Today, I got to accompany my awesome chauffeur, Ben, to his most excellent ladies place of employment. Once there, they left me, and I thought I was all alone again. But just when I thought I wouldn’t have any company, I see them walking back! With lunch!!

Now, they got some subway sandwiches, which are the type of things I might enjoy a piece of, but they didn’t even offer me a bite! It’s ok, I wasn’t that upset. Besides, the beautiful Janelle gave me a kiss!!!!

She is so lovely! Her kiss made me totally forget about ever eating!!

What a great day!! I wish everyday could be as great as this! Of course, I didn’t know that this would be the last time I ever saw Ben and Janelle…..

Busch Stadium, grocery shopping and more!

Yesterday, my chauffeur, Ben, took me around Saint Louis, and it was great! First, we went to Busch Stadium so he could get $11 tickets to the game (sidenote, Ben says it’s not a great deal on a sold out night, you get standing room tickets and it’s hard to find a seat).

Here I am at Busch!! Don't I look happy?

After my chauffeur gave me the tour of Busch, he took me shopping. It seems he needs food you have to buy in a store. I get by scrounging on whatever I can find. I have a leathery mouth and can eat practically any vegetation including thorns, dry vegetation and salt bush that other mammals avoid. Awful convenient for me, eh?

See all that food he needs? Show me a decent shrub and I'll be happy!

On our travels, I did get complimented by the bank teller, (I think she might have something for me!) and some random guy driving next to me. People are jealous!!!

Undoubtedly the future holds great things for me!!

Meet Fred:

HI! I'm Fred!! I live in a truck bed!!

Allow me to tell you a little bit about Fred. I can’t believe that we found Fred, but we did. I was picking up Janelle from her place, and I drove through the alley. This gem was just sitting there next to a dumpster. I was immediately drawn to him. I just wanted to throw him in my truck right then, but I wasn’t sure just what to do. I mean, I’m the guy that had a Christmas tree up in my house, decorated, for 4 years. And I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. So, I decided to see what Janelle said.

So when we get in the car, I just back up the alley. She asks whats up, and I tell her I have to show her something. She starts to turn around, and I say, “Don’t turn around (cause you’re gonna see my heart breakin’)” (OK, so I didn’t say the last part that time, but I have before, and I thought about it). Anyway, we pull up next to him, and I see she has the exact same immediate reaction I do. She asks why I haven’t already put him in my truck. So, in he goes.

Well, I just left him there for the day, then I showed up to my business meeting Tuesday morning and got asked about him during the meeting, where I explained the story to all of them. That is when I decided that Fred would live in the bed of my truck. Now I have decided to tell you all about his adventures. Someday Fred might get his own website, but for now, he’ll live here.

On Fred’s first full day in his new home, he got to take a trip to my brother Tim’s house where he met my nephew, Ahren, and nieces Lydia and Annie. Here are some photos I took to commemorate the event.

And possibly my favorite, Annie making her "happy" face, Ahren in his football stance, and Lydia just watching.

There will be more to come soon on the Great Adventures of Fred, so stay tuned!!
