A touch of French at DR TOOT !

Wow…so hot !  Summer came early this year in New Zealand.  Big sis Zara and I enjoy the beautiful weather everyday – running around in my kingdom and lying down under the trees.  If I’m hungry, I come home and eat…and go out again :-)  I’ve been a good boy, so I don’t stay outside too late.  I normally come home around 5.00pm for the day.  As we are cats at DR TOOT, we stay inside at night time - discipline, discipline :-)

At DR TOOT, you see lots of things and people coming in and going out.  Another Yamaha alto sax YAS32 has found a new home in Tauranga.  Mummy told me that the saxophone is the best seller at DR TOOT.  There were two of these saxes that arrived from Japan just a couple of weeks ago and have left DR TOOT already. 

One day, another famous saxophone arrived in our house.  He is a tenor sax and his name is Selmer Mark Vl from Paris, France.  He is much bigger than me…scary !  I saw mummy and daddy looking at the saxophone, and it was sooooooooooo dirty.  He is the same age as daddy…yep, he is oldy :-)  I also saw mummy polishing all the keys and daddy was working on the body.  After a few days later, Zara and I were suuuppprrriiiiiiised to see it again !  The silver saxophone turned into the handsome young looking !!!  Mamma mia…lost my word…so shinny !  Mummy will list it on Pre-Loved Instruments at DR TOOT and TradeMe – check this out ;-)

Speaking of TradeMe, a lady from the West came to see daddy with a saxophone which she has purchased through TradeMe…si’, she didn’t buy it from DR TOOT…never mind, at least she knew where to come :-)  She asked daddy to service it.  It’s for her son as a Christmas present…ummmm, someone’s very lucky !  What will I get for this Christmas…!?????

We had a couple from the North to pick up his French Horn.  He was so happy to see the shinny French Horn.  If the customers are happy, Zara and I are happy too :-)  They pay…and I eat :-)))
