Runaway Rico

Been a very sad week this week.  As many of you know, on Tuesday we had a major earthquake in Christchurch.  Many people and pets have lost their lives.  Mummy and daddy, Rico and I pass on our love, prayers and best wishes to you all. 

This week has been a disturbing week at DR TOOT as well.  Last weekend our DR TOOT website crashed, leaving mummy left with so much work in rebuilding a new and better site.  The new site is up and running with new and funny pictures of my daddy.  He is so handsome !  Please take a look at and join our DR TOOT’s Facebook too J

Not only did the website crash, but our printer decided that enough was enough and died…mummy and daddy early in the morning went off to buy a new one.  It’s black like me but makes more noise than I do, and is more functional than Rico J

Speaking of Rico, I am not very happy…again !!!  Mummy and daddy went out for dinner leaving me in charge of the house while Rico was outside chasing butterflies.  When mummy and daddy came back (late), Rico still wasn’t here.  Rico didn’t come back till 3.00am !!!  And woke me up from my beauty sleep and took over my bed…not the first time, eh !?  So, today he sleeps and eats and sleeps and sleeps…and didn’t go out all day.  I think a full poo poo box tonight ;-)  Rico has major issues and later on tonight I will have to sit down with him and sort him out. 

It’s been busy for DR TOOT in the workshop.  Many instruments from private and schools have come in for their TLC and have gone out to their loving owners.  Later this week, we are expecting another shipment from Japan.  This includes many trumpets and two alto saxophones.  Some of these have homes to go to and some will be available soon for new homes.  

Again all our love and thoughts go out to our friends and customers in Christchurch.
