Sorry Beach Babe

Dear Beach Babe

I am very sorry that I mistakenly ripped up your voucher for the "Bounty Baby's Progress Pack" and that it got covered in cat food in the bin.

The cat food is now wiped off, and I will sellotape it back together once you have filled in your details.

Can I come out of the dog house yet?

Well, Dadaist - you may be in the dog house now - but you were in Kitchiner's this morning with Beach Babe and the beautiful Emily being embarassingly spladooshed by yours truly

.

And you just saved me the bother of searching for the 'Getting Bagged' thread!

You too

Did either of you witness the blind man's dog incident? It grabbed a sesame seed roll on its way out. Very unusual as these dogs are normally impeccably behaved but I think this one is due re-training.

Perhaps this dog is exceptionally trained - especially if the owner is partial to the occassional free sesame roll!

The owner didn't get a sniff of it. It was scoffed in seconds. I felt I had to inform him what had occurred because his dog was eyeing up the organic cheese whirls as well and there was a question of hygiene to consider. He was horrified and naturally offered to pay, though the assistant was happy just to assist him to the bus stop. A difficult and unfortunate situation well handled I should add, (in case Graham is lurking!)

Scandalous. I'm a laid back guy but if there's one thing I will not stand for, it's guide dogs who gratuitously steal sesame rolls. If it were just a pet I would not be so concerned - after all, they are not working, as such. But this is clearly a case of professional misconduct on the part of our canine friend. He is besmirching the honour and reputation of other non bakery purloining guide and hearing dogs in the UK and elsewhere.

We need to act now. First off, a vigilante group needs to sniff out and track down this hound and force the owner to re-imburse the Deli. The dog then needs to be sharply reprimanded, as does it's callous and neglectful owner.

Then we need to highlight and publicise this problem, although we may need to discuss whether we should restrict ourselves to sesame rolls, other kinds of roll, or sundry bread products.

I'm going to start work on a website and petition presently.

lol - what a good clever dog

I was thinking that perhaps I could train ChesterCat or Emily to surreptitiously swipe a pain au raisin for me but I don't really want to be targeted by a web campaign. And I do very much enjoy buying my lunch in there so perhaps I shouldn't be teaching my charges naughty things

was nice to meet you DG. And Dada's total embarrassment at being spladooshed was the highlight of my morning

oh, and yes, you can come out of the dog-house now Dada as long as you make my lunch

It's been a bit of a bad dog day all round really. Have you considered re-training?

Glad I could be of service, BB! Nice to meet you too

Now that I think of it, most of the things dogs do I really like doing too.

Woof.

You see. Absolutely barking.

I would never have spladooshed you if I thought there was a chance that you'd sniff my bottom - however much Beach Babe was amused

Our neighbour used to have a labrador who once stole a pie out of the oven in Greggs (well, he had to - he didn't have change of a Ã‚Â£5

)

Do you fall off the sofa often, given the contortions involved?

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 20 Nov 2004, 19:27

I'm not the world's most co-ordinated soul, and there is more than likely a good probability of me falling off the floor, let alone the sofa.

I am also a messy eater.

that's definately true - Emily manages better than you
