It was a lovely June day for Kelsey's first day of work at Regalridge and her barn background 
shows. This great little teenager fitted in seamlessly and Patti fell in love with her. There was no difficulty figuring out where Kelsey was because Patti was either shadowing her or sitting at the last gate she went
through. Patti is in for a good summer and Kelsey is tickled that she has been 'chosen' by the Queen Bee.
There was lots of activity with Queenie and Hershey leaving - so long Labs - and settling the kennel for the upcoming week. The little Maltese managed their fiefdom with their usual aplomb,
waving bye to the big guys going out the door and turning back to their duties as kennel manager extraordinaire. They really are the comic relief and are game for whatever is going on. Many won't remember that the Maltese is a terrier and was shown in the Terrier Group for many years. These two bring to their terrier name most of their personalities and are a great addition to the kennel - perhaps Bethany might stay away a little longer! Apollo is completely in charge of the number 3 exercise yard and takes his job seriously. No laying around relaxing for him - he chases the birds flying overhead, watches the fruit market across the road for untoward activity and is ever on guard for interlopers on the adjoining property. His cat Shooz is simply a Regalridge fixture now and is completely at ease in the house.
Lee was at another meeting in the afternoon - this time working with a great group of dog women (soon to be joined by our HKC organizer-extraordinaire) to organize a responsible dog ownership day for Halifax Regional Municipality. It is shaping up to be a fun day for people and dogs in Shubie Park on September 20 and will include CGN testing, games, a picnic and bar b que and lots more.
Ken was in the garden all day and has requested that next year all seed catalogues go directly to the recycling bin without passing the kitchen table. He added another trip to the fruit stand for yet more supplies and some great herbs for the deck planters. Those will be well used during the summer.
The Regalridge dogs helped Kelsey all day and taught her the importance of developing a good
ball throwing arm. The puppies were taken out for their first lead training in front of the chestnut tree and the entire older crew lined up along the fence to cheer them on. The little ones did amazingly well and now have taken their next step toward the show ring. Shawn arrived in the afternoon to trim Bella and he and Chantelle spent a few hours in the grooming room with Clem and Jessie Rachel.
Dawn kept us posted on the Oromocto Kennel Club goings on and did well winning a Group and placing as well. Logan continues to do well and shows like a pro at his young age.
