All is well at Regalridge - it did not pour rain. It was a day of hunting and gathering including a dismal failure at Canadian Tire. Apparently the week long sale as advertised in the flyer is actually a six day sale with the last day devoted to setting up for the next week's sale. That means that the items on the advertised sale have been returned to the warehouse. No hubcaps for the Toyota were the result since they were not only on sale but were not even available. Costco offered up its usual plunder including some much yearned after appliance for the rain gutters. Our Ken has been talking about this add in since he first spied the boxes but for some reason had not purchased them Lo and behold, they were on the 'deals of the week' paper and a new cart was immediately sought. Our Ken was happy. Lee found two books to support the upcoming trip so it was a good hunt. In and around the hunting and gathering, there was lots of email and some movement of paper.
The kennel is moving along nicely and all were delighted with the day that was drier than wet. Barrett and Trebia had races - both won - every race. How does that happen? We have no idea but both agree that the outcome is always a two way win - not a tie, a two way win. Only Barret and Trebia would have figured that out. Laurel has decided that the kennel is no longer for her. She moved to the front yard where life is much better in a Laurel-world and is happily part of the house crew. Old Bailey is well and happy with her rules and her kennel dictates. Buzz continues to be Buzz - making slow progress back to learning to be an Airedale. His strength is that there is a stable temperament underneath his exuberance.
The house dogs are more content. Was there a mention that there is some potential for sun two days in a row? It is not warm but at least there is enough space between rains for the lawns to morph from bog to marsh. And yes, that is an improvement. Marguerite is delighting in her family - a wonderful mother and a great Airedale. Her puppies are now up on their feet and giving some thought to the worked around them. All is well in their world. Patti is improved with her meds seeming to better support her ailing heart. She is not missing a meal and spent much of this day supervising her puppy Felicia as she worked around the property. Patti likes her white hat and rarely takes it off - just ask the Bull Mastiff at the vet hospital who was welcomed to Patti's world.when he dared come and stand over her as she sat with her back to Lee in good I'm-annoyed -with-you Airedale fashion. A wonderful benefit of this being a quiet period in the kennel is Felicia's decision ( a la Ken) to groom all of the house dogs. All are in great condition with their new spring look. As each dog is done, they proudly show off the new look to all who will pay attention.
Dinner was again a nod to an earlier season with pork chops (finished in the oven), fried apples, potatoes, squash and corn scallop. Surely this will end soon with warmer weather and meals on the grill. Our Ken continues to wear his down vest. Life goes on . . .
