"In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart."

• The Diary of Anne Frank

That's what Ted says but then he choses his friends carefully. Others may be of dubious character or their opinions may change with the direction of the wind or even depending on the day of the week. Those people do not appeal to Ted and so he does not take them to lunch.

It occurs to me that Ted is spending too much of his time enjoying lunch with his lady friends and he should come home more often to take me, his faithful companion, out for walks!

By the way, at the weekend, Buddy and Bella came to visit and helped us to put our tethered ball into a concrete base so now the little Teds have a new toy and I can run around and around the pole chasing this bright yellow ball which seems to have a mind of its' own!
