The kitchen has welcomed all of us back and we are together after a very busy week end. The 
flight from Toronto brought Lee back (making up the end of the movie that was missed on landing!) Ken was at the airport and not asleep in the chair 'watching' CNN so we have managed a step forward. He had managed the kennel most of the week end so was a tired puppy at midnight but not too tired to have the new fireplace insert 'burning' in the living room. Saturday brought Airedale puppies to have a 'show in the front yard' moment. Ken and Chantelle put the
folks through their paces and we'll bet the puppies had a good sleep that night. That led to Sunday when Chantelle's little car found its' way to Halifax Kennel Club's Wag Wiggle and Woof where she and Dawn ran the 'fun zone'. The stories are great - from Coltan bobbing for balls to the dogs dressed as a bride and groom. The fun zone was a rousing success with lots of dogs and owners enjoying the good weather and Fetch Inc's equipment.
Five dogs left on Sunday. The two Labs, Dora and Heidi, were star boarders who were able to figure out the routine in seconds and
nod their approval. Seven came and went as only Seven can. Roddi and Ruari are looking after the property and are playing well with Trebia. Kaleigh the Cocker and Kinky departed as well - quick visits with lots of waves and be-back-soons. The little Managers arrived and settled in quickly. Lucy and Baron remain in the mix - playing and sorting out everyone's activities. That will no longer be necessary now that the little managers are in residence. Penny is happily settled in the kennel and is running with her friend Dolly. She does love another Airedale. The two Dachshunds have 
graduated to the big yard and are tickled to have a new venue. Kirby insisted on his outside time even if the managers are in residence and weren't certain he needed a spin. Nemo, too, wanted his spin and his favourite companion is Chantelle who is nursing a sore knee and having some difficulty collecting him with the step that she has to navigate. He sorted that out last night by coming back when he was called.
The house dogs are glad to have
everyone under one roof. Piper was tickled to see Lee home as was little Abigail who needed to play her 'I'm gonna get you' game. The puppies are growing and the Airedale puppies are at least a foot taller after Lee's four days away. Paula is still attached to her babies and visits with them daily. She is pretty sure, however, that her real babies are still down the hall = these big ones are cute and all but hers are little and a whole lot better. She will not believe us that these are really the only puppies in the house and they are truly hers.
It is the week leading up to our leaving for Montgomery so lots of planning will be the order of each day. And we're off and running.
