Sat 26th Aug: Here we go again

The babies moved from Lamma to Ap Lei Chau today

I was in a panic about the baby pups after learning there was yet another typhoon on the way and remembering what happened on Wednesday when they all nearly drowned, not to mention the fact that they needed to be at Ap Lei Chau for Sunday's puppy afternoon (weather permitting).  At the time of writing the Typhoon Signal 8 is still up so we probably won't be at Whiskers N Paws, but the little youngsters are safely tucked away at the Homing Centre, 21 Main Street, so you can meet them there any time between 10am and 6pm.    Dusty and Cora were taken for fostering though, so they won't be there.

It's unfortunate and annoying that the older pups will miss out, although Troy and Wendy are in foster homes so can be seen at any time by arrangement, but Paris, Tickle, Alfie, Rufus and Jerry are stuck on Lamma.  They are all fine and happy, but they need homes and to be seen.

I spent yet another day clearing up and repairing, and I have to admit I really enjoy the physical hard work.  I haven't been able to get out to see what's still standing (again), but the fence that had been flattened and which I repaired on Friday is still there so that's a relief.  There isn't a leaf to be seen though, and so many trees are down that it feels like a film set from a disaster movie.


The clearing work at Tai Po also continued today, but no doubt there will be renewed devastation and debris after this current typhoon, so it will have to start all over again.  At least two dogs escaped the weather as Faye was adopted and David was taken for fostering.

When I got the message about David I couldn't believe it was the same very timid dog that had moved to Tai Po from Lamma several years ago, because at that time he was not a candidate for a home.

By Monday this should all be over and I hope we don't see another typhoon this year.  The dogs are more puppies are arriving from AFCD and I have others that are booked for desexing (Jerry and Rufus).  The good news is that my home treatment for Faith's screw worm infection worked and all the maggots are dead.  At least that's one less thing to worry about.

I was so happy to hear David was in a home
