My oh so GREAT Adventure at the Home Depot Store...

Good morning everyone! I'm Ragan Barwick, a LBD from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and I LOVE shopping! 
Here is the Sunday Morning re-run.....
Me and Pop went to the Home Depot last week and it was a pretty interesting trip. We got there a little before they opened, so we sat in the parking lot and shared a ham biscuit while waiting. Except for those nice people in orange aprons (they have treats!) that work there, the store was almost empty. We stopped about midway down an aisle and Pop said it was a good time to see if I was a “Good Dog” He un–clipped me from the leash told me to STAY and walked away. About 20 feet from me, he held his hand up and told me to STAY again, then he went around the corner to the next aisle. (He doesn't know that I saw him peak around the corner to see if I was staying.) I think (HOPE) Pop was in the plumbing section getting the material to make me a MAGNUM MARSHMELLER SHOOTER for my Christmas present.
I'm a Very Patient LBD
Well, after sitting there and minding my own business for about a minute, I realized I was eye to eye with a whole bunch of rolls of blue painters tape. So I’m thinking my Ole Pop was really looking after me, leaving me with all these chew toys to occupy my time. I started on a roll of ¾ inch, realized the 1½ inch was right beside it, so I was just getting a good grip on that when Lo and Behold there was a contractors pack of 5 rolls all in one! When I took it off the shelf, it started rolling away from me, so I stopped it and just lay down and went to work on it. About that time Pop came around the corner and hollered RAGAN DON'T! and I decided it might be in my best interest to evacuate the area so I took off the other direction, but as I was trying to grab the aforementioned roll of ¾ inch tape, I kinda’ spun out and ran into a floor display of caulk, that was on sale. My collision dislodged a few tubes of caulk from the display, so I figured on putting some distance between me and Pop until I could see out how much trouble I was in. I went over to the next aisle and came up on two of those orange apron people that just busted out laughing when they saw me trotting down the aisle with a roll of blue tape. About that time, I heard Pop say, “YOUNG LADY!!! VEN AKA! (That’s Spanish for COME and he only uses it when he means bi'ness.) So when I got to the end of the aisle I did the belly crawl until I could peak around the corner. I made eye contact with Pop,as he was picking up tubes of caulk, and the sight of me peaking around the corner got the best of him. He just started laughing and shaking his head. So when he said 'Come Goof Ball' I figured all was well. 
So we got the PVC and stuff to make me a Marshmeller Shooter…..and 7 rolls of slightly nibbled blue painters tape and one damaged tube of caulk. Plus treats at the checkout counter. I LOVE going to Home Depot!!!.....Ragan Don’t………..Standing By
