Sat 27th May: One, Two, Three, and gone

A younger Bali with his winter coat

What an amazing weather day we had today, and I was happy to be able to fulfill a promise to my now half-paralysed dog Bali to take him to the beach for a swim.  I'd planned to do this on Wednesday but the Black Rain put an end to any outdoor activities, other than the daily walk which is never missed.  As it turned out Bali wasn't at all keen on the swimming part, but I think he enjoyed being wheeled up the path to the woods and back in a buggy.  I'm trying to make the most of what I know are the final months of his life, while at the same time seeing a rapid decline in Milo's condition too, and wondering who will outlast the other.  I face exactly the same dilemma as all other dog owners in wondering when is the right time to let go, and putting off the decision until another day for as long as I can.

Milo is weakening daily

Andrea was very busy at Ap Lei Chau handling the renovation fosters, with work due to start on Sunday.  We still have a lot of dogs that would very much appreciate being away from the smell and upheaval if anyone can take in a temporary small-sized guest for a week.  Please email Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com if you are able to help.  If there are any adults-only homes that could give one of the "Red" dogs a chance, it would be particularly appreciated. We all feel really sad seeing these dogs being passed over again and again, and all they need is someone to love and trust.

Maisy seems to be in good condition 

While quite a few little dogs were being picked up there was a new arrival, the mini pin (miniature pinscher) I mentioned yesterday.  I've called her Maisy but I don't have any information on her yet other than this photo.

One at Whiskers N Paws

At least one of our Homing Centre puppies will be waving a permanent goodbye on Sunday after having been chosen today with pick-up arranged for the morning.  One is the lucky girl, and that means I can finally close the file on the One, Two and Three litter and never again make the mistake of giving confusing names like that.

Babies One, Two and Three in January

Another puppy who won't be at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday afternoon is baby Theo, who was taken for fostering the previous weekend and wormed his way into the hearts of the family looking after him.  We still have four of this particular litter left, not to mention the many other hopefuls who'll be there.  Take another look at the album from last week here:
