Even though the Pictou show is this week end, Our Ken the brave warrior made the appointment to remove snow tires. Now you know the forecast. That, of course, offered a trip to Truro, some hunting and gathering at his favourite spots and all things that make Ken smile. Lee was left to man fortress Regalridge. Folks arrived a bit early to drop off their dog for boarding. Lee had sorted the kennel and went down the drive to let Rosie and family in. First issue became the inner gate. That engineering marvel appeared to have had a breakdown and required that anyone inside the gate stand on one foot, lean over to reach the second little marvel of engineering science and have a 50/50 chance of landing on her head. Success was Lee's and the gate key retrieved, only to find that try as she would, it would not open the gate. Thinking less than loving thoughts directed at her good husbandd, the 'aha' moment came and moving again through the inner gate, this time with considerably less fanfare, she tried the small gate key in the big gate. Presto - someone had changed the key sequence without communicating with anyone. Nice. Of course, that means Lee has to get the big gate open. And that combination from inside is daunting at best. The man of the couple has been watching the entire process with some considerable concern and it is at this point that he enquired 'do you live here'? That did not help.
The kennel is doing well and is filling quickly. Added to the mix were a little Wheaten, Rosie, and Ruff the Golden. Stickley has overcome his stomach upset and is back to his lovely Greyhound self. Lucy is keeping a close eye on him, but sighs a great deal as she thinks of the precious time she is missing with Nemo. Savannah is happily taking up those days of bonding with the old fellow and is now regaling Lucy with her stories each time Lucy trots over to see if she has gone home yet. Penny has been cavorting with Dolly but now has her eye on Ruff. He will enjoy her antics and she will enjoy having someone to boss around - Dolly is not such a good subject. Rosie has settled in well and is considering her options. She enjoyed her dinner and has heard from Stickley that the best time of the day is bedtime when the milkbones appear.
The house dogs looked after Lee in her confused state. Piper was solicitous and crawled into Lee's lap for a good visit. Marilla tried to pull her sweater off - Marilla's version of deep and caring concern. Patti simply looked for another meal - she is going through an eating frenzy. With decent if not sunny weather, the dogs were in and out regularly. And while not particularly wet, there was enough soft ground that Charlotte was able to dig a bit.
Dinner was hot chicken sandwiches with spicy roasted potatoes and onions. And we look forward to the last working day of the week.
