Life ticks along with spring arriving and bright days. Chantelle and Our Ken went to the city for a Terrier meeting leaving Lee to hold the fort. Late afternoon brought the two home, Ken to garden and Chantelle to finish up her grooming of Brea. The meeting report was that Dawn does a good job in the Chair - high praise from Our Ken. It was a lovely spring day with heat from the sun and a pleasant, if breezy, evening. New species of bird seem to be arriving daily as they return to their northern habitat. The feeder is never more interesting than in April. The pheasants are enjoying the big front yard and spending more time enjoying the property beyond the chestnut tree.
Lucy's nose is out of joint. There is an interloper next to Nemo - her boyfriend - and Lucy wants her gone NOW! She has seen and wants things changed. Savannah is oblivious to Lucy's concern, enjoys Nemo's company and all is right in her world. Given Lucy's state of mind, that won't last. Nemo is tickled to have two good looking girls interested in him. Carter has decided to train Chantelle and Ken. Having forgone food for a bit, he is now being hand fed - that means people sitting on the floor with him, putting the food in their hands and offering it with pleading voices that progress to grovelling if Carter doesn't immediately take what is on offer. Way to go Carter. Penny doesn't need a lead any more. She has figured out her favourite play area and escorts Carter to the run in true Airedale-in-control style. Poe has his own routine, stays outside only for a short while and acts as the Wal Mart greeter on his forays about the kennel. Stickley thinks he is certifiable. Stickley is eating well and enjoys his ins and outs. His favourite time of day is bedtime when the bed treats are doled out. That has him on his feet, ready and waiting with an intense Greyhound gaze. Bed treats are important in his life. Dewi is settled in. We will find a home for him in time.
The house dogs are thinking spring is a good time. Warm weather and sunshine are pleasures only surmounted by rain and mud. Life is good when you're an Airedale. Clem managed to convince Lee that a dog bed in the kitchen would be a good thing. She is now settled in with her watchful eye and stretched out in a particularly inconvenient spot. That's the way Clem likes it, uh huh. The little Norwich had their world perk up. Chantelle didn't manage to get them put away for the end of day parade. That meant a good run at Chantelle's ankles and a connection - way to go May. That will keep the little one smiling for a month. Chantelle, not so much but it was a commendable howl.
The day was spent making hot cross buns (took a bit of cookbook searching since Lee forgoes internet recipes) to great success. 'Tis the season after all. Dinner was grilled burgers and homemade mac and cheese. Patti likes mac and cheese and Our Ken made that point. Dessert was the end of the maple cake and a small slice of gingerbread as a counter point. Life is good.
