The weather is unchanged. Not unusual for us, there is humidity. It is August. But this long stretch fo humidity and heat is uncommon. The lack of rain is simply annoying. There is a forecast change for the week end. Time will tell. Piper has requested upstairs air conditioning. She has been advised that this too shall pass. Lee spent the day chasing her taillights back and forth to the city - three times. There was a three hour dentist appointment - altogether now - OHHHHH. This was followed by a trip to the Vet for Abigail and collection of Patti's pills. And then back for an evening meeting. The Toyota paid its dues. Our Ken held the fort, ably assisted by Alex. From unpublished reports, there was painting, KC was trimmed, there was mowing and everyone is exhausted. Entries for dog shows were organized and delivered. Chantelle has found a great house, 10 minutes from Regalridge and perfectly suited to her needs and her dogs. Life does seem to unfold as it should, given time. So there is a move in everyone's future.
The kennel is well and happy. Bella Sheltie is now in charge. Lily Lab pup is becoming more Sheltie-like by the moment. Scottie Shih-Tzu is holding down the Shih-Tzu summer position. KC Airedale is content to watch all of the activity and had a good spin with Sarah and Trebia. KC had his usual coat and offered it up happily to Our Ken's ministrations.
The house crew are well and content. The air conditioning is much enjoyed in their den. Patti doesn't move from the cool orthopedic bed and Our Ken has now positioned a fan to ensure she receives maximum benefit. The star continues to shine. Piper greeted each of Lee's appearances with solid whacks on the back of her legs. Unamused by her person's absences, it mattered not that there were three other people to cater to her whims. Lola tells stories of her puppies, her ability to care from them from a distance and her thoughts that have turned to her 'real life'. She is certain that Helen's business is going to go into receivership without her management and notes that Kenzie is not at all responsible. She is homeward bound soon. The puppies are thriving, moving easily into the den and soon will be introduced to the deck. The older two are growing quickly and are enjoying their summer. Virginia has finally come to terms with stairs - thanks largely to the education provided by Alex and Sarah.
Dinner was a quick meal of lamb chops, potatoes, tomato and blue cheese casserole and fresh new carrots. There appeared to have been blueberry-lemon cake for dessert. And on we go.
