And another day at Regalridge unfolds. There was lots of activity, a project in the exercise yards and a busy kitchen. Chantelle had been away so a dinner was in the works to welcome her back to Hants County. Our Ken turned it into a party, inviting his buddy Jimmy because there was to be gravy so a party was in order and |Jimmy likes gravy. Lee mentioned that Dawn might like to come along. A cool morning gave way to sun and a warm afternoon - perhaps the first since last fall. Clint coerced Lee to several games of toy throw - Clint is the only Airedale who will consistently return the toy. The others run, grab and taunt - a completely different game. Charlotte spends much of her day with a large rubber toy sticking out of her teeth, trotting up and down the yard, looking expectant. There was a haircut fitted in to Our Ken's schedule as well as a trip to Co-Op. He is a new man! But the big news is that Arwyn, the missing Airedale, has been found. Lee was off to Northport when she received the news that a phone call had been received from a Vet clinic advising that people had been in touch with them and had a dog matching Arwyn's description on their couch. She had appeared one morning on their door step and settled in until her lots family came for her. Miss Arwyn was oblivious to the panic and mayhem she had caused. We are relieved.
The kennel is well. Buzz is spending as many hours as possible in the big exercise yards, working to assimilate and trying to figure out the life of an Airedale. A new piece of information a week is the rate of learning. "Wait" is a command that is important to the safety of this fellow and he is trying hard to be consistent in applying the word to his active thought process. Trebia enjoyed supervising Ken's construction project. Scooter thought it a waste of time - time that would have been much better spent playing ball, in Miss Scooter's viewpoint. Brando is doing well, enjoying the big exercise yards and looking forward to each meal.
The house dogs enjoy busy kitchen days. There were Norwich under foot, Piper and Marilla strategically placed and Lori passing through. Patti made cameo appearances and Paula performed her alligator routine. All was normal. Chantelle's crew is in residence so there is lots of increased activity, Clem is meting out orders in Clem-style and Scout, Jessie and Viola are keeping up the side.
Dinner was a success. There was roast pork with potatoes, gravy, asparagus and candied carrots. And there was a sour cherry pie - the first in a long while and well received. There was wine at dinner and ice wine with dessert. No one got up from the table hungry.
