kind of a sad entry

Hey y'all, well I haven't really gotten in to the confusin' actions of the humans that I been bloggin' about in the last weeks. Mostly because I just been too confused. I don't understand it. But Dasher and I had a long talk and he finally explained it to me. He got this information from Tan curley. Tan Curley told me too, but shoot I don't listen to him half the time. He crazy. And I don't mean just funny crazy like Matilda. I mean like messed up crazy. But he told Dasher too so I guess I believe him. Dasher said, that Tan Curley's dad has passed away. So, that'd be my mom's grandpa. That explained all the visits to the hospital we have made in the last weeks. The last time I saw him he didn't look so well. Tan Curley always said his dad was sick, and seemed to be gettin' sicker. And there was the fire too, remember y'all I told you I smelled fire when I went to Tan Curley house? He said his dad was hurt in that fire pretty bad. So, it's put a lot of pieces together in my head. I figured I'd clear it up here too so y'all aren't too confused. Cuz believe me, I was more confused than I been in a long time. I did kind of sense it when we were out on Sunday, the family was all gathered in this place, there was a big box at the front, and somethin' just didn't smell right. Well, that's what it was. I'm sad too about it. I hope he's savin' a lot of treats for me up in heaven. I know he happier up there. We will miss him very much though. He always gave all of us treats when he was up there. And he always had doughnuts and corn out on a table for us. Tan Curley said it was for the deer. Shut up Tan Curley. No it ain't. Ok Dasher, go ahead and tell. But you eat 'em too. Well, I'm off to either wressle with Winston again, or beg more food off the humans. I'm sort of mad at my mom cuz she went somewhere today without me. Excuse me! Where could you possibly go that I ain't aloud? Dasher said it was cuz they were in the small hot rod car. None of us can fit in there. I guess I accept that excuse. Allright, y'all behave.

Thanksgivin'

Ok so thanksgivin' is pretty much the coolest holiday ever! Accept for national give presents to Reba day. Today mom got me extra food, twice, I thought she lost it! She gave me extra treats, and my April did too! Shoot I forgot to beg I was so happy! I thought my mom was the coolest for most of the day cuz I got all the extra food and the boys didn't. Then Dasher mom gives Dasher a little turkey. Excuse me! I am here! Shoot why can't they make duck or somethin'! O no they gotta make turkey which mom says I can't have. Whatever. O well. I did get lots of other stuff. And Winston and I been wresslin' like crazy. We ran outside, and wressled in the house twice. Once was super crazy! Almost like the times when we lived down in South Carolina! The humans were laughin' so hard at us.

And on the technical side, I got facebook now y'all! Cool! Thanks my Rachel. So anyways, to find me, if you haven't already, search for either Reba Havey, or my email, rebathedog@gmail.com. I think that be it for that.

I'm back on my april bed. Cool! I'll post more later. Y'all be good, you never know when the humans might wake up declarin' the day some holiday in which you'll get all kinds of goodies. Shoot why can't every day be a holiday I mean it!

Winston's here!

Hey everyone! Well I wondered what was up last night when mom started askin' me where Winston was, and sayin' we had to go get him and my April. But the night got later and later, I figured they'd leave to go get them some time this mornin'. Figured they'd come on one of those flyin' things. But all the sudden, my Dasher mom gets up, mom get's ready and we get in the truck. Wow! Where we goin' in the middle of the night. Dasher was furious that he couldn't go. Especially when we finally got back and he realized all we did was go get my April and Winston. Poor guy. Anyway, We drove out to some place we've never been before, it took about as long as it does to get up to see Tan curly. But we weren't there that's for sure. Then I see my April and Winston gettin' out of this strange car. I didn't know any of those people. Where's my Beth, and my Rachel and my Karen and my Emily and stuff! Shoot! So my April gets in, And Winston too and we had a blast almost wresslin' right there in the truck. He settled down enough to tell me they had driven for a long long time and he thought it was the same amount of time it usually takes to get home. So he was confused as to why we weren't home yet. I told him never try and understand humans. I been shakin' my head at their ways for 8 years now. So least I know they still were down at that place we used to hang out. I hadn't a clue where that fool was. So we caught up on everythin', He told me about him bein' sick, and Matilda's usually actin' the fool ways. When we finally got home, Winston and I got to burn off some energy. Then the humans went to bed, so we did too. I can't believe he finally here again though! Shoot! Only bad part, mom put all my stuffed toys away! Shoot ma! I want my sheep! And my goose! Least she left my hedge hog alone. I put it in my crate. Ok y'all, gotta go get lazy butt Winston out of bed. Everyone behave.

Dasher got in trouble!

Ok y'all, so normally I'm the one who's always in trouble. Hey, keeps the humans on their toes. They got nothin' better to do. Well this time, it was Dasher. I couldn't believe my eyes. He wet on the floor! Shoot! Dasher mom got home and I guess the smells of where she been was too much for him and he did it in their bedroom. Caught in the act too. Boy did he ever get it! I just kind of chuckled to myself. And thank goodness my Dasher mom caught him. I'm sure I'd of been blamed for that one had she not seen him.

