February has improved its outlook. The weather today - sunny and warm - brought a hint of spring to the country the dogs loved it. There was melting and ground showing through the ice under foot. Ellie explained that spring follows winter - even though that little Jack Russell nose stayed firmly inside the kennel. She does love her kennel manager job. Charlie and Ruff had a great day, chasing, running, chasing and running with barking thrown in for effect. Max is as good as gold, watches the activity inside and outside with equanimity and perking up at meal and treat times. He enjoys his routine (as long as the grub is on time) and his wander around the kennel perimeter -- but mentions that exercise is over-rated and returns to his run after a brief foray. Sadie is Our Ken's favourite - deemed Miss Congeniality. He is smitten and so is Sadie. And then there is Bella. Day two brought a Bella who stayed closer to the door with ears a little further forward. But, the barking didn't change pitch and we were concerned. Lee sat with her for a half hour, barking back in encouragement. Max thought both were nuts. Keep in mind, Miss Bella has not missed a meal or a treat so her angst is focused. And then the metamorphosis occurred. After dinner, Ken went in to quiet. He opened her door, she allowed the lead to be put on, he walked her to the outside yard and - they played. She bounced, she wagged, she frolicked and did all that she had to do. Then it was lead back on and a bounce back in to her run. Bella is now firmly on vacation!
Paula and her puppy are separating. He is now out all day with us and is enjoying his new life in the den - laughing at The Big Bang Theory. Bedtime takes the two back to their room where Paula performs a thorough inspection. Lola and Billy are a couple and the breedings have gone well. And now it is Sarah with progesterone testing and a date with Logan in the near future.
Lee was finally well enough to cook and managed a haddock dinner with fresh asparagus, potatoes and a tomato blue cheese side. Life goes on.
