RK9K Closed July 21- August 1st

We’re just a day away from a relaxing holiday. Thank you so much to Suzy Q’s mom, my wonderful daughter, Kathi, for agreeing to look after our house and yard while we're away. Thank you to River’s mom, Fiona for agreeing to stop by periodically to help out with some watering when she can. Also to our wonderful neighbour, Sadie’s mom, Melissa, for helping out with the watering and agreeing to watch our yard from across the road for unusual activity. It means I will definitely relax not worrying about how things are back home.
You gals are AWESOME! Thank you.

 Lady May was scheduled for her annual checkup before we head out. We were anticipating a good health report. She’s been on the upswing after her last month's bout of GI issues. However we just found out our vet is ill and we've had to postpone till we get back. We have her meds and all her mobility devices and aids are packed in 'Cora'. We have researched vet services in the area and believe all is well and we can enjoy a trouble-free holiday together.
Get Well Dr. Burleigh we'll see you in Aug.

Lady May - "I'm fine mommy. Just make sure you bring enough cookies for me okay?"

The last past 3 weeks have dragged by. I’ve been fortunate to have some furry visitors to help me pass the time. Even if they are just lounging around. They provide me with smiles and chuckles as I while away the days. We enjoyed the company of our Countess River, little Sagey poo, Miss Sadie, Miss Khione, Sir Henry, and Sir Cash. 

5 year old River is one of our longest frequent visitors.
The bond between her and Lady May is often seen when they are alone together.

I love seeing the positions dogs lay in when fun time has ended and resting time begins.

Miss Khione decides a higher up position is of far greater value.

Miss Khione - "What? The grass is too wet down there."

There's always a dryer, cooler and softer place to sleep in the Gazebo area dear Khione. 

The gentleman have decided to join Lady May by the cool fan.

They had their fill of the sun and shade and sought more comfort.

Waiting to go for a drive boys?

We were able to find a day for a M&G with Suzy Q.’s new big brother, Walter. I'll sit down and write up his M&G post soon. I'm just a tad busy at the moment.  It happened to be on a day he could meet up with Sir Cash. They’ll be spending some days together when we return in Aug. Yay, new best buds!

Suzy Q - "Hey you guys wait for me!"

Cash and Walter met on either sides of the fence. It only took a few short minutes before they were calm and ready for a true gentleman greeting. These two distinguished fellows will be together with us mid August. We're certainly looking forward to it. Welcome to The Royals, Walter.

Enough wandering around. Time to enjoy the shade.

Thank you for keeping me occupied buddies. You’ve all allowed me to keep busy and get some outdoor chores completed. Now to load up Cora with the last-minute items and we’ll be off!
See you in August!
