It was a glorious day. There was sunshine, hot weather and happy people. Our Ken had meetings with this little health board friends so was stuck inside. Lee managed Regalridge, found a cache of new toys for the dogs and all was well. There was a meeting in the city at day's end for Lee but a full day spent in the company of dogs on a perfect summer day presaged that.
The kennel is well. Buzz has settled to the point that he is quite contained as we work in and around his run. There is absolutely no aggression with people - just boisterous behaviours that need education. Lucy the Lab is well and delighted to be with her friends at the kennel. Lucy is much loved by the other dogs and may well be having an impact on Buzz. Ruff is in residence for a week and enjoying the double run. He is another great fellow and wears his advancing Golden years well. Rozzie is bright and happy, enjoying her freedom in the kennel and her meals. She is a NSD Tolling Retriever and is on top of everything - the kennel manager position has yet again been filled. Moses would not be amused.
The house dogs are happy. The weather is improved, there were toy games and a day to relax without the need to constantly supervise Our Ken. Jack is back to being Jack. One of the new toys was added to his deck. It was spied immediately, collected and carried. Lee was bringing in clothes so offered a toss of the toy. Off the old fellow went, at an impressive trot, picked up the toy and returned it to Lee for another throw. This went on for many tosses and a thoroughly delighted Jack. Considering that last week we felt we were saying good by to the old fellow, this is a heartening change. He is eating well again and will not be a challenge for Chantelle on our departure. The puppies are doing tremendously well and are enjoying their next phase of life. Marguerite has an occasional visit but is content to view them behind bars - of their playpen. They are growing daily and will soon be ready to be introduced to Jack's deck off of the kitchen.
Dinner didn't happen. Both Ken and Lee were at meetings. Ken did find the end of the cherry pie late in the evening it appears. And we are on to another day.
