humans. So what if I get my teeth brushed a lot more. Funny thing is the humans can't find what I'm eatin' and that bugs them more than me eatin' it. Ok, I'm off to sleep now. O and welcome to any new readers I have out there. Don't think I've welcomed in a while and I probably have new ones out there. See? I can be nice sometimes.

Guess I better post again

Hey y'all,

Lots has happened since my last post, and that wasn't even that long ago. First I got sick. Think I got all stressed at the amount of people and dogs in this house. It got real small real quick. And then I was dealin' with stress bucket Winston who peed all over my April's floor. Shoot dude! Well, my mom cleaned all that up, and that's about when I started feelin' sick I think. It's like I had to go to the bathroom so bad, but when I went out, I couldn't go. This went on all night! The humans were gettin' tired of gettin' me out as fast as they could because I was in such distress. Mom took me to the vet the next day and they said I have a bladder infection. Whatever that means. Means I don't feel good that's all I know. So I have to take medicine now every day. It's helping too. I'm feelin better, but this stuff makes me tired.

A few days ago we went up to Tan curley's house. I of course left the truck at a dead run. Get me out of here I'm goin' to run free in these snowy woods. Winston decided to stick close to the humans and in so doing, got himself in a whole lot of trouble. That fool lost his head. Wouldn't listen to no one. I told him to come with me, but no, he decided to stay close. We ended up stayin' in the room our moms were staying in for most of the day. Too many people in the house for us to be runnin' loose. O my word there was this little cat there, shoot I wanted him so bad! Finally someone picked him up and showed him to me and after a few snifs I grabbed his head. I wanted to take him home. The humans weren't happy about that. But every time I came out of the room I looked for that kitten. I saw his mom a lot and she was so mad at me, we went back and forth. Me teasin', her gettin' madder and madder. Her name Bella. "Hey Bella, where your baby at? I want that baby!" Only other thing that happened up north was Winston got bit by tan curley. Shoot that made me mad. I didn't see it, I was off in the woods searchin' for doughnuts or somethin', but Dasher told me. Said Winston tried to come in and Tan curley just jumped up and bit him in the face. Excuse me! Uncalled for. Who he think he is anyways. Winston just took it too. Surprised he didn't wet himself. I'd of ignored it too, but I at least would of came inside anyway and plowed past tan curley. Shoot he got issues I mean it.

The next day after a romp in the snow we headed home. We stopped at that house where riley lives. Mom left me in the truck. Didn't even give me a chance. Didn't trust me at all. Winston got out and played the fool enough for both of us though. He got in to Riley's food, got himself sick, got in to the food again, then got himself tied to the back of the truck. Good goin' Winston. Me and Riley exchanged not so friendly words as always, and we were soon on our way again. Finally. Home at last! I wanna just sleep on my bed or in my crate for a while. All this company and travelin', I'm tryin' to recover here! No Winston, I don't wanna play! Leave me alone! Dude he everywhere today. I'm glad he all happy. Go play with the humans or somethin'. Let me sleep for a while. Be good everyone.

Lots goin' on

Hey everyone, well shoot! I wait a while to post and things start happenin' like crazy around here. I'll try and remember everythin'.

My april and Winston came a few days ago. Sweet! We got to play and catch up on stuff. What was funny though, Winston was all mad at my mom. I mean he wouldn't even look at her. I'm like dude what's your deal! He said he was mad cuz she took me away from him. Hello blond! I been away for a long time. I mean he been here twice while my mom and I been here why he just now gettin' all upset. I think it was kind of funny. He made up with her though. I'll share how in a minute.

So things have been pretty much nonstop since my April got home. On Friday, mom left me home and went somewhere. She came back smellin' like another house, other dogs, and cookies. Excuse me! Why couldn't I go! My april and winston went too with my Dasher dad. But they came back smellin' like stores. Hello! What place can I, as a service dog not go to? So it was just me and Dasher mom and Dasher at home. Well I was mad. Leave me at home. Shoot! So when Dasher mom went back in her room, I jumped on the couch. I ain't supposed to get up on the couch. I don't care! Shoot! Leave me home huh? Well, my april came home later and I ran to the door barkin' like I was gunna kill someone. Shoot I knew it was my April but I don't care, I was voicin' my penned up frustration hopin' mom was with her and was hearin' my fury. But no, it was just my April. She fed me and then we loaded in the truck. Good! Where my ma. I'm gunna let her have it. Ok so when I actually saw her all of that was forgotten in excitement that she was there and so no, I didn't really let her have it. But I wished later that I had stayed home again. Mom and our family, along with several other familys went to the zoo to see all these lights on trees. I been there before. It was nothin' new. It was however new to be there with a few other families, and to top it all off, my mom and my April were wearin' these hats that dance and play music. Obnoctious! Every time mom pushed hers I was tryin' to disappear in the lit up trees. Other than that though, I was good stayin' with our group. It was hard too cuz it was really crowded there. I only got distracted once when we happened upon a couple ducks. Ok random! What on earth are ducks doin' out at night like that, that close to a bunch of people, I mean the setting was totally off I mean it. I tried to get a closer look to ask them, but mom said leave it so I had to go on.

After that the humans went to this mad house to eat dinner. I mean it was loud. But I was safe under the table. All of that was just one day. I told you this was a busy time.

The next day the humans did that thing where they open presents to each other, the room gets quickly filled with empty boxes and paper. We got new toys too. I got a frog from my April, and a pheasant. Sweet! That's when Winston made up with mom. She got him a new rope toy and he has been her friend ever since. All is forgiven. Guess he can be bought. Mine would be food. Feed me and we're forever friends again.

On Sunday, we again helped with the little humans, I was fine till I saw them fighting over and passing a present that was wrapped up so much that it was hard to open. Like that party I went to and got my head almost sat on. If you saw on my facebook, I almost left the room. Seriously I was out of there. We went to see the elderly humans again too. Mom played her guitar and I layed like a good girl under the table. That was basically what we did that day.

Yesterday we started gettin' ready for company. Cleanin' the house, mom took my blanket out of my crate and put it in my Aprils room. That's where we're stayin' while the company is hear. It Roxie and her family. Cool! their little girl Elaina likes to walk around with food in her hand. Elaina, I know you don't really want that cracker. Look at the cute lab sittin' by you. And no Roxie, I don't wanna play.

Last night we went to church, but it wasn't for a service. It was for another christmas party. The humans ate, and played another game of openin' presents. Think mom got candy.

So anyways, lots and lots of happenin's around here lately. Only other thing I wanna tell you about is a sad story. All the Reba fans out there will be heartbroken for me I'm sure.

I was sleepin' all comfortable on my April's bed, when I accidentally leaked a little bit. Now I ain't done this in forever, and it really is an accident! But my April still, put me outside, cleaned it up, then wouldn't let me up on her bed again. I even waited till she was in bed, all settled before I got up quietly and padded over to ask nicely. She said no, go to your bed. My heart was broken. I have never been more hurt. So heartless. But, you know the life of a dog, this mornin' all was forgotten. I better go now, I've written enough and I wanna see what food Elaina's caryin' around now. Again, no Roxie, I do not wanna play. Y'all behave yourselves.
