Royal K9 Korner is Keeping Busy

Finding the time to sit at my computer to do any updates has been a challenge lately.  I've gone thru my pictures and realized there are so many that I've not shared.  The days are dashing by faster than I seem to be able to keep up with. Our regular visitors continue to keep us busy and give us smiles with their antics.

Lady May, Princess Mollydawg, Miss Suzy Q, Marchioness lil Molly and Miss Hazel wait so patiently for me to get my camera in focus. If they quit moving it would go faster, so its not my fault.

All The Royal Ladies wait patiently

River joined us while our daddy launched his boat one day. She is definitely a water girl.

She was kept on a tight lead because there were unknown dogs around running freely

River came for a ride to Seton Lake

We're working on developing acceptable levels of tolerance with our new visitors. Not all dogs immediately hit it off socially.
We are going super slow with Macy. We know she gets along fine with other dogs on her daily walks and at the dog park. However she has shown me, she is not ready to be trusted around our other pack members yet. Macy came for a trial sleep over and was a wonderful polite girl with our Royals. We've welcomed her back for a few weeks while her mom and dad head down to fight the fires in the USA
We have a few visitors scheduled to be here in the coming days and we will be practising safe distancing via multi gates during those days.
Take care Macy's mom and dad. Thank you for your service!
We promise to keep Macy safe until you return!!

Enjoying some quiet front porch time

3 year old Macy has hit it off really well with Lady May and Princess Mollydawg

The weather has been more than cooperative. We couldn’t have asked for better. We've done a few small reno's to the property to get ready for the winter months. We added a hard top to our gazebo, so there is no need to remove and replace the soft cover each Autumn and Spring.  The carport gate is often closed due to projects happening using tools that make the area unsafe for the dogs in wet weather. Summer is ending fast now. Often our visitors still want to stay outdoors and play but I don’t always want to stand in the rain that long. I sometimes limit their wet weather play time. Now we will have a dry shelter year-round. 

Yay me! Thank you, daddy!

We've had some health ups and down in the last little while. Our two aging Royal girls are struggling to stay healthy.  I plan to write a more detailed post soon. 
The Princess is now 15 1/2 yrs old. Her pancreatitis has taken a turn for the worse and we're learning to accept the fact that her time in this realm is limited.  We are sad to see her lovely aged face some days. Mostly she still greets our visitors with a wagging tail and a happy step, though they're a bit unbalanced now.
Our 11 yr old Lady May's daily pain meds are starting to affect her as well.  She had a sudden and extreme bout of vomiting and diarrhea a few weeks ago. Of course, it was on a Sunday when there were no emerg. vets on call close by. It warranted a rush trip into Kamloops in the wee hours of the morning.  She was in very serious condition by the time we get her in.
Thank you so much to Oriole Road Animal Hospital  doctors and staff. You were amazing!!   Thank you so much to the RK9Korner visitors who had to find alternate daycare while we were away on such short notice. You are amazingly understanding customers!! Our Lady May is in recovery mode now and is doing much better.  Too close for comfort!

We stayed again at our regular Scott's Motel. We were so lucky they had a room available!

After 3 days we were finally able to bring our darling back home with us. It was a very scary time!

So both our girls given us a good scare and a reminder of their ages and health issues.  We press on knowing for the time being they are enjoying their daily visitors. Having an extended pack means they are always looking for rest of their pack and even seem to search the gates and yards on days when there are no visitors.  The more visitors here the calmer they seem to be.
That's good cuz we're pretty booked up until Nov!
There should be lots of smiles and tag wags all round!
Today is vet appointments for both our Ladies. Paws crossed for pawsitive results.
