Unexpected Otter in the bagging area

January 28th, 2010

otter in the supermarket

“Unexpected Otter in the bagging area”

Yesterday was super exciting! I thought it was just going to be a normal evening but then Otter Keeper announced we were going “late night shopping”. After a brief question and answer session with Otter Keeper, me and Teddy worked out that late night shopping was just like normal shopping (which I love) …..but closer to bedtime.

The Supermarket is a really great place, that’s why it’s called the “Super” market. There are lots of wonderful exciting things to buy and some of them are at just the right height for an otter to reach. I had a great time walking round the supermarket but apparently I was causing too much mischief (shelf climbing is so much fun!) so I got strapped into the special otter seat on the big basket with wheels. It was a bit like my booster seat in the car all over again. However I was able to use my vantage point to select special items I may not have seen otherwise, so this was handy really.

In a supermarket, when you want to go home you have to put all the food in bags at a special machine. This was the best bit of all because Otter Keeper let me help (for a while). A lady lives somewhere inside the machine and talks to you, I know this because she talked to me and said I was an “unexpected Item in the bagging area” The lady is a bit silly, I explained to her that I was Otter.. but she just kept saying the same thing, I think this is because we are not quite friends yet and she wasn’t expecting visitors. This won’t be a problem next time because I will ask Otter Keeper to tell her that we are coming in advance. It’s only polite after all.

I very much enjoyed my shopping trip and the best thing is that Otter Keeper got me a special thing called a “customer feedback form?” this is basically a special letter (just for otter’s I think) that you use to write to the supermarket people to tell them what a good time you had in their supermarket and how much you really REALLY love it. i’m filling this in tonight, and I can’t wait! I am also giving Teddy a special lesson in supermarkets – he needs to be brought up to speed on how great they actually are, and I feel it’s also important for him to know where food actually comes from in the real world.
unfortunately he couldn’t come on the trip as he had to stay behind to guard a picture I’ve drawn with my new crayons (it’s a really good one and I thought Kate might try and steal it)

The Problem with Shopping

July 1st, 2009

Shopping tragedy!!

SHOPPING is really really fun. Keeper sometimes takes me on the first day of the weekend which i think is Saturday. I have to wear my harness which gets annoying but Otter Keeper says I get too excited. I love to talk to all the people (although they can’t hear me because I’m an otter – but this doesn’t bother me really)

However shopping is also a bit annoying because Otter Keeper can be really mean! He won’t let me buy things. I have explained to him many times that I NEED certain things and it’s really IMPORTANT that he gets them for me. The last shopping trip he was particularly extra mean

You see, being an Otter I need lots of things I need otter feed, I need Otter Keeper, I also need free toys from cereal packets etc But one of the most important things an otter needs are Hannah Montana posters!! Whilst shopping I found a wonderful poster (I think it had been made especially for me to put on our wall next to my basket) but (and I still find this really hard to believe because the poster was REALLY good) Otter Keeper wouldn’t let me have it!!!!

This was a few days ago But I’m still really angry with him, How would he like it if he wasn’t allowed to buy things he needed! He’s gone to work now and although I miss him… I’m going to go and hide his slippers. I hope this will teach him a lesson, then he will take me to get the poster and I shall release the slippers unharmed.

I just don’t understand, Maybe Hannah Montana did something to make him angry? Surely he understands why we needed this poster. I just hope it’s still there next week once he has realised his mistake…
