Life at Regalridge stays busy. Our Ken managed a trip to the village on this cool first full day of summer. He claimed the plow blade for his tractor and was highly pleased with himself. A haircut and a bit of fishing at the Superstore rounded out his voyage. Then it was on to gardening and following Patti who was following Felicia. The little parade is always winsome. Chantelle dropped off her crew in preparation for a business trip. Clem has settled in, ensured that we remember well how to speak Clem and is in her element. Her mobility is improved, her memory is good for getting around the property and her appetite is strong. Chantelle is keeping her in great shape at her very advanced age (that would be Clem's advanced age, not Chantelle's). Viola is happy to have her pal Lily to talk to and particularly pleased that Lily lives in the downstairs apartment. As far as we can tell, they talked all night. There was an ATA meeting that encouraged good organization from mid-afternoon on. The Regalridge-mobile was at Margot's before the scheduled meeting start time - apparently we are late only when Chantelle is with us - who knew! Arwyn is still missing in Northport and Lee is planning to go tomorrow to help in the search.
The kennel is quiet and houses happier dogs now that the rains have abated. Bella departed with a cheery wave. We will soon kn ow who she turned over the managerial duties to. Brando has done very well. He is now relaxed and has taken in the kennel routine beyond a level that had been anticipated when he arrived. Buzz continues to buzz.
The house dogs are well. Patti is always tickled when Felicia is here. She is also inspired by Clem's visits and seems to take the challenge of being the active geriatric much more seriously when Clem is on a bed next to her. Seems to be a bit of an insult in Patti's world to be classed in the same decade as the old dogs. Marguerite and her family are well. The little ones have cottoned on to food and think that this addition to their world is pretty good. The next step is the patriation to the den. That is always fun.
Dinner was halibut with an herb and wine sauce, riced potatoes, fresh asparagus (we get mileage out of local asparagus at this time of year) and corn from Costco. Dessert was butterscotch pudding late in the evening for out Ken and another day is ahead.
