Why don't you come up sometime and see me?

• She Done Him Wrong
  

The concept of making appointments for folks to come into the Evil Empire Emporium is just fine and dandy until you get a day when lots of folks come in of their own accord . This is where it all goes horribly pear shaped and potentially dangerous as folks can be mightily unreasonable when they think they have been wronged.

Actually Ted tells me that Saturday was not a bad day. Of course it started well when we met up with Bella and Buddy in the ball park and had a good long romp which tired me out. That Bella just doesn't know when to leave a guy alone so I had to tell her to give it a rest after a while. Bella wants me to go on and on for ever whereas I just want to rush round the park once or twice and then lie down exhausted. Ted tells me there is a correlation there with a particular human behavior but I'm too young for him to explain it to me?

On the way home from the park we passed Senga going in the opposite direction - was she spying on us or is it possible that she actually has a life outside the Evil Empire?

Ted dropped me off at home and then went to the Donut Palace for his breakfast; why he told me this later instead of taking me with him and buying me a pig in a blanket is anyones guess.

Anyway Ted was kept occupied all morning, mostly with nice kind folks who just needed this or that, but of course there is always someone willing to spoil the happy atmosphere. There was one advocate for the Extinction of the Evil Empire amongst today's customers but she kind of liked Ted's accent and softened considerably during the course of their meeting. She still took her business elsewhere but said she appreciated Ted's input.

What can I say? Ted - good, Evil Empire - bad.

Buddy turned up at the Emporium with his son who needed to buy stuff and of course it was only fitting that he should give his dad these sales. Wee Jeanie also appeared with her son who wanted to see where mommy worked. I hope son of Jeanie was not too traumatized by his introduction to the Evil Empire Emporium!

Well I'm being left at home again this afternoon because Ted is helping an uncle move some stuff in his truck. They tell me there won't be any room for DR Johnson when they are all loaded up and they wont let me stand on top of the load cos they say I'll fall out of the truck. I guess that is a sensible decision - but I'm not happy being left Home Alone ..... Now there's a possible tag line for another blog entry.