Dasher mom is back home now as I said. I finally figured out where she was. Dasher dad and mom and I, o and Dasher too went up to where Buddy lives. Or, tan curly. There was my Dasher mom. Guess she was stayin' up there for a while. Y'all, stress was thick when I got there. We only stayed for a day. Mom got me all groomed and sprayed me with some smelly stuff before we even went up there. Well, it was Too smelly for my likin'. So, I went and found some of that black stuff and roled in it. Just tonin' down the smell shoot! I didn't understand why mom was so upset with me! I realized soon it was because the humans were preparing to go somewhere. Oops. Sorry ma, we never go many places up there, I just rome and do whatever. Apparently not this time. So mom threw me in the shower and I got an unexpected bath. I had to go out in harness still wet. I was good though the rest of the day. Mom went for a walk and I guided her beautifully. I took her around two mail boxes, and a post. I even found our turn when she headed back from the walk. We left in the evenin' and came back home. Quickest trip ever up there. Mom's just been cleanin' and stuff since bein' here, and now Dasher mom is finally back. Wonder if she'll stay this time. Mom went to work with the little humans again on Sunday. I was a bit better this time. I knew what to expect. Still didn't get much of a nap in though cuz they kept yellin'. Ah well. They leave me alone till the end when mom takes my harness off and they come pet me one at a time. Thank goodness they don't swarm me. That's about it for me for now. I'll write more later. Behave yourselves.

Staying out of the way

Hey everyone,

I know I've been lax in the updatin' department lately. Really I don't really know what to write about. This last week has just been crazy. I'll try and update y'all though.

Dasher's feelin' lots better. I still call him patches though. He's gunna have those bald spots for a long time till his hair grows back. Mom's been doin' new things when we go to church. Usually, we go, and I sleep next to her. But now, she goes in to this room full of kids and puts me in a corner. You thinkI can sleep with all them yellin' and stuff? No! Shoot I no more than close my eyes and they scream somethin' and I'm all awake again. We also went back to the nursing home. Least I was somewhat familiar with that place. I did a good job gettin' mom where she needed to be. I didn't need too much remindin' where to go either. After that day though, I was just done. I didn't get my full nap in cuz of the kids, I had been in harness all day, and to top it off, mom kept me in harness in the pet store. I was not havin' it. I was tired of behavin' and I let mom know. She was really upset at me the rest of the day. I was with her too, but only for a little bit. Then I felt bad. I really should not have behaved so obnoctiously. I mean, mom didn't do anythin' to deserve that. Dasher mom has been away the last several days. It's got Dasher all in a tizzy. Again, not all his herd is together and you know how that goes. I get so sick of it I hide in my April's room. I cover myself with her pillows and most of the time, it works. The humans don't mess with me, and it's quiet. Dasher dad, mom and I went back up to the hospital and we did find my Dasher mom there. I informed Dasher she was ok, but Dasher just got all upset wonderin' why she was there. It was a quick visit this time. The last few times we've been at the hospital we've been there for a while. I was good there too, I layed out of the way just watchin' tryin' to figure out what was goin' on. All I could sense was sadness though so I tried to comfort as best I could. You all know me though. I don't put up with mushiness for long. Mom was huggin' me and I let her at first, but when she didn't let go, I began wigglin' to get away. Shoot ma you're embarrassing me!

Right now I'm layin' in the livingroom with Dasher and mom. Mom's watching some show on TV with a lot of dogs in it. And every hour it seems Dasher and I are goin' outside to get rid of the squirrels. He is, I'm just runnin' out just cuz. I'd say my only annoyance now is Dasher's gettin' more food than he normally do. Mom's been feeding him and I overheard Dasher dad tellin' her just how much to feed him. Mom says it was an accident she wasn't tryin' to feed him more. Whatever. She was just rubbin' it in. My Dasher mom did come home for a bit yesterday and she brought carots. I was so happy! I ain't seen a carot in a long time. She gave me one before she left.

Think that's all for now. Mom says I've just been extra distant the last few days. I'm just confused that's all. Lots of changes goin' on around here. And I thought we were done with those. Ok, y'all behave, I gotta go back outside and sniff while Dasher tries yet again to do the impossible. Get the squirrel out of our yard. Just ignore the dumb thing. Anyway!

One more thing

O and just so you all know, so you aint gettin' any ideas that Reba is goin' soft, this whole constant patrol thing was all Dasher's idea. We'd of been doin' it last night accept I wouldn't. I finally got tired of his winin' about it so I agreed this mornin'. Shoot Dasher! Who cares anyways! My mom's here, I know I'm gettin' fed, and she fed you too and I ain't touched it. Yet. But anyway, he just kept goin' on and on about his herd not bein' all together or somethin'. Whatever. Since when do I care about the comin's and goin's of humans? As long as there's one here to feed me, that's all I care about. Shoot there he go barkin' again. Guess it's again my turn. Ok this is gettin' real old. I'm tryin' to take a nap here! There is still a curious part of me that does wonder where they went though. And why mom's not even concerned at all.

Where's my Dasher mom and dad?

Hey folks,

Ok so somethin's up. My Dasher dad and mom went away last night, and they ain't come back yet. Mom's not worried at all about it. What on earth! Shoot! So this mornin', Dasher and I devised a plan. Until they do come back, we each gotta take turns guardin' both my mom and the yard. Well, there's two of us, so at all times, one of us has to be in the yard while the other is with my mom. So it's been workin' so far. Mom lets me out, Dasher comes in. Then when he goes out, I come in. So all bases are covered till they get back. I haven't a clue where they went, nor why mom's just like whatever about it. She must know somethin' we don't. O well. I don't care. I'm at least doin' my part. This a short post, I gotta go back outside. It's my turn for yard patrol. Till later y'all.
