Tues 21st Feb: Settling in and supervision

Puppies just love to play
I'm not sure if Hong Kong skipped winter completely but the weather seems to be typical of spring right now, and all I can think about is please don't let it rain on Sunday.  At least with all but the newest litter of four puppies in foster homes or staying at our Homing Centres they can stay dry, but it's definitely a challenge holding the puppy afternoons indoors at Whiskers N Paws.  We can do it if necessary but the youngsters do love running around on the terrace, and we all love watching them having fun too. 

Davey will be picked up from his foster home before Sunday
There are a couple of puppies from last Sunday who won't be back, one being Davey and the other Honey.  Both are moving from their foster homes before then, so I hope all works out well for them. Baby Honey will have ex-Tai Po Marble to take care of her and it really helps to settle babies in, as long as the older dog is happy.  Some adults take to new puppies immediately while others start off being quite unhappy about the mini intruders, and in rare cases will even harm them.  Supervision is important, and that goes for any dog or puppy moving into a home where there are already other animals or human children too.

I was sent this update on Captain, adopted five years ago and a stunning boy.  He was one of a litter that came with mother Delta, and it seems he's got a little friend that he loves too.  Dogs and cats almost always get on as long as the introductions are made carefully and properly supervised.

It was a lucky day for poodle Taffy at Ap Lei Chau too, as he left with his adopters to start his new life.
Goodbye Taffy!
