It was a day for Our Ken to bond with his Health Board pals in Truro. From Strategic Planning he moved to Finance Committee so was gone much of the day. That left Lee alone to manage Regalridge. The Airedales translate that to PARTEE! There was toy throwing, games of chase, grab and pull Lee around the yard (an Atlas favourite) and hit her with all four feet to see how loud she can squeal. At that stage, Patti puts an end to it. The puppies are thriving and well settled in Lee's office. They love Diana Krall and Rod Stewart. Lee is giving some thought to adding Christmas music (she does that to torture Ken at odd times of the year). It's good to be a little off balance. The weather continues. Enough said.
The kennel is gearing up for a long week end. Buzz is Buzz and progresses slowly. Lucy the Lab has arrived. She is a friend to everyone, loves all of the dogs and they are totally enamoured of her. Rozzie the Agility Toller is also in residence. There is a rumour that Rozzie may be the Toller who was being convinced by her owner that the floor was a table at a recent Agility trial. If that is really the case, Lee will have a little chat with Rozzie. That is downright embarrassing and a dog like Buzz will call her on that.
The house crew are happy. Jack is on the mend. He had an episode late last week but has rebounded and is pretty well back to his Jack-ness. Old Welsh are still tough customers and with Our Ken's ministrations live long lives. Marguerite is learning to leave the puppies. She wants to count them but with those sharp little teeth now working, she really doesn't want to be a lot closer to her charges. Conversely, they are delighted to see her and cheer her on if she agrees to allow them to nurse (she stands and they are on tip toes but it seems to work.
Dinner was tenderloin grilled by Our Ken, potatoes, portabellos, sweet onions and asparagus. Chantelle joined us but missed the late night butterscotch pudding - sorry about that. And we look to tomorrow.
