The Life of Riley
It’s the best day ever.
I was told recently that I am a typical GR and not sure that is a compliment or not.
- So my human tries to make the bed every morning. My super duper GR hearing knows this and I run the jump in the middle of the bed. I can also hear cracker packages from 1,000 feet, but for the life of Riley, I cannot hear my name to come inside from the rain. Weird I know.
- I feel it is my job as a GR to put my mouth and dog slobber on each of my humans socks right out of the dryer… he can’t catch me or collect the socks fast enough … he speaks Spanish a lot when I do it … Winner!
- We have a strong disagreement on how many square feet of a king-size bed a 75 lb GR should have and where on Mr. “Selfish” Man I should put my paws.
- My grandpa says I can do anything I want. I like him.
I have a lot to teach the one human.
It’s the BEST DAY EVER!!!

The Life of Riley
It’s the best day ever.
“Bad Dog for Sale” – Day 2????
My human went out to dinner and brought me the steak and a baked potato that he for dinner. It was yummy.
Then while I was laying in the front yard being all pretty and sweet – and my human was talking to the neighbor – I ran across the street to jump on a little old human lady and her little dog.
I am in deep deep trouble …. Again…
I spent most of the afternoon and evening in the cold dark wilderness of my back yard alone…
He is not speaking to me, not singing to me, not lovin’ on me, and not on the ground wrestling with me…
Instead of calling me his “sweet girl”, he is calling me a juvenile delinquent… me? … a juvenile delinquent?
I think I have done it this time… sad eyes are not even working.
Can somebody call me?
It’s (struggling to be) the BEST DAY EVER!!!

The Life of Riley
It’s the best day ever.
My human received a package with new sweatpants and slippers … he was excited and took a picture….
Weirdo.
Yesterday, I got a special Arby’s for my 11 month birthday!
We went in the truck to the landscape place, the grocery store, and saw the old humans. Fun day!!!
We have not walked a lot lately in the early mornings, but that may be because zombies hate cold weather and my need to clear the neighborhood is not as critical.
My breakfast was yummy.
I cannot wait to chew a hole in those tacky slippers….
It’s the BEST DAY EVER!!!

The Life of Riley
It’s the best day ever.
My first Christmas was awesome!
I played with little dogs, I ate lots of turkey and cookies, I had a couple of big fat naps, and I had my picture taken by the tree with my favorite human… (I look good on camera!)
Grandma did great with the pic!
I never touched the tree once under threat of being skinned alive. Now it’s gone till next year. It is bittersweet.
Thank you all for sending me all the gifts, attention, and love over the past 4 months.
Especially thankful for Terri Cooper and the G.R.E.A.T. Rescue of NE Fla for finding a human to protect.
Merry Christmas everybody!
It’s the BEST DAY EVER!!!

The Life of Riley
It’s the best day ever.
I know I am not supposed to bring sticks in the house.
Plus I have bones, antlers and toys to chew on. But I liked this stick and wanted to chew it.
But Mr. Man thinks he is the boss of the house – and of me! HA!
So technically, I am not chewing the stick in the house since I am mostly outside the house.
I am not sure Mr. Man agrees with my logic so he just looked at me all mean while he picked up the pieces.
Ha… winner!
It’s the BEST DAY EVER!!!
