Another day of swinging gates contributed to the interest in the days activities for the Airedales and Welsh. Tom was here to sort and organize after the busy week end so Ken had some latitude. Other than a trip for hunting and gathering at dinnertime, he was to be found in gardens much of the day. There was the occasional sighting as he rode around on his tractor or did something (interesting we're sure) in the garage but gardens did call loudest and dirt was flying. Lee had her usual CKC business, lots of time with the puppies and a morning of upstairs organizing - that just seemed necessary, somehow. Kendra remains in hospital while doctors sort out what happened to send her heart into orbit and how to ensure that doesn't recur.
The kennel rocks along. Little Megan departed with a kick of her heels and a good greeting for Ann and Marlene. Barrett arrived (Trebia is thrilled) with two Shelties in tow. He was given the green hammock bed inside his double suite - and approves. His star has risen even further. Mikki is missing his friend Rozzie. He has his spins in the big yard followed by Ben. Ben is taking his potions and is doing great. We are impressed by his bright attitude and enjoyment of the attention he is getting. Ruff is managing everything in sight. Little Maggie is doing fine and keeping an eye on the Airedale girls in season. Piper, Dolly and Lori are singularly underwhelmed at being in the kennel and would like a lawyer called asap. Snap the newly arrived Sheltie has begun to demonstrate her talents. Chantelle went to her suite to make her acquaintance and Snap obliged by jumping straight in the air, wrapping those Sheltie monkey-paws around her arm and boosting herself into a surprised Chantelle's arms. Nice trick, Brenda! Sherlock is saving his talents for later. Both are doing fine, are enjoying their treats and are settled.
The house dogs had a good day with all of the components they look for. The gates were swinging with coming and going, the people were in residence and there was kitchen activity. Nick had a spin in the car, Marilla woke Ken with the stuffed chicken transfer from her mouth to his (that will teach him to snore!) and Patti and Clem are liking their potions. Clint came back to sleep in the house and announced his pleasure to all who would listen - repeatedly. Jack and Jessie are looking after their yard and Jessie is ballooning in size. Welsh puppies are not far away. The Airedale babies are growing, developing personalities and are delighted with life. Their baby games are addictive - not hard to sit and watch them all day long. Last night, they developed a tail grabbing game that brought the little one down on its' hind in short order, to the delight of the tail puller. The glints in the eyes are now noticeable. Weaning is not far off. Laurel will have mixed emotions about that.
Dinner was hodge podge and prime rib with peach Melba. Nice.
