Tues 20th Sept: Counting the days until Gala night

There are 4 new babies for Sunday
Having homed all of our young puppies last Sunday I knew it would only be a matter of days before there were new applicants for the vacancies, and sure enough new babies arrived from AFCD in Sheung Shui today with potentially others on the way too.  The beautiful boy pup I took from AFCD in Pokfulam yesterday has already gone to a lovely foster home with a volunteer, so that's him sorted for the time being. There was another older doglet with the group from Sheung Shui, and although I had been hoping we could place him in a foster home too, he ended up having to go to Tai Po in the end.

Preparations for the "Game of Bones" Gala Dinner event on Saturday 1st October are now in the tweaking stages, and ticket sales are now closed due to heavy demand and a sell-out very early on. Of course we're very happy about that and now it's just the event itself to look forward to.  I've been trying to decide what to wear (which character to go as) and have gone full circle before ending up with my first idea, and I know others have been having fun choosing their costumes too even though they may never have seen the HBO television show.    Although dressing up isn't obligatory and not all guests do, it's part of the fun of the event and makes for great photos too.


As with all of our events, everything is made possible because of the generosity of sponsors and volunteers.  Please take a look at those who have contributed to making "Game of Bones" a possibility, especially our Gold Sponsors Whiskers N Paws and the Aqua Restaurant Group, both of whom have been HKDR supporters for many years.
