It's extremely rare that I don't have any new or photos from a Whiskers N Paws Puppy Afternoon to share on a Monday, as it only happens if Christmas Day or Chinese New Year falls on a Sunday and the event doesn't take place. I was all set to take puppies over today as usual, but like everyone else in Hong Kong was taken by surprise when news of an approaching typhoon was announced early in the morning, with the Signal 8 going up very quickly. We all know that in the end nothing happened and there was barely a breeze let alone any strong gusts, but by the time all signals were taken down it was too late for the puppies.

However, thanks to the fact that the weather really wasn't bad at all, the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre was crazily busy and quite a few dogs had been adopted or taken for foster or trial adoptions by the end of the day. The lucky adopted dogs were pom May, pug Tucker and spitz-cross Sizzle from their foster homes, while schnauzer Bowie went to see how he and the resident dog can get on.

| These pups came back from one foster and went straight out again |
Two of the sharpei-cross babies came back from one foster home but weren't with us for too long before being taken by another, and with a view to adoption if there aren't any allergy problems.

Over at Tai Po it was German shepherd Sadie's time to leave, and I don't know why it took so long for her to find a home other than we were waiting for a suitable environment for a young and large dog.

So while it was a really disappointing day in terms of the puppies that couldn't go to Whiskers N Paws, overall it was quite a success. However, I am still looking for a foster home for my two little pups, Minty and Waldo, and if anyone can take in these friends for a while please let me know.
