All is well at Regalridge. The weather continues to be miserable - showers and cold days. Still, we are well, the dogs are well and life goes on. It was a day for Lee to go hunting and gathering. There was banking to be done in the city, shopping that is beyond Our Ken and errands that required much organization. All was accomplished and Betsy came home laden. Fruit is abundant at Costco as are women with empty carts and wanderlust. Several are fortunate to be ambulatory today. Our Ken managed to keep a lid on Regalridge, sorted his garage and rustled dogs. Early in the day pictures were taken of the puppies and emailed to those folks who had asked to see them. Marguerite's litter is an outstanding one and these puppies are fabulous. It really comes home just how high the quality is when the images are downloaded and able to be assessed.
The kennel is well and settled. Pippa and Dylan are looking after the Welsh contingent and are proud of their success rate. None lost so far. Little Maggie is looking after the whole shootin match and considers it a major accomplishment - now what she has accomplished is uncertain but her pride in it knows no bounds. Sarah did not have her spin so she and Ken are on better terms and Molly Pug is tickled with the partee. She doesn't know where to look first and has no desire to take on any managerial responsibilities, preferring to be a camp follower. Buzz is Buzz. Ursey is in residence and managing as our resident German Shepherd Dog manages. She is a worrier but has learned the kennel routine and knows that her owners will be back for her. This is such a tremendously loyal breed and separation from owners is always a concern. Cody the Golden is a great fellow. This is his first visit and he has settled in happily. He and Molly will have a spin together as soon as there is sun. Barrett is in residence and courting his beloved Trebia. In spite of the weather, the two had races - and bonding moments - and races.
The house dogs slept. Charlotte has appropriated a favourite bed and won't get up. Lee's shopping included new dog toys and several came home. That will perk Our Charlotte up. There is nothing better than swinging a new toy and torturing Marilla to make Charlotte kick up her Airedale heels. A lovely new waterproof bed came home. Marguerite didn't like it. Friday is garbage day. Patti is worried about having lost Felicia who is off ill. She is eating sporadically (Patti - not Felicia). Jack got a new ball. He smiled.
After the grueling city tour, dinner was managed without heads landing on plates. There was spaghetti with roasted garlic bread from the oven. That was followed by lemon cake. And tomorrow is another day.
