Canada is in the midst of a federal election campaign. This morning the news includes an overview of the Prime Minister's election rally in Ontario where he was met by protesters in chicken suits. We Canadians are indeed deep thinkers. And as the election stumping moves into high gear, the weather slowly improves. Days are long now and the tulips are up but not yet blooming. Without rain, the yard is drying quickly. Life is better. Allan Thoren arrived for a visit - he looks great and brought good tales of Annie and Higgins.
The kennel is doing well. Little Sherlock and Abbie waved good bye as Miss Penny arrived for her spring vacation. She was delighted to move into Airedale heaven and enjoys every minute of her opportunity to commune with her relatives. Savannah is enjoying life at the spa - she has the Airedales whipped into shape, expresses herself to all who will listen (and many who won't) and gives Dolly 'what for' at every opportunity. Poe is happy and settled in to his home away from home. Carter on his first visit is amazed at the activity level and enjoying every minute. All are enjoying the big exercise yards and the opportunity to watch the activity at the fruit stand across the road.
The house dogs are doing reasonably well. Patti is thriving. She has met and adores Felicia - our new member of the team at Regalridge. That has given her an impetus to show off her "I am in charge" ways. Nick has had a bit of a downturn and has an appointment for a visit in the city tomorrow. Marilla is delighted to have Lee home and tortures the life out of her at every opportunity. This morning it was taking the snake toy (thanks Chantelle) and carrying it downstairs with Lee, banging the end with the tennis ball on every step and swinging it ever so slowly, waiting as Lee waited to let her get ahead so that the potential to trip Lee was maintained.
Dinner was grilled steak with potatoes and sweet onions and squash from last fall's garden offerings. That went well and life goes on at Regalridge . . .
