Planning has begun for the annual fall Southern pilgrimage. There will be puppies departing, Lee and Ken off to Southern climes and a good visit in Virginia. There will be a stop for the Terrier Specialty at Montgomery County Pennsylvania and visits with friends only seen once a year. So we plan. There are appointments to be made, hunting and gathering to happen, orders to be placed and meetings to be attended. There is paperwork to finalize and sorting to happen. Lee made it to the city to sort through paperwork and bring folks up to date on CKC changes. And, of course, all of this is done skirting the carpenters. Windows are being replaced - some easily and others with rebuilding that will constitute a new house in the end. The turkey has been ordered. Our Ken managed to keep busy and factored in a health board meeting. A visit to Truro is never a bad thing according to the alpha male.
The kennel is busy enough. Lucy is in residence and manages her yard in splendid isolation. Riley is enjoying his vacation and has had lots of exercise. Ceilidh the Wheaten arrived and has settled in easily. And the rest are in season so not amused by their exile to the kennel. Piper is plotting and Lori is abetting. Trebia says that Barrett can visit any time.
The house crew are not impressed with the return of the carpenters. The blocking of the big yard during these last great days of weather is simply not on according to Charlotte the outdoor dog. The older puppies shrug. They enjoy their pen through the day, up close to the carpenters as they climb ladders and go in and out of the house. Both will have their apprentice papers by the end of this project. The baby puppies are doing very well. They are growing, learning lots of new skills on a daily basis and are bright eyed early morning, tired and happy mid-evening.
Dinner was Lee's spaghetti - Our Ken was happy. Home made grapenut ice cream and squares finished off a fall meal. And we look forward to tomorrow.
