Sun 16th July: What a nice surprise!

Enzo had no trouble hopping over the fencing

I honestly thought the whole day would be a complete washout with the sporadic downpours, so I left some of the older puppies behind when I set off for Whiskers N Paws.  I assumed we'd have to be indoors and I know how easy it is for the larger pups to jump the low fences, and Enzo proved me right several times as he headed off into the store looking for something interesting on the shelves. I love this puppy, and although he's big he's also a very easy boy and I'm just waiting for the day when someone will choose him.

Liverpool Football Club supporters will know why this puppy is called Anfield

Roma was another constant escapee, but for her it was because she had so much fun being chased, and darting this way and that trying to evade being caught.  Her happy and loving disposition won her a home where she has now been called Anfield, her adopter being an avid Liverpool Football team supporter.

Today's photographer faced a real challenge trying to get good shots with the pups being both inside and out, although it didn't rain at all for the three hours we were at Whiskers N Paws. In the end Elena Mathew did a fantastic job and you can see the whole set here

Callum and Inky will have so much fun

As well as being hugely and pleasantly surprised at the way the weather turned out, there were a few adoptions during the afternoon including a double one,  Callum and Inky.  I'm sure these two rascals will have a lot of fun together, and their new family will be kept entertained.

Dougal became Happy today

Foster puppy Dougal also officially became Happy with his adoption, and older pup Edward got his big chance when he was taken for a trial with ex-HKDR dog Deebee.  I was expecting Edward to spend at least a day hiding as he was quite nervous about having a harness fitted and going off on his own, but I heard later on that he was actually doing quite well and had settled himself on a nice big soft bed.  I'm so happy and excited for him, as moving from Lamma to a home can be quite daunting for an older puppy.

Potter found his new home today

Edward wasn't at all happy having a harness put on

There were three lucky dogs leaving our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre today, pom Potter and poodle Google, with black Magic being taken for a trial.  He's still new and quite scared so we're not sure how that will work out, but it was nice that he has a home to stay in rather than the overwhelming busy-ness of the centre.
