I am ready for another game of fetch!

09/16/2026

I’ve been busy lately, and not sure how mom’s terra-cotta frog got broken. Hopefully she will be home soon.

Hey Fans! My PR Rep thought you would appreciate a video of me while she is gone travel the world!!

Entry #114: Holiday Schedule Chaos, Velcro Lap Time, and the PR Rep's Official Send-Off! 🧳✈️🛋️

Hey Fans! What a total mess of a week it’s been! Having Monday off for the holiday completely threw off everyone's internal clock around here. 🤪

Mom just realized this morning that she hasn’t even packed for her big overseas trip yet because she swore she had one more day! Meanwhile, Dad has been off all week and doesn't head back to work until Friday, so our entire household routine is totally out of sorts.

To make matters worse, Dad has an appointment first thing this morning and declared out loud: "There's no time for a walk before I leave."

WANNA BET, DAD?! You know I'm sitting by the door with my tennis ball ready to launch an immediate protest! 🎾😤

🛋️ THE ULTIMATE VELCRO LAP DOG
Even with the chaotic schedule, I absolutely LOVE having Dad home at my beckoning call. It means non-stop fetch sessions, and whenever Mom isn't around, Dad sneaks in way more couch naps than usual! 💤

Naturally, I curl right up on top of him. They don't call the German Shorthaired Pointer a "Velcro dog" for nothing—if Dad is sitting down, I am glued directly to his lap! Total quality control supervision. 🐕 Velcro life!

📸 PR REP OVERSEAS & STAYING CONNECTED
Since my Chief PR Rep (Mom) is officially heading out for her military trip, we are going to have to tolerate Dad's complete lack of social media posting skills for a couple of weeks. ✈️

I'm going to try my absolute best to negotiate with Dad to send Mom plenty of pictures of me while she's away so she can post them for all of my loyal fans! 📸

Mom promised me before leaving that she scheduled a couple of posts in advance so you all don't suffer from severe Keel withdrawals or anything drastic like that. Plus, she promised that if she spots any GSPs while she's traveling, she'll snap a picture for me! 🐕🌏

Stay fetching, everyone, and keep your eyes peeled for my PR Rep's pre-scheduled posts popping up while she's away!

Glued to Dad's lap and demanding a pre-appointment walk,

Entry #113: The Morning Door Bolt, Window Yoga, and Mandatory Fetch Demand! 🚪🤸‍♂️🍖

Hey Fans! I have officially decided that playing fetch after our mandatory walks is no longer enough. So yesterday morning, the second Dad cracked the door open, I BOLTED! 🚀💨

I sprinted a couple of high-speed laps around the house and posted up in the middle of the field. I could hear Dad yelling, "Keel, let's go!" but I wasn't budging a single inch. I was ready for an immediate game of fetch right then and there! As you all know, I was severely neglected on Monday and only got ONE round of fetch, so I had ground to make up! 😤🎾

Dad kept calling, but I sat rock-solid. Eventually, Dad always gives up and comes out to get me... and sure enough, HE DID!! 🏆
Dad threw the dummy, I charged out and grabbed it like a champ, but when I brought it back, Dad snagged my collar and I had to do the official Walk of Shame all the way to the truck! 🚶‍♂️😳
Still, total victory: I managed to score several games of fetch throughout the day yesterday, so it is now officially "Fetch Anytime" at our house! 🎾🔥

🤸‍♂️ WINDOW SILL YOGA & THE GSP LIFE
When Mom got home from work, I was so utterly thrilled to see her that I bounced right up onto the bed! 🪟🐕

Suddenly, someone mentioned a bird or a cat or something moving around outside, so I sprang into action to investigate. To see out the window, I had to execute an elite, olympic-level yoga stretch, extending my entire body across a massive drop-off between the bed and the windowsill to get into position! 🧘‍♂️

Mom just stood there shaking her head in disbelief, and Dad muttered at me to get down before shaking his head and walking away. Honestly, there are days I am 100% convinced Dad secretly wishes he got another easy-going Lab instead of a crazy, long-limbed GSP! 🤪 breed superiority, Dad!

🍖 LARRY SPANGBERG MEMORIAL RIB COOK-OFF REMINDER!
Don't forget to get signed up for the 2nd Annual Larry Spangberg Memorial Rib Cook-Off happening on Saturday, October 10th! 🏆🔥
Bragging rights are almost as good as the trophy and prize money! Send my mom a message to register before spots fill up! 🎟️

Perfecting my yoga stretches for the next game of fetch,

Entry #112: Glorious Walks, Dakota’s Zapping Collar, and Calling APS! ☀️⚡️📞

Hey Fans!! Guess what? When it came time for our mandatory morning walk yesterday, it wasn’t raining at all—so it turned out to be a totally glorious morning! 🌤️

I decided a morning swim wasn’t in the books for me because it was a little too chilly for my liking. My sisters still jumped right into the water for a swim, but they are just crazy like that! 🥶🏊‍♀️

⚡ DAKOTA’S ZAPPING COLLAR & CABELA THE BROWN-NOSER

Yesterday, Dakota got to wear the GPS boundary collar, and let’s just say... she was NOT a happy camper! ⚡️

Dakota is just like a toddler: the absolute second you turn your back on her, she vanishes in an instant! Then Dad has to wander around searching for her. Nine times out of ten, she’s over at the neighbor’s house hunting for rabbits. Needless to say, yesterday Dakota found out exactly how that collar works! LOL! 🐇⚡️

Meanwhile, Cabela is a total brown-noser. She just lays in the yard like a little angel and doesn't go anywhere. My parents are always praising her, saying, "Oh, Cabela is such a good dog!!" I swear she is Mom’s absolute favorite. 🙄🐶

📞 ANIMAL PROTECTION SERVICES HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED!

