Gates

Hey there everybody.

So It's been a little bit since I posted here, but not much has been happenin' since the big move. Things seem to be calmin' down in to a routine around here. We dogs sort of hang out goin' in and out all day while the humans either clean or watch TV and eat. We get to go for walks every night. That's cool. Accept mom still has me work and Winston don't have to. I don't get it. O well. I get food rewards on the walk and he don't. So the humans got this halarious contraption. I think they got it to keep us out of the kitchen and dining room, but really they got 'em and they've done nothin' but trip over 'em ever since. They're I think called baby gates. And they are up to keep Winston and I out. Course Dasher, perfect Dasher gets to go in anyway. His food be in there and up till now, I been able to sneak in there and get it when no one around. But not anymore. Shoot! O well it's still amusin' cuz I seen my mom, my Dasher mom, and my April all trip over this thing. They forget it's there and they just nail it. Cracks me up every time. Way to get somethin' to stop us, and it causes you more trouble than it does us.

I went to the vet tonight to get my shots. I was fine till they weighed me and I hear mom say, Oo Reba, you're goin' on a diet. Excuse me? I am skin and bones here! I mean it! And she have the nerve to put me on a diet! I was a good girl in the vet too! I didn't even go nuts when we walked in and saw a big yellow lab there. He was wantin' to see me, but I wasn't interested. The vet says I'm healthy though. Course I am. And I don't need to be on no diet either! Shoot I can't believe this! My Dasher mom will fight this one for me. She always do. My Rachel! Tell my mom to feed me more! My April and my Karen too! Shoot all y'all worked on her last time and it worked she fed me more. So y'all gotta do it again or she'll starve me I mean it! 60 pounds. Shoot that skale be lyin'! There ain't no way I'm that much. I got a cool new rabies tag on my collar now. That's pretty sweet. I saw mom put it on and take off the old. Well I hope this rain stops. We didn't get to walk tonight cuz it was rainin'. Maybe tomorrow. Ok all, time for sleep. Y'all better be bein' good.

P.S. I have twitter now. So whoever wants to add me, if you have twitter, it's reebsrules. And yes she does.

 

Humans are so weird!

Ok y'all, tonight the humans and us dogs went to this place, it's the place where humans go and sit for a while and listen to a guy talk to them. Think they call it church. Well it's called nap time for us dogs. So that's what I was doin'. Mindin' my own when all the sudden, this guy starts sayin', "Get 'em!" Well he keeps saying it in that voice humans get with us dogs sometimes. He must have been tellin' a story or somethin'. So after a bit I looked up and was lookin' around for what in the world he was wantin' gotten. I'm sniffin', I don't see nothin'! Mom's yankin' me back and tellin' me to stay. Shoot mom he said get 'em! Winston was over there clueless sound asleep. Finally I did lay back down with a disgusted sigh. Humans are so dumb tellin' us dogs to go get somethin' that ain't even there. And we dogs are even dumber for lettin' the humans get away with this. I'm the biggest supporter of goin' against the humans, but that gets me every time. But at least when mom or any other that I'm close to says get 'em, there actually be somethin' to get I mean it!

Today we went to a few stores, and I did well guidin' mom around in them. Though somethin' up with her though. Seems like she can't see quite as well as normal because I'm havin' to compensate for more things. I don't mind, but she's havin' a hard time trustin' me so i end up hesitatin', which makes her not trust even more, and O my goodness would you just trust me for the love! Shoot have I ever led you wrong! Ok Ok I get lost a lot from who I'm sposed to be followin'. But come on now! I don't get ya hurt, I don't run ya in to stuff. We're workin' at it though. Winston was gettin' random stuff today. Why he gettin' stuff. Shoot I bet it his birthday or somethin' comin' up that the humans made up as an excuse to give us dogs stuff. When's that day gunna come for Reba and why's there only a few of those days? Shoot humans always buyin' stuff for themselves. I saw them take a bunch of money to a place, and hand it to a lady behind a counter, then turn right around and get the same lookin' money out of a machine at the same buildin'! What in the world! I shouldn't even ask anymore. Ok everyone, I gotta get outa here. My crate's callin' my name. Y'all behave yourselves. Matilda that means you too. I heard you been actin' the fool out there in California. Shoot you always actin' the fool. So you better stop it. Peace out y'all.

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!
