The weather has turned. There were vestiges of the hurricane with strong breezes, just cooling the sunny afternoon nicely. The roofers didn't make it ( too much wind ) so it was quiet and pleasant. The roof held with the storm force winds and Our Ken had to think of a new worry, choosing and discarding several from his always long list. There was the usual organizing at the start of a week and lots of time on the telephone. And there was a trip to the grocery store for Our Ken then on to Rona - just to say 'hi' as far as anyone could ascertain.
The kennel was busy. Maureen visited to show Buzz's charm to a neighbour of the family who will be greeting him tomorrow. He was on his best behaviour. Yes, Buzz is departing. After three months of work and worry, he is at a stage to be homed and Maureen has found him an experienced rescue Airedale owner in Alberta. The next phase of his adventurous life will begin soon. Ruff departed with a wave and a bark. n. Brunswick departed in Brunswick fashion. Old Bailey is happy to keep us on track, make her thoughts and desires known and to play with Millie Wheaten in the big exercise yards. The two are now fast friends, chatting and snoozing together in the shade of the trees. Riley is enjoying his vacation, taking full advantage of the big yards and good weather.
The house dogs had the best day in ages. Good weather and the return of the yard. Life is good according to Piper. The last of Marguerite's male puppies left for his home in Moncton - he's a lucky little fellow, going to live with a man who works from home and who is looking forward to a great companion. There is little better than an Airedale to fill that bill. The baby puppies are now firmly ensconced in the den. They are eating well, playing in their pen and enjoying CNN and the Weather Channel with Our Ken. The games have begun and the personalities are forming nicely. Laurel was repatriated - Bella came with Shawn to pick her up. She hopped into the lovely red truck with a bound and a wag. The puppies are enjoying their meals of Pro Plan puppy food with goat's milk coulis. They now see Lee and stamp their little feet at mealtimes, anticipating the excellent repast.
Dinner was fried chicken with new potatoes and new carrots. It began with Valley corn, picked on this day and sweet as can be had. All else was wel and we look to tomorrow.
