Summer has arrived and this foolishness about it being mid-August has got to stop. There have been consecutive sunny, warm days. Everyone is smiling. The roofing project may actually be done before the Christmas turkey is ordered. The front roof is showing significant progress and there is thought that it will be complete with another day's effort. That leaves the east side and it is done. Our Ken has bonded with the Rona staff and there is applause as he enters the sliding doors. Nothing better than money to gain a vague semblance of love from what were strangers only a month ago. The fruit stand is resplendent with local vegetables so a daily visit is mandatory. Our Ken is a busy man. Dawn and Jimmy took an evening out of their busy schedule to share a meal and for Ken to have a look at trimming. Dawn and Ken discussing hair length is a moment that everyone enjoys. There has been an order for veal limeoni (remember, 'e' added because lime rather than lemon) and rest assured that it is on its way. The fuzzy growth will simply ward off infection, we're pretty sure, so enjoy in good health in your BC wetland.
The kennel is ticking along. The week end will be busy so a quiet mid-week is welcome. Buzz is Buzz, learning some degree of protocol but struggling to maintain that understanding. Lorena continues to be the star. Our Ken is enamoured of her and extols her virtues. Charlie is enjoying her vacation. She loves the big yards and Sarah's company. Burton is doing remarkably well. He struts along like a little trooper and is an amazing fellow given his advanced years.
The house dogs are thriving. There was kitchen activity so the Norwich are happy. Peaches were shared. Dolly determined that Jimmy might be a potential for food so sidled up to him during dinner and offered her significant charms. Marguerite's puppies moved to the west side of the house. They now have mastered the up and down requirements of three steps and are proud of the accomplishment. Their expanded world is awe inspiring and much running was necessary to make use of the large area. The baby puppies are up on their legs and now come toddling over when we call them. Personalities will follow now that eyes and ears are functioning well. Shawn and Kelly check in readily, noting that there will be a wide open door when Laurel is ready to go home. She is missed. Bella has shared that being an only dog is not all it's cracked up to be. Laurel, too, will be happy to be back to her usual routine. She has moved to Lee's kitchen and would much prefer to stay there except for the occasional foray in to count her puppies and offer up a quick feeding. Teeth are arriving in those little mouths and are sharp.
Dinner was a Ken favourite- prime rib with roasted potatoes. There were fresh green and yellow beans, new carrots and a peach pie. No one left the table hungry.
