Cyber dog

Some of you may remember a robot dog, K9 who appeared in many of the Doctor Who series, I think with Peter Davidson and possibly John Pertwee. He was metallic, looked like a doggy version of Kryten from Red Dwarf and from memory was not particularly appealing. Well, we in the Claus household have gone one better. Reindeer Hugh has his own Facebook Page although he is masquerading as his alter ego, Hugh the Greyhound. We thought he was the first reindeer/dog to have his own Facebook Page but no, Kip Enzie beat us to it. I suspect she has a very high pedigree and so probably expects these thingswhilst for Hugh it is an exciting adventure. He and Kip Enzie are "friends" and correspond regularly, especially about Kip Enzie's new outside toilet. (if you want to see photos then go to her page - she doesn't have a blog yet). Hugh has other admirers including Rosie, a transatlantic affair although Rosie has to sneak onto her Mom's computer to send her messages. Rosie is a party animal and has her own photos on Facebook but I am not going to tell you how to find her as that would give away her secret to Mom. Dusty isn't allowed to have her page but her Mum sends messages from time to time so Hugh can keep up with her news.
Back at the day job the elves are revolting (in the rebellious rather than ugly or smelly way [in fact one of them is very pretty]). They work in one of the outer grottos and had trouble with the wrong type of snow earier in the year. Their sleigh driver quite before Christmas, just at our busiest time and they have never really recovered. The boss elf says she doesn't want the responsibility any more and wants to stand down. Yorkshire Lad who controls my budget says I can't recruit a replacement for either her or the sleigh driver until the elves get more money coming in to cover their costs. How am I supposed to generate income when our season doesn't start for another 8 months?
Mrs Claus is calling so I have to go but will finish later so you will get two blogs for the price of one
