Another day - another dog show. Or Two. Lee took the little foreign car and went to Lunenburg (accompanied by a Junior Handler and her mom). Our Ken stayed home and gardened. Dawn and Chantelle showed dogs in Boston. It was a fabulous day on the south Shore of Nova Scotia. Tony and Karen reported that it was clear and sunny as the sun came up - and they were up to greet it, apparently. Miss Avalon has her priorities, after all. Dawn and Chantelle appeared to enjoy (from the look of Tom's pictures, at least) a bright and sunny day in Boston. Our Ken - well, it was cloudy and cool in Belnan. That didn't stop the tractor or the planting but it sure would have been nice to see sun here as well. the chestnut tree is in full candle this week - a sight to behold. The bees are buzzing. The swallows are on the nest so babies are imminent. They are the hardest working little birds on the planet and bugs disappear in great numbers as they store up for the invasion of the fledglings. Tomatoes are planted as is winter squash and the herbs. Potatoes went in a while back. We hope for the best. The strawberries have bloomed and are now growing - we hope in time for a harvest before the departure for Europe. Our Ken will ponder the consequences of that not happening for the next few weeks.
The kennel is well. Buzz the rescue Airedale is trimmed up and learning the ropes. He has a lot of energy and a lot going on that he has to work through. Time cures all. Moses and Naomi are well and happy. They enjoy the big exercise yards and Moses enjoys being 'in charge'.
The house dogs are well. Clem is thriving and happy to have a good cook, her potion on a regular schedule and to remember her big yard. Now if Chantelle would just find her way home, her world would be complete. She snoozes with Patti - generally on the bed Patti would prefer - and exercises in the yard. an amazing old dog is Miss Clementine. Jessie has done well on her vacation as well. That is a bit of a surprise given her proclivities but she is settled and seems to be happy biding her time on this vacation. |The rooster - well, all he seems to be sharing is that "Chantelle is gong to pay for this". The rest are fine. Billy likes his new leather collar. Rocky appreciates his new-to-him blue plaid (formerly Billy's collar but don't tell Rocky). May is enjoying her soaked bones in the morning and all are enjoying their nightly throw the toy game. Billy is now the Airedale-in-trimming candidate and is shaping up nicely. Marilla enjoys barking at Marguerite who in turn gives as good as she gets. Marguerite is thriving, hasn't missed a meal and delights in her family of puppies.
Dinner was chicken with two kinds of roast potatoes, baked tomatoes with balsamic and parm and fruit salad. Our Ken approved. And a new week starts.
