All is well at Regalridge. There are the usual hiccups - generally a result of our own less than excellent stewardship. Madam Marguerite is a sly one and has a long reach. Marilla misses no error on the part of the humans and Rocky simply assumes that something out of place is meant to be his. The high point of Clint's day was a visit from a young boy. These Airedales love children, and none better than a young fellow with a good throwing arm and two tennis balls in play. There were games of fetch, tag and simply bonding. It is always interesting to watch the interaction of the Airedales as they meet children - there are no bad kids in the Airedale lexicon. It was Father's Day so the phone was busy. Chantelle dropped off a plantable bush - and Our Ken's eyes lit up. Liz and Phil, Laurie and Alex joined the Regalridge contingent for dinner in Elmsdale. Our Ken approved. Still, he held off for dessert chez Regalridge. Sarah's folks stopped by to meet the puppies on the way to dinner in the city.
The kennel is well and happy. Clint was entertained by the young visitor. Gabe encouraged Clint on to greater feats on his return to their communal exercise yard. Scooter enjoyed the great weather as did Sarah and Trebia. Little Bella waved good by and turned over the reins to Gabe- heaven help us all. With the great weather, construction projects were in the planning stages. Our Ken managed to squeeze in a trip to Rona (any excuse) and there is even more building material on the property.
The house crew are well and happy. Patti is enjoying her ball games and her time with Sarah. Everyone needs a shadow, is Patti's motto. Marguerite did not approve all of the comings and goings and spent a considerable amount of time counting her babies to ensure none had been lost. Lee fed - and fed and fed - puppies. All approved the support, casting aspersions at their Mom who they feel is underperforming. There is not enough food in the world to stoke Marguerite at this stage. Weaning will officially commence. The pen is now a permanent fixture in the den until the departure date of the 'family'.
Dinner was at Bitar's - all is well.