Well, yesterday afternoon my parents completely ABANDONED my sisters and me! They left to go to some party at our grandparents' house and didn’t even bother to take us with them! 🚗💨

And of course... they were LATE getting home!! We were literally starving and severely neglected! Naturally, we had no choice but to dial APS (Animal Protection Services) to report the abuse. 📱🚨

I only got ONE single round of fetch yesterday. ONE!! Such blatant neglect and mistreatment—the next thing you know, our parents are going to end up on the 6 o'clock news for dog neglect. 🗞️📺

Hope everyone had a nice, lazy holiday weekend!

Currently filing official paperwork with APS,

Entry #111: Rainy Labor Day Strikes, The Greenhouse Kitten Heist, and BarkBox Unboxing! 🌧️🐱📦

Hey Fans! Happy rainy Labor Day!! ☔️

Did you know I don’t do rain? I absolutely detest rain so much that I am seriously considering peeing on the truck tires in the garage instead of stepping one single paw outside today! 🛻💧
My parents are currently taking bets on whether I will even agree to go on a walk today. Honestly, that is still very much up in the air—it’s dark outside and I am fully wrapped up like a burrito in my cozy blanket on the couch. Do not disturb! 🛌 Blanket mode: ON.

🐱 THE GREENHOUSE KITTEN HIDEOUT
Now let’s talk about yesterday's exciting news: THE KITTENS ARE BACK!! 🐈‍⬛💥
And better yet, I officially discovered their top-secret hideout! Turns out, Mom’s greenhouse is Headquarters for 4 little kittens. I spent several glorious hours yesterday sprinting back and forth along the perimeter, trying every angle to break into the greenhouse and say "Hello!"
Mom and Dad say the kittens definitely have to go. There is zero chance these little guys can survive around here with three high-energy dogs constantly trying to "greet" them! 🐕🐕🐕
Mom says the kittens are extra feral and about 3 months old. So, public service announcement from Mom: Bring a live trap and they are yours! Please! 🪤🐈

📦 BARKBOX HAS ARRIVED!
My long-awaited BarkBox finally showed up on Saturday night! ...Though Mom didn't even bother handing it over until Sunday. (Rude, Mom!) 📦
Let me tell you, BarkBox is AMAZING! It came packed with delicious treats and two shiny new toys! But honestly? The absolute BEST part was the crinkly plastic bag the box was wrapped in. I had a total blast with that bag! 🎉

Seeing how much I love unwrapping things, Mom made a grim announcement about Christmas this year. She claims nothing is being placed under the Christmas tree this December because I will just unwrap every single gift myself. Come on, Mom, you are NO FUN!! I'm just helping! 🎄🎁

🫡 IMPORTANT PR ANNOUNCEMENT: UPCOMING HIATUS!
I am officially supposed to remind everyone that my Chief PR Rep (Mom) is heading out on military duty later this week! ✈️🇯🇵
She will be out of the country for a couple of weeks, which means... there will be NO PAGE UPDATES while she is gone. Sorry, folks! Dad clearly cannot be trusted with a camera or social media posting duties. 🎥🙅‍♂️

The good news? My PR Rep is officially retiring from the military at the end of the year! So after 2026 wraps up, there will be zero excuses left for missing updates! 🎖️🫡
Staying under my blanket until the rain stops,

Entry #110: Mac & Cheese Supervision, The Waiting Game, and the Hidden Deer Stampede! 🧀🌾🦌

Hey Fans! Yesterday was absolute chaos and full of adventure! I hate to admit it, but I was almost run over by a whole herd of deer... but we will get to that crazy story in a second! 🐾

🧀 ZERO-DROPPED-CHEESE DISASTER
The parents started off the morning in full hustle mode getting ready for their big wedding catering gig. Mom whipped up 10 entire pans of Mac & Cheese! 🤤
Now, you'd think with that much cheese moving around, at least one tiny shred of cheddar would find its way to the outdoor kitchen floor for my official cleaning services, right? NOPE! Not a single shred fell. Unbelievable precision, Mom. 🧀🙅‍♂️
Because the parents had to leave for the event, Dad had to squeeze in all of our mandatory walks before noon. Everything was super rushed, but a schedule is a schedule!

🏈 TRACE VISITS THE WAITING GAME
The second we got back from our 2nd mandatory walk, I trotted straight out into the field for mandatory fetch time. Of course, Dad was busy loading up equipment, so I sat right down in the grass to launch another round of The Waiting Game.

While I was out there holding down the field, my human brother Trace stopped by! Did he walk out into the field to say hi or give me a scratch? NOPE! He just stood by his truck. Look, Trace—if you want a proper greeting from me, you've gotta bring out the tennis ball! 🏈 Squeeze the ChuckIt if you want to say hi!

Eventually, everyone went inside, leaving just Dad and me out there. And you already know how this ends: I WON AGAIN!! 🏆🥇

🦌 THE SECRET DEER STAMPEDE
Here is where things got wild. While I was sitting in the middle of the field locked in high-stakes staring-contest mode with Dad, what I didn't realize was that a whole herd of deer was creeping across the field right behind me!
Apparently, one of the deer had stopped super close to me and was staring at my backside, trying to figure out what kind of strange spotted creature I was! 🦌👀
Dad saw what was happening, calmly walked into the garage, grabbed my tennis ball, and called me in. The second I saw that ball, I turned around and SPRINTED straight to the house like a rocket—completely oblivious to the giant herd of deer standing right behind me! 🚀💨

Dad said I almost got trampled, but hey... a win in the Waiting Game is a win! 🎾
Recovering from my near-miss with wildlife,
