Dog-eat-dog world
rom her appearances to her credit card: Reveille y s life explained
By Erica York
THE BATTALION
The life of Reveille may appear to be all
otos and pampering, but this is a dog that has
tougher job than most Aggies realize.
“Reveille has a really tough lifestyle. She
Is to go to games, she has to be walked
t ound all the time and she has to be
P® 1 proached all the time,” said Mascot Corporal
^ r( * an Caddick. “That’s a lot to ask of a dog.
ostdogs just eat, go to the bathroom in the
ckyard and slobber everywhere.”
On the flip side, Caddick, a sophomore gen
ii studies major, admits Reveille :
is her own credit card but it is
ledfor necessities only.
“Granted, I have 1 a credit card,
jjim 1 guarantee you more money is
nt on other student organizations
anon her,” Caddick said. ”1 buy
rthings any dog would need. It’s
lot like I go out and buy diamond
pllars for her.”
Caddick said though Reveille
sn’t have diamond collars, she is
th to achieveilhigh maintenance dog.

“She’s the first lady of A&M, and

will try to steal extra food when he eats on
campus with her.
“One time she attacked a bagel I had in my
hand and she got about half of it,” Caddick said.
“I went hungry that morning.”
As a treat. Reveille occasionally gets steak
and chicken cooked for her from Duncan
Dining Hall, Caddick said.
When it comes to class time with Reveille,
Caddick said teachers usually follow the tradition
of dismissing class when Reveille barks.
“At the beginning of the year, she barked a
lot,” Caddick said. “Now she’s settling in more,
and she sleeps almost more than
I do.”
Kelly Jump, a senior market
ing major, said he once got out
of class when Reveille barked,
but only because Reveille was
persistent.
“Reveille barked once and the
teacher wouldn’t let us out,”
Jump said. “Then Reveille start
ed barking like crazy, so she had
to give in.”
Jump said he was surprised to
witness the tradition.
“I never knew if it was an
actual tradition or a rumor, so it

back in any way, shape or form.”
Caddick said if Reveille is not with him, she
is required to be with a sophomore in the Corps
unfit E-2 at all times because she can never be
left alone.
“She does everything with us. Everywhere
vego, she goes,” Caddick said. “I guess it’s
he other way around — everywhere she goes,
ve go.”
Kyle Goldman, a sophomore finance major
ind member of E-2, said Reveille seems more
ike a regular pet to him now.
“We get to deal with her on a personal level,”
Goldman said. “It’s funny for us to see how nuts
people go about Rev because to us in E-2, it’s
|ike she’s just our family dog.”
Caddick said Reveille has set meals, but
was pretty cool when it worked,” Jump said.
Caddick said Reveille will sleep at night if she
is really tired from her day, but she usually has
an event to attend.
“At least every other day, I have something
to take her to,” Caddick said. “It’s pretty consis
tent. We go visit little kids, we go visit elemen
tary schools around here, we talk to them about
the Reveille tradition, we talk to them about
A&M tradition and we tell them how bad ‘t-
sips’ are.”
Though Reveille has to look nice and attend
many special events, Caddick said Reveille just
wants to act like a regular dog sometimes.
“Sometimes I don’t think she realizes that she’s
Reveille. She’ll just run around in the rain some
times,” Caddick said. “We let her be a normal dog

every once in a while. She’s got so much puppy in
her still and she’s so playful.”
Caddick said despite rumors. Reveille has
never bitten anyone.
“You really have to hang out with her one on
one to find out how cool she really is. She’s a
great dog,” Caddick said. “All in all, it’s a
blast. It is so much fun to be able to take care
of this dog.”
Caddick said many people have voiced
opinions on how Reveille should behave in
public, but forget she is only 2 years old.
“One thing I’ve found out is that at
this university, everybody is an expert
on how to take care of Reveille and
how Reveille should act,” Caddick said.
“The truth of the matter is she’s a dog,
and nobody can predict and nobody
can tell her how she
should act and what’s
appropriate.”
While some people
may think Reveille lives
a spoiled life, Caddick
said Aggies should take
pride in one of A&M’s
most well-known traditions.
“We take pride in our
mascot because we’re
Aggies and we strive to be
the best,” Caddick said.
“So'why would you not
want to take care of one
of the most visible parts
of the University?”
Caddick said
he has to leave
an hour early
for class and is
often 15 min
utes late
wherever he
goes, but
Reveille is
worth it.
“How
often do you get the
chance to take care of a really cool dog that is fun
to hang out with for a year and be able to be an
ambassador for her, for all students and to all
Aggies,” Caddick said. “It’s a privilege to take
her around and promote the Aggie spirit.”
