Another busy day at Regalridge and all is well. Lee had a day in the city with her usual share of adventures. Landing in the heart of the city at a relatively early hour, she exited a parking garage only to be met by one of Halifax's finest advising her that she could not proceed. Now, that was a bit of a conundrum. The parking attendant had opened the door for her to exit and the door did not open if you were not a vehicle to trip it's eye. It was now firmly closed. Lee briefly considered this interesting situation and advised the officer that she actually was proceeding. He had a gun but Lee had an appointment, a fairly even stand off was in play. With a strong comment that she was not a journalist and that the scene in front of the two of them seemed to have been controlled if not resolved, Lee stepped around the man, reckoned that he was less than likely to shoot her and continued on. He grumbled, Lee shook her head. Life in the country prepares you for a lot. Life with Our Ken prepares you for more. Then it was on to appointments, shopping for the upcoming trips and a bit of hunting and gathering. Our Ken held the fort at Regalridge. There was a visit to the puppies, there was gardening and the dogs were wrangled.
The kennel ticks along. Lucy and Ruff are great pals. Lucy runs and chases Ruff who delights in the companionship of another dog. The two Retrievers have bonded strongly and quickly. Buzz is slowly learning that waiting to do what it is that he wants to do is a benefit to all. Rozzie loves the big yards. She runs, barks and twirls, enjoying her time in the country. Dolly is moving from the kennel to the house. It will be bath time tomorrow if all goes well. Repatriation can't come too soon according to Dolly.
The house crew is managing well Weather in Belnan was slightly better than that in Halifax. Halifax offered up fog, drizzle and cold. Belnan went from fog to clearing, from cold to warm and even offered up a little sun. There was the potential for thunder showers that did not materialize. Marguerite is being weaned away from the puppies. This was a challenging day for her. She started with a couple just for a quick 'hi how are you' moment and noted her disapproval of these big puppies that could not possibly be hers - hers are little and much cuter according to Marguerite. Piper gave Lee the business on her return from the city - the shoe store had a dog-in-residence so Piper noted that Lee had been consorting with the enemy. Marguerite didn't care. Keep in mind that Our Ken had a day with Marguerite. She tortures him unmercifully and today decided that his coffee cup was fair game. He left it on the kitchen table only to return to Miss Marguerite with her feet on the table and nose in the cup. To put a point on her escapade, she repeated the performance later in the day. Marguerite 2 Our Ken 0.
Dinner was Costco's chicken pot pie. It was followed by cake with Regalridge strawberries and cream. And we set our sights on tomorrow
