It sure is April in Nova Scotia. Each day seems to bring warmth and cold, sun and showers, wind and quiet moments. Charlotte is delighted with mud season and is looking forward to enough rain to soften up the best digging spots. The rest of us are equally delighted with the moments of sun and warmth. A turning point occurred when Our Ken offered up his favourite winter jacket for repatriation to the storage room via the washing machine. Lee is working through the winter clothes, sorting and sending away as much as is possible at the end of the season. There were conference calls and lots of enquiries so Einstein's supervision of the office was in high gear. Chantelle arrived to collect the rest of her followers and with JR under one arm and Lily tugging her forward, she was off to a handling class and perhaps some shopping. THE debate centered the evening with lots of sighs by Our Ken and many longing side way glances at the remote. There had been a threat that if it were touched during the debate, havoc could ensue. That worked but couldn't stop the sighs and mutterings that seemed to center on 'way too long', 'repeating themselves' and the classic 'Layton is from Japan?'. Keep in mind Layton has Steeves antecedents so the response any of us would give was given "Yes, and so am I". Our Ken is still perplexed and suspicious that his next meal will be sushi.
The kennel is settled and content. Stickley is running Ken nicely and Penny is keeping a close eye on the big fellow with the long legs. She thinks he might possible be an Airedale playmate. Stickley considers her a Welsh on steroids to be avoided at all costs. That leaves Sarah and Marguerite as playmates for Miss Penny. She enjoys the Airedale girls but thinks a Greyhound would be a great conquest. The triumvirate of Lucy, Savannah and Nemo ticks along. Lucy is steamed, Nemo is tickled and Savannah is oblivious to all of the fuss. You have to love geriatric Welsh. Dewi is watching closely, pretty sure he should be part of the party but not quite in step yet.
Meals were adequate. Hot cross buns supported breakfast. Fishcakes and a lovely salad of lettuce with celery, blueberries, toasted nuts and blue cheese accompanied them at lunch. Dinner was chicken breasts with a lemon sauce, potatoes and glazed parsnips. Our Ken was content until Japan came up . . .
