Funny Story

Ok y'all, so a few days ago my Dasher mom and dad went away for a few days leaving mom alone with us dogs. Well it was nice I thought, I slept a lot, and so did Dasher. But somethin' funny happened that I'm still laughin' about.
Mom was sitting in front of the tv for a bit, then she got up and went to one of the closets. She came back out with a spray bottle and paper towels in her hand. She knelt down by the TV again, just watchin' for a bit. Then, she gets up and turns around. Next thing that happened, and I have told Dasher time and again not to lay in mom's way but that fool just does not listen. So therefore, he gets stepped on all the time! I used to feel bad, but now I just laugh because seriously! Do you see me gettin' stepped on by mom? No! Why? Because I've learned to stay in a corner out of her way dude she can not see us at all! So anyways, sure enough, Dasher is layin' right in her path. Mom stepps on his paw, he yelps, and I look up and mom is flying through the air! I think she was tryin' to avoid stepping more on Dasher because by now he was moving to try and get out of the way, and he was makin' it worse. So mom's flyin' through the air, and she lands hard on the floor on her side. I laughed myself senseless at her. And Dasher was all tryin' to see if she was ok, she was tryin' to see if he was ok, Shoot I was laughin' too hard to see if either one of them were ok. Humans! Always a good source of entertainment at least, even if they aren't the best source for food all the time!

Long time no post

Well it's about time! My mom had computer issues, got them fixed, and never fixed my blog. Hello! Well she finally got it so I can at last update you all. The last I posted was in January. Shoot! Well, I'll try and catch y'all up. It's spring now and y'all know what that means. I blow my winter coat, drive the humans nuts with extra hair everywhere, I get to hang out outside more which is sweet! Dasher mom got a new vehicle and I was havin' fun ridin' in it till Winston came home for a visit. Shoot that dog is the antsiest dog I have ever seen in a vehicle. He all over the place. Y'all saw I put that on facebook. Well it ain't an exadgoration. I have been stepped on, kicked, even sat on so many times because the fool will not sit still back there. Dude! Find a spot and just stay there! Least I'm a good rider I mean it. Stress bucket!
Yes my April and Winston came home for a visit. They're still here. We havin' fun accept we ain't aloud loose in the back yard. Winston's super upset about that. At first I thought it was cuz of me eatin' stuff I shouldn't again, I ain't doin' that as much I mean it! But actually the reason is I think cuz Dasher dad put a bunch of stuff on the ground, and he doesn't want us messin' it up.
My Kayren came for a visit too! Sweet! I get more treats! I get them from my Dasher dad and my Kayren! Accept Dasher dad stopped givin' them to me. Shoot! It's ok. I'm keepin' count of how many he missed. And my Kayren, you still oe me 9 treats from the pictures you been takin' of me. I mean it!
Me and my Kayren got a deal goin' that for every picture she takes of me I get a treat. I hate gettin' my picture taken but if a treat is involved, I'll do it so I came up with this so the humans can get their pictures of me.
Really it's a good thing I have facebook because I been keepin' y'all posted on the big things through that. But now that mom finally fixed this thing, I can at last give y'all more of my stories.
I'm off to find more eggs and eat them. Sweet! Dasher mom hid eggs all over the house for me to find. Ha ha! I found a bunch and Dasher and Winston didn't! Shoot ma! Don't shut me away! What do you wanna find the eggs for I wanna find them!

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.
Reba the dog.

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.
