Life is ticking along at Regalridge with little Airedales keeping everyone busy. Adding to the baby enjoyment was the annual age update for Lee. Alicia came to keep a lid on all concerned and the regalridgemobile departed, finding its way to the Wolfville market and some city shopping. The market is a great one, a real farm market with high quality produce, excellent bread, local specialty meats and some artisan work. The great find was a wood turner who specializes in cutting boards. Lee has been pining for a bread board and a board to cover the griddle on the stove top. Both were commissioned from this enterprising young man whose specialty woods and skills are impressive. Costco was pillaged (new dog beds were on the list and Charlotte is relieved). Costco is always interesting and never more so on this day. Lee turned a corner with her cart as a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday started. Her look of amazement equalled the look of total mortification on the face of a young woman who was being serenaded. Her brothers had found her shopping in Costco, it seemed. Lee leaned over and shared the coincidence. The mortification turned to a huge smile and left both with a story to remember for years to come. The trip home was followed by a jaunt to Chantelle's for a great party. That girl can make appetizers that would make a chef envious. Alicia, armed with her excellent equipment, found time to shoot some images of the puppies so blog updates are imminent. The weather has remained warm, even though there was a little rain interspersed with sunny periods. A change is coming, however, with colder weather to arrive overnight. The birds are plentiful and numbers are climbing. Bird seed will be the requested Christmas gift, we fear.
The kennel is busy with the pre-holiday crews. June's little characters are in residence and are in charge - of what we aren't completely certain. Talea is rolling along and pointing her little paw, assuming others are following her rules. London shakes her head and knows perfectly well that it is she who is in charge. Morgan doesn't care. Lola and Kaleigh are delighted to be on vacation, are enjoying the big yard with Trebia and are playing Airedale games that only sisters know.
The house crew enjoy Alicia's visits so all is well in their world. Charlotte will eventually get up from her new bed, we are quite certain. To this point, however, the head is slightly raised and a 'look' is given any who come near. Piper sang the annual song to Lee early in the morning and the youngsters joyously joined in with their best voice. Not having the words down pat, the song was practised a couple more times through the evening. Our Ken is always slightly less amused than Lee at these excellent renditions.
Dinner was annual meal fare with fabulous cupcakes to top it off. Life is good.
