Well, the jubilant travellers returned home with big smiles and happy dogs. It was a successful foray south of the border. Perhaps equally important, Chantelle brought Our Ken a new hat from L L Bean. Her esp was on high alert since Clint had demolished his favourite red hat on this cloudy June day. Our Ken has this little proclivity, you see. He closes no door because you never know when you might need something else from that cupboard/drawer/room/desk/you get the idea. And every surface that has been uncovered by Lee in her quest for dome order in life is immediately deemed a 'flat surface' and fair game. Well, this flat surface bore his hat - error. Clint was being trimmed and put down loose for a break - error. Hat was customized - logical outcome of multiple errors. Lesson learned? Not likely. But, the new hat is pretty darned impressive - it is a three lighter with a special beam. That Chantelle is 'some savvy'. The rest of the day was filled with paper and phone calls for Lee and gardening for Our Ken. The birds are busy sitting on eggs or rebuilding nests so straw is everywhere and the dogs are amazed by the industry.
The kennel is fine. Naomi and Moses are holding the fort with Moses firmly in charge of all he surveys. He does love that job. Buzz the rescue is learning the ropes. He is eating his new food and settling some. He is ratcheting down a bit and a little bit less rambunctious on his walks from his run to the exercise yards. A move forward for this fellow is a good thing.
The house dogs are well but darned tired of rain, They are at the stage of having to be coaxed outside at best and hauled out at worst, only to sit under the roof of the covered porches or decks. Enough is enough in Airedale speak. The little Norwich flatly refuse to go out and Paula says she is going to drown. Marguerite and the puppies are thriving. Visitors were here and admired the puppy as they plan for the day one will go home with them. A great couple, the puppy that will find itself in a wonderful situation. Our only slight concern was the husband's bonding with Piper. Lee carefully counted noses as they departed. He can pick a great Airedale!
Dinner was a work up to Lee's leaving later in the week. There was prime rib roast with gravy and roasted potatoes, new baby carrots and peas with rhubarb pie fresh from the oven.
