Super Kane Day

Today was a Super Kane Day and he enjoyed all the attention, with a day centred around him.

This morning, we walked to the shops and chatted with the neighbours who finally moved in today. They have two Dobermanns called Brandy and Scotch, but we will let them settle in first before they meet Kane.

At the shops, another little dog was tied to the other side of Kane's seat, but Kane ignored the little dog. After I came out of the shops, we walked around the outside as there are always lots of news to smell.

A few hours later, in the early afternoon, CQ came to visit. After a beer, we walked together to the markets. Our visit to the pet store was only very brief and we didn't see Splat the cat. The staff were very friendly again and gave Kane some treats. They even remembered his name, and this was his third visit.

At the markets, Kane was tied to a different spot, while CQ and I went to order some food.

We then sat on a seat in the piazza area to eat it. We met a scruffy looking dog with some wolfhound in him (or her). It was only a brief hello and tail wagging before Kane lost interest. We also met a Weimaraner who wasn't very friendly and bared her teeth.

After the markets we went to the giant hardware store across the road from the markets (I needed a storage container to hold Kane's dried bones - not the one in the photo, but a smaller one inside that).

On the way home we met up with Tessie the Border Collie who was in her front yard. Kane wanted to invite himself into her house! Tessie managed to accost CQ into playing stick fetching with her. We mentioned the play-date appointment with Jake at the oval at 3.45pm, so Tessie might join in.

After a short rest, we went to Jake's house to collect him on the way to the oval, but Sue was baking a cake and would show up soon. As we walked over, Kane was tired from our earlier adventures so we turned around and called on Jake's house to say we weren't going anymore.

It has been an exciting canine day.
