My Adventure in Sainsbury's

I have had a bit of an adventure this evening! The Owner needed to go to Sainsburys for some groceries. I was confident that this may include the odd Bonio or Markie so I allowed him to go, but wait up... he is taking me too! Sainsburys are my favourite!! We went off with Ugly Sister in his big car but The Owner had "Bizniz" to deal with in town so The Owner opted to get out and walk round town. After presenting Bill with an envelope similar to the ones which seem to cause The Owner so much angst, we wandered to Sainsburys (which The Owner referred to as Sainsbugs and then laughed loudly at his own joke). When we got to Sainsbugs (he has got me at it now) I sat outside and was put on trust. Which means I have to sit outside in the rain like a lemon and get wet. To others it means I am not tied up outside the shop and have to behave myself. I sat there getting wet, awaiting the return of The Owner and as it was raining there was little option of any treats from any passer by. I was understandably despondent and then I heard it. Inside they have a "ping pong ping" announcement thingy, which asked for Mr Jack Greening to report somewhere and then they said "Jack, will you go to the checkouts?" I didn't need asking a second time, it was wet out there! I rushed in and Shop Manager Hoomun tried to greet me (I thought) with open arms. Well it was The Owner I was looking for so I was not about to let Shop Manager Hoomun catch me! I ran (athletically) down the row and more shop hoomuns joined the game, I have to report it was quite fun. But it was The Owner I was looking for so I ran on. More shop hoomuns... no match for my athletic manner. Although I have to report they were becoming more cunning and quite quite persistent. Not a problem.... I would just run around them! Ah... first problem... shiny floors and wet paws....not a problem I thought, it won't take them long to rebuild that stand. Traction was becoming more difficult as I ran into the olive oil stand and slid into the special offer half price wine stand. I found The Owner, predictably, at the sherry shelf. Well I don't think it would take them more than a day or so to put it all back together, which is better than some of The Owners little mistakes, they are still in bits after twelve months! I am thinking we may have to shop in Tescos from now on. Shop Manager didn't seem very friendly!
