It has been a busy week. Lee found her way to Moncton for meetings on the week end, spoke on various topics on several occasions for the CKC and found her way back to Regalridge by Sunday night (late). Our Ken held the fort ably assisted by Chantelle who was in residence through the days with her revolving gate of grooming friends. It is the time of year to put the gardens to bed, to sort out the yards in preparation for winter and to batten the proverbial hatches. The dogs are, of course, ably assisting the outdoor projects, white hats poised and polished. And it was on to Monday, the day of Our Ken's move to yet another decade of a great life. Lee had organized a little get together and as icing on the cake, Reg flew home form Calgary. There were 25 for dinner with a brother, sister-in-law, children, grand children and friends in great supply. Ken was delighted with the party, with the phone calls received through the evening from those who were unable to be here in person and with the celebration of this rite of passage. Then it was on to Toronto for Lee with a return home late Thursday night. Flights to and from Halifax are full with no available seats on planes. The economy seems to be strong based on the activity level of the airports. June made a trip out to work with the puppies. Great progress has been made due to her ministrations and little Airedale feet are now comfortably walking forward on show leads, enjoying her support and attention. Weather has been fabulous - sunny and warm so few complaints are heard as everyone takes advantage of these days before the onset of the usual cold, wet November days common to the East Coast.
The kennel has been moving forward easily. Miss ginger is packing her bags, having heard that Tom has finally found a map that will bring him to NS. The humming of America the Beautiful is heard throughout the kennel. The Terriers of Schenkville are in residence for a few days - Dover happily bonding with Abigail and May and the others settled nicely in the kennel. Lucy is in residence and sharing her thoughts. Little Bella has settled in and is in charge in her own mind. Sir Tip and his palace have migrated to Regalridge and Ken has dubbed him Toothy - a little fellow full of his own self and with significant opinions about just about any topic. He, too, must watch a great deal of BBC or CNN at home and feels free to share that knowledge with all who will listen in hi unassuming and targeted way.
The house crew are well ands happy. Piper was tickled to see Lee's suitcase enter the house and very unhappy to see it leave, mirroring Our Ken's feelings exactly. May is doing much better, has her food preferences firmly fixed and seems to have rebounded significantly. Every day is a blessing. The puppies are thriving. Their eyes are gleaming, their tails always in motion and the world is their oyster.
Beyond the birthday party, meals have been concocted by Our Ken - enough said.
