Mmm! Buffalo Sauce!

Ok, so I just posted this to my guide dog list, so those of you on it may have seen it, but I had to post it here too lol!
(O and I'll be doing "catch up" posts at some point)


Ok, so I had a major O-my-gosh-these-labs-are-friggin-sneaky moment today.
We went to the Henry Ford Museum with a group from my learning community. I got up and fed Bilko around 7:15, and then we went to detroit. We had fun looking around all of the exibits and touring the Rouge Factory and seeing some of Green Field Village. Bilko's guide work was fanominal!
It was on the way home, and we stopped to get McDonalds. I figured I would just feed Bilko when we got back to school since we were getting back around 7 and It would be a hastle to bring food and everything. Well my friend finished her meal and set her bag down on the floor of the van. I was in the seat just behind the front passengers seat, and Bilko was laying between a cooler and the seat. Well apparently he was really hungry, because all of a sudden my friend looked down and was like "Bilko chewed through my bag, and got my sauce." I was like what! Really?
He's never done that before, and he was so quiet none of us even noticed until she looked down and saw him chewing on it! I guess him not eating more than bites of kibble periotically for 12 hours made him decide to be a brat.
Darn sneaky dog! haha!

Bilko's bloggings

Ok, so mom said I can write this before she catches you all up on what's been going on lately-- Yea! I get the computer! *wags tail and wiggles excitedly*
So yesterday was weird. It was raining (bleck!) and usually I don't like the rain but mom makes me go out and work in it anyway, but yesterday she put this weird yellow thing over me. I hate that weird yellow thing! It sounds weird when she puts it on-- like a scratchy sound as she adjusts it. It keeps me dry in the rain, but I still hate it! I don't want to move with it on. It feels weird and I shake and try to get it off but it doesn't work and then mom gets frustrated cause she just dropped her white shirt in mud (she says she'll tell you about that later), so we went back to our room and she turns on this blowy thing and puts the shirt in front of it then she says we have to go back out. I'm still wearing the yellow thing, and when we're walking down the stairs I don't want to go and just stand there so she corrects me and I am forced to go to her side sliding on the wet steps but I'm ok just mad that she's making me do this. Then we go outside and she tries to get me to work on this rout we do every day but I don't want to! I want this thing off me! Now! She doesn't listen to my complaints and tries to get me to work but I won't so she gets mad and her friend is walking by and walks with us around a huge puddle and mom heals me and then I grudgingly walk and work and then we go through this building that we do every day and mom does obedience to make sure I'll listen and I grudgingly obey then we go to the building with lots of music and I don't want to work with the yellow thing so finally she makes me sit and takes it off! Yes's's! :D I then lay down by this chair like I do twice a week and listen and watch mom and a bunch of other people singing. Ok, good, normal stuff. Then We go to this dorm I've never been to before and mom makes me lay down while some girl puts some hot thing on mom's hair. I wanted to sniff it but mom and the girl both said no its hot so I didn't. Then we took the bus back to our dorm and mom was like freaking out cause her shirt had mud on it so she was running around trying to get that cleaned and then she fed me and got all dressed up nice and we took the bus back to the cool building with the music and we were sitting there with her friends from the grou. Then I'm laying there nicely and mom's mom (my grandma I guess) comes up and says "hi Jenna," and I get all excited and start wagging and trying to say hi but mom corrects me. Then she takes my harness off and I go with her mom! Yea! Wait? Why am I going with her? O well... Then mom goes up on stage and sings like she does during the other times we come to this building but now there's lots of other people. What is this? Then after she's done mom walks up to me with her mom guiding her (steeling my job!) and I get excited and sit up and lick this guy behind the ear before mom's grandma can stop me and he freaks out until he realizes what's going on then I get pet by mom and wag. Then she makes me lay down for awhile for the other singing people then we leave and go back to the dorm and get our stuff and go back to the house with my friend Hope. Few! That was a long day!

Ah! Spring Break! *sigh*

So I came home yesterday for spring break this week. I was gonna post thursday night and tell yall about my crazy week, but I was half way through the post and hit the wrong key combination, (alt left arrow,) and so it went back to the previous page and lost all my work and I was tired and said screw it haha!
I ended up talking to a friend from the list I'm on about guide dogs on skype. Yesterday I went to lunch with some friends on campus at this actual restaurant that was good :) then I talked to my adviser about scheduling classes for next year and then went home. O before I went home Nick was coming by on his way home so he stopped over to say hi for a bit :) Yea! I didn't think I'd get to see him for like 3 weeks still and we already havent seen each other since feb 14th! :)
I'm going bowling with some friends at 5:30 tonight. I don't know if I'll bring Bilko though. I might since he won't get that much work this week. Less than at school anyway. He chewed up my mom's dirty clenexes this morning already... that's the only thing he gets in to, and I thought he only did it when he was bored... guess not or he got really bored really fast haha. IDK what else to write and I'm bored... maybe I'll find a game to play.

home again and Silly dogs

Ok, so I'm home at the moment sitting in our den. I came home yesterday morning because my brother (Walker) had a concert last night. He was in the honors band for the middle schools in our district. We went to the concert after hanging out at home and helping watch my cousin's year old daughter. She's sooo cute! At one point she was getting fussy because she was tired, and was just crying no matter what. Once she was walking around and crying and I heard her going toward the stairs so I ran over and grabbed her. (we don't have a baby gate so we just have to watch her.) That's the only good thiing about her crying was I could tell where she was lol!
The concert was good. I liked the songs, and one of Walker's friends sang a solo in the choir so that was cool. O and they had a surprise song and it was "Sing Sing Sing!" (go to my earlier post if you want to listen to a version of it... I'm to lazy to link to it right now haha.) I was excited lol. O and one of the songs I heard bass claranettes! I don't remember there being bass claranettes in middle school, but I guess there are. they sounded like Contra basses... IDK.

So this morning at 7:30 I was woken up by my grandma's dog, Ebony, coming in my room. She is staying with us for a week while grandma is in Florida, (Lucky!) Well Ebony came in and got Bilko up andd they went out and started running around the living room. Grumbling, I got up to get Bilko so when Hope (standard poodle) started barking everyone else wouldn't be woken up. Mostly Walker because everyone else was awake. I brought Bilko in my room again and closed the door. I layed back down, but sombody kept nosing me and pawing me. Fine. I'm up! I'm up!
I took Bilko out and fed him, then went back to bed. A few minutes later my dad came in and had all the dogs (Bilko, Ebony, and Hope) get up on my bed and lay down. He then went and got the camera and took a picture. I bet its cute, and if I can get the picture on my computer I'll try and load it on here. We then got all of them on my brother's bed and took a picture. I was cold, so I went back to lay down in my nice warm bed. I'd given up on sleep by now haha! My brother came in and Bilko climbed back up on my bed and Walker took tons of random pictures of God only know what and saved them on my phone. Great... Waste of memory. O well...

Well gotta get ready for church here soon. Hope you enjoyed my ramblings. :)
