For the avoidance of doubt ...

• not a film quote
  

... let it hereby be know that Ted, owner and feeder of me - Dr Johnson, writes this blog in an extremely tongue in cheek fashion giving scant regard to the realities of life. Please do not take anything written here as the gospel truth.
Bacon, bacon, bacon is a parody of a British TV advert for dog treats and in no way implies that I am actually fed piggy bacon by Ted. Similarly the content of the blog entries concerning the Evil Empire are no more directly related to their titles than smoke in the wind.
So, Dear Anonymous who left the comment on Wednesday's entry, please be assured that I am fed exclusively on Nutro Natural Choice Lamb Small Bites as recommended by the American Brittany Rescue Organization.
