Another great day in the neighbourhood. There was sun, gentle breezes and, you guessed it, roofers. Each day Our Ken offers that this should be the last and at the end of the day, as Lee looks hopefully at the departing trucks, the word is 'they will be back tomorrow'. The painting stage has arrived, though, with only occasional tap, tap, tapping. Elsewhere, it was a day of phone calls and paperwork, a quick trip through the village to visit the post office and bank and then home again for CKC chores. Our Ken gardened, sorted through the property and surveyed on the tractor. There was an early morning visit for coffee and the recounting of a tale of woe that included waffles and mustard sauce (thought to be raspberry so generously applied). Have we mentioned Chantelle's cooking abilities previously - this would be quite typical.
The kennel is readying for back to school week. Mr Riley departed at the same time that Old Bailey gathered her things and packed her bags. Miss Millie watched with surprise as her buddies waved their good byes. She will be introduced to Trebia for a couple of days of running and chasing. Lori also found her way to the kennel so Sarah will have a friend in residence for September.
The house dogs are continuing picket duty with volunteers lining up to carry the sign. The chant has become clearly Woooo Woooo Roooofers must Goooooo. Airedales can be quite vocal when it is necessary. Perfect weather and the lack of a favourite yard do not make them happy. The Marguerite daughter is now part of the big Airedale run in the early mornings and is delighted with her elevated status. Lily shepherds her around the property and is considered her hero. Marguerite watches closely. The baby puppies are happy as can be in the den, play baby puppy games and enjoy their meals, requesting the addition of a noon repast just to keep them on track. They are a collegial crew, typical of Airedales.
Meals suited Our Ken. Dinner was a particular favourite of his with sausage made by the market across the road, yogourt based pancakes, fried green/yellow heirloom tomatoes and ice cream. May agreed that this was a dinner fit for a queen.
