Life is back to normal. Lee is home. More progress has occurred on the estate requirements and a good visit was had. And although all is well in Woodstock, there is still snow on the ground. Commerce seems to be strong in Atlantic Canada. The truck load on the highways is greater than the number of cars in many areas. With the strong Canadian dollar, it was an amazing thing to get US funds from the bank machine (such civilization in NB) and have the machine note that the cost was less than the face value of the amount disbursed. Not great for our balance of payments but some fun if you are shopping for King Arthur flour and Girardelli chocolate. Our Ken held the fort, managed the dogs and started his spring gardening with a clean up of flower beds. His major grumble was the high winds that limited outdoor time and gales that were so strong he moved vehicles in the yard.
The kennel is doing well. Poe is here for a vacation and is enjoying his big yard. Abbie and Sherlock are packing their bags with a view to imminent departure. Sherlock will have to reorient himself after his management role at Camp Regalridge. He has enjoyed having staff at his beck and call - good luck to his owners. Carter has arrived for an initial visit and settled in immediately. A well adjusted fellow, he will have no trouble with kennel life. While Lee was gone, Barrett departed with a Woo Woooo to Trebia. Show season is coming so the two will be reunited in due course.
The house dogs are fine and dandy. Piper was delighted to see Lee but not as delighted as Marilla who would not leave Lee's side. She had so many stories to tell that she had to wake Lee several times through the night just to add a point or two (there was some discussion with Miss Marilla about Lee's need for the long toy with the tennis ball inside that repeatedly appeared throughout the early morning hours - thanks Chantelle!).
Meals were grim according to Our Ken, even though Lee had made food in advance. Things will improve. Poor Ken.
