#SuperbowlSunday? Reilly Made A Prediction Already?

Maybe. Maybe not. You'll have to watch this #StreamingSunday livestream to find out:



PS Reilly did correctly predict 2018's Superbowl winners.

"Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" personally thinks that Tucker the Golden Retriever just actually wanted to see the baby and say "Hi" to him or her, just like when Reilly and Camille get (though especially Reilly) gets excited when she hears any human sounds (e.g., voices, footsteps). To be fair, nonetheless, Tucker's owners know Tucker better than she does (and she doesn't even know him at all, and they'll still know him better even if she did).

And, yes, Reilly is a proud MaltiJew even when she's too sleepy to give "Momma" kisses to acknowledge her Yiddishkeit.

#ThrowbackThursday & #ThursdayThoughts: How Reilly Saved Her "Momma" From Dying Due to Depression in 2014

If I, Reilly's "Momma", have never really talked about my major Depression flareup in 2014, I will now (and ironically so as patient Reilly waits for her night-owl "Momma"ⁱ, though she did ring the back door bell and paw at the hallway gate a few times to indicate that she wanted to go to bed). Without going into too much detail (and ironically in this instance as well, as I said that I'd talk about the Depression flareup), I'll say this: Reilly (or rather, God through Reilly) literally saved me from dying from starvation due to oversleeping that was caused by the Depression flareup, with the flareup being caused by a relative—"A"—of a former friend of one of my relatives—with whom I understandably disagreed on an issue into which I will not delve here, and "A" was upset that I would dare to talk about it.

I would name exactly who "A" is and state what the issue was if I were not afraid of what she and some of her associates could do to me. After all, "A" took her hatefulness as far as to stalk me on my blog (Trust me when I use the word "stalk", as her visits were constant, obsessive, and within minutes of each other)—and using Feedjit at the time, I could tell that it was her because of the area that Feedjit listed as where the visitor of the blog was roughly located—and to stalk me on LinkedIn—to stalk me on LinkedIn, to try to intimidate me, and she knew that I could see that it was her! She didn't even try to set it to "Private Mode"; and as far as Feedjit, she may have even known that I was using that and could see the statistics! Needlessly to say, I quickly spiraled into a severe Depression flareup which caused to oversleep, which caused me to obviously not eat like I should—since I obviously wouldn't get what nutrition I needed if I slept too much and thus ate too little because I was sleeping when I should've been eating (Besides, oversleeping can have other disastrous effects.).

I was very blessed, then, that Reilly gave me a reason to be here. I was also blessed that she needed up to 20 hours of sleep in her first year. By the way, this is part of why I criticize the militant "Adopt; Don't Shop" types and those whom are more than eagerly quick to demonize surrenders of pets to shelters. As I stated in a recent Facebook comment:

"I feel bad for [a pup that was surrended] and her former owner. At least she seems to be adjusting. It probably broke his heart to have to surrender her. I'd kill myself before surrendering Reilly if I ever had to do so--the self-righteous judgement that I would receive would be too much to bear in addition to the pain of having to give her up. May I never have to surrender one of my reasons for being here--and she saved me from a bad Depression flareup once. Without her, I'd've overslept and starved to death."

#FluffyFriday & #FlashbackFriday: The Brat Is That Smart!

PS Pictures related to the first video tell the story in quite their own way.

Another Reilly Adventure In Pictures

Long story short: Reilly's tactic to actually let "Momma" take pictures in hopes that others might see them and side with her didn't work. She knew that she wasn't supposed to bark, could've just quietly watched the other puppy and his or her owner instead of barked at them through the window, and had to stay down from the chair until "Alexa [said] that [she could] get back up [on the chair and look out the window]". She also knew what "Alexa, set a timer for five minutes" (a timer to which "Momma" subsequetly had to add time) meant.

Besides, she's the kind of pup that would more likely want scritches from even any intruders than to alert "Momma" (or "Mom-Mom" or "Auntie Michelle") to any intruders for any reasons than scritches! So, her tactic to try to convince anyone whom'd see the pictures and think that she was being a guardpup didn't work!

Being a good girl even when she behaves badly does not mean that she gets to get away with behaving badly, let alone trying to get others to side with her in whatever way she as a puppy can (at least try to) get them to side with her when she's misbehaving! 

