Saturday was the lead up to Superbowl Sunday. That just means planning as far as I can tell. We were advised that in Virginia, this means Chili will be made on stoves throughout the state. In NB, my brother advises that he is having 'the boys' in to watch the game and that pizza will be made as the order of the day. That must be a family decision since Our Ken ordered Lee's thin crust pizza for the big game. He pondered a fondue - Lee moved him on. The game of search and seek was on early. Seems that jacket the goose slayer did in required replacement. So out came the alternatives. Approbation received. While that was going on, dogs were receiving their mid-winter updates. Dolly and Marilla look darned spiffy. And then there was the bad news, Miss Piper is in season and has been outcast to the kennel (Nick is so love sick that he can't possibly take a bite of food|). Piper was not unhappy with the kennel thought as an initial foray. There are milkbones in the kennel, don't you know. But when the door of the run closed behind her, she rethought that concept. Her dulcet tones have been heard by all and sundry. A grievous error has occurred. And Lee also reprogrammed the upstairs television that Our Ken had creatively used. Making the mistake of leaving the channel tuned to AMC, eyes lit up as the male among us discovered that it was all day westerns! And there endeth the lesson.
The kennel moved forward. Liard's family was home in front of the forecast storm to collect the miscreant. Mischka watched his departure, gave some thought to the fact that he had arrived first so that seemed a bit out of order but seeing the end of Liard was a gift in itself according to the old OES. Willie is eating and managing reasonably well for one of the ancients. He has eaten every meal, is enjoying his hamburger and hot dogs and, we think, has managed to put a little weight on. Max hasn't missed a meal and is settled well. He eats then naps in his bed, walks out with Ken to the outside run and has a good bit of exercise, uses the facilities and returns on the lead to his inside run for another nap. He is settled, seems to approve of his routine and is doing very well. Stop worrying Lisa.
The house dogs are well - except for Piper who is angry, angry, angry. Marguerite has offered to take Piper's place and is working hard on Lee. Ken demurs. Charlotte says that the bed thief can stay in the kennel forever as far as she is concerned. Patti is thriving. She has decided that the evening parade is part of her nightly routine and has moved happily to the bedroom for her sleeps. Given her age and health concerns, it is surprising to us - and just the way it should be according to Patti. Now Nick would like us to go out and find the love of his life Miss Piper . . .
Dinner was a favourite - pan fried haddock. It is such a great meal, particularly when followed by that molten chocolate pudding and Hagen Daz.
