Showers were forecast and delivered. It was a cool day with lots of activity. Trapper Ken carried yet another banded interloper to the wilds of Hants county and set him free. The project continues. Both Lee and Ken had appointments and meetings so it was a two vehicle proposition. Lee went to the city, had her adventures and managed a return on time and on budget to Regalridge. Our Ken travelled to Truro, suit and tie attired, for a photo op and a meeting. His return was later but less eventful. Lee generally finds city center entertaining. On this occasion, it was an underground parking garage. City folk appear to get wound up over little things. Having been pointed down a ramp by the attendant, her vehicle came to a stop at a downturn. Within seconds, a young woman had advised Lee that there was a problem and it would be a minute before forward momentum could be achieved. Lee settled to observe. A man then appeared and stopped to report that he was seeking assistance and it would be a short wait. This was followed by the aforementioned attendant reappearing, stopping to report that there seemed to be an issue to be resolved but that it wouldn't be long. As He disappeared around the corner, a second woman appeared to advise that there was a "serious issue - the driver of the truck had been terribly rude to her daughter and that was not to be tolerated so their car was not moving". That's more excitement than is seen in Belnan in a twelve month period. Lee, apparently seen to be the interested fifth party, was highly appreciative of being kept abreast of the developments as they occurred . . . Medication must be available for this sort of thing.
The kennel is ticking along and all inhabitants are well and happy. Showers were less frequent here than along the coast so dogs had more freedom to be outside than their city counterparts. Coby approved.
The house crew were content to check out the beds in the den and assist Lee on her return to the country. There were dinner preparations to be made and Piper, Abigail and Lori were of great help. Patti had a good snooze and managed a decent meal at dinnertime. Jack is on high alert now that Trapper Ken is in action. The critters are maintained just below Jack's deck - a call to arms to any self-respecting Welsh. The nursery is filled with puppy sounds and Marguerite is delighted with her family. All are doing well, are gaining wieght steadily and enjoying the bottle feeding supplementation. Generally there is at least one pup who declines the offer of food other than Mom's. Not so with this bunch. All eagerly take the bottles that are offered - and all eagerly move to join Marguerite each time she appears within their range. Another few days and they will be ready to move downstairs.
Meals were quick early in the day but better thought out by dinner. On offer was an international menu featuring garlic. There was guacamole on offer with lovely french bread (avocados were perfectly ripe at Pete's). With her secret ingredient, Our Ken enjoys this appetizer. This was followed by an exceptionally good Cesar salad (lovely romaine at Pete's and shaved parm from an aged block kept in the back of the fridge for just such a salad). Then there was garlic bread (again the lovely french loaf form Jonathon's was featured prominently) and fresh spaghetti with Lee's sauce. Life is not all that bad.