A Reilly Adventure In Pictures, Including A Moving One

I wanted some of Momma's food...

When she wanted to take another photo instead of give me food, though, I just walked away (since I don't like pictures of myself taken unless I get treats for having them taken). I didn't get into any trouble...

Oh yes, I did! Since Momma wouldn't give me her food...

#SillySunday & #SentimentalSunday: A Week In Adventures For Reilly (Reilly the Brat 🙂).

By the way, Reilly about hates her night-owl "Momma" right now (which is understandable, given that "Momma" promised Reilly to go "night nights" almost an hour and a half ago).

#WoofWednesday and Somewhat Offbeat: Ringing the Bell and Barking Over Which "Momma" Can't Hear And/Or Has To Shout

"Reilly, stop!"
"Reilly, quiet!"

Reilly persisted in ringing the bell to indicate that (and night-owl "Momma" got the point that) she wanted to go "night nights" last night (and "Momma"'s trying to be less of a night owl is a work in progress), and there've been other times when she's rung the bell instead of bark—not to mention that at quite a few times when she's wanted to go outside to see someone or something, she's both rung the bell and barked!

As for the barking by itself, it's still an inappropriate behavior in which Reilly engages—with her often going as far as to bark with Camille when Camille's inappropriately barked (including this morning), notwithstanding that she as alphess should be setting a good example for her younger cousin and betess! The barking also frequently gets loud enough for "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" to be unable to tell her bad-example-setting "dogter" and her furniece to be quiet, especially when they're barking simultaneously and cacophonically—and often to the point at which she can't hear over it!

Of course, what can "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" do about it particularly if they don't listen to "Be quiet or get down [from their beds from which they look out of the family-room window]!" and "Be quiet!"? She doesn't have anyone (not counting "Mom-Mom" and "Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi" in this context at all) to roll them over or chase them when they try to run and keep barking or be a firmer and stronger voice than she can be (and not that "Mom-Mom" or "Auntie Michelle" will always roll them over when "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" asks them to do so, anyway). 

Somewhat Offbeat: A Cold About Did In Night-Owl "Momma"; Still Trying To Be A Better "Momma" To Reilly, Etc.

After a roughly-two-day cold about did in night-owl "Momma", she began to try to go "night nights" with Reilly earlier than before—and it's still a work in progress, and a lonely one at that in one way. At least, truth be told, she even observes that Reilly's mood in the morning and throughout the day seems better, even though her behavior often surely isn't better—as behaviors such as the inappropriate barking continue. As for "Momma"'s mood on the other hand, it's not so much better, especially when the inappropriate behaviors occur—and notwithstanding that Reilly is one reason that she keeps living, despite the paradox of Reilly seeming to want to kill her when she barks and causes her to have myclonous flareups that could affect fatal injuries.

However, at least "Momma"'s energy levels might be a little better at least at times, such as when she's able to take Reilly to go "potty" without having to use her rollator and put the loop of Reilly's leash around one of its handles—not to mention that the first occurrence of that, as "Momma" recalls, actually happened this morning, since "Momma" figured that she might as well try it. So, maybe she'll be strong enough one day to not have Reilly's inappropriate barking affect myoclonous flareups, given that she was strong enough to take Reilly to go "potty" without having to depend on the rollator—and she may even be able to take her on walks someday for all that she knows!

Nonetheless and as "Momma" mentioned, being a better "Momma" to Reilly is a work in progress.

PS On a lighter note: who couldn't find a puppy with a bandanna to be cute, let alone Reilly with a bandanna to be cute? Thus, "Momma" took the following pictures of Reilly in a bandanna:

"Momma" Heard A Firework Or Gunshot Last Night. So Did Reilly, And...

She amazingly did not bark, and she gave "Momma" kisses as "Momma" got down on the floor to call the non-emergency police from her cell phone. She didn't even have to be told to not bark, even when the firework or gunshot caused another puppy to bark¹. So, she certainly must've known that something was wrong (either that, or it was a combination of that she was sleepy and able to sense that something was wrong—although being tired hasn't always kept her from barking when she's heard, seen, or smelled someone whom or something that she considers barkworthy!).


¹As both she and "Momma" could hear—and puppies can hear louder sounds much better than humans can, which is how "Momma" knows that both of them could hear the firework or gunshot and the other puppy.
