Sun 21st May: Where did everyone go?

Teabag is now officially Bonnie
We nearly got blown away by the wind on the Whiskers N Paws terrace, but at least while it looked as though it was about to rain it stayed dry for the whole three hours.  As always the puppies had a great time playing but there were no adoptions, unless you count Teabag's paperwork being completed.  To say it's depressing would be an understatement, because until some puppies are moved into homes there is no space for any new ones.  A few babies were taken for fostering, for which I'm very happy and grateful, but as I mentioned yesterday there is a downside to fostering which is that at some point the puppies will come back.
Enzo was so desperate for love

What made the afternoon really sad for me was seeing puppy Enzo so desperately looking for someone to love him, and eventually finding a lap to settle down on.  Having been raised in a wonderful foster home from the age of two weeks until his short-lived adoption, he has only ever known a family life and is so unhappy now that he has to live with other puppies outside.  I can't explain what went wrong in his supposed-to-be-forever home, but I'm glad he came back if it wasn't the right one.

Many thanks for the double Two Presents donation
Without any new adoptions to write about there was at least a lovely double Two Presents donation from a brother and sister team, and my apologies for not having noted the names.

Although as at Whiskers N Paws we were expecting potential adopters at our main Homing Centre at Tai Po, no one actually turned up and it was only tiny April at Ap Lei Chau that was adopted in the end.

Little pom April was today's lucky girl
