I don't think it's particularly related to Chinese New Year but we have been taking in surrendered small dogs on an almost daily basis recently, most of whom are poodles of course, including today's puppy. She already has a potential home as we have a waiting list for such puppies, so I took her to Acorn today for a check-up and vaccinations in preparation for her adoption at the weekend.

| Coming on Sunday |
On Sunday we're expecting a very cute poodle cross, just three years old, who has to find a new home because she and the other female in the home hate each other. When two females don't get along there's really nothing you can do as it becomes a lifelong hatred, and that's why we recommend a male-female pairing if there are going to be two dogs living together. Males can fight and make up, but females fight for ever once it's started.

| Lara and Nancy became instant best friends |
That doesn't mean that two females can't be best friends as we have seen from our adopted-and-abandoned pair Lara and Nancy. These two girls love each other and will always be like that, and I see the same in many Lamma friendships. The females tend to stick together and form single-sex groups, while the males hang out with anyone who wants to play.

| Noddy found his new family today |
As expected the recently surrendered Yorkie left the Homing Centre today with his new family, and there was a lot of interest in him from others too. If you're looking for a particular kind of dog please complete the online questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt) but do bear in mind that small-sized puppies of any kind don't become available that often.
We have a busy weekend lined up, which started today with our stall at Lee Tung Avenue and we'll be back again on Sunday.

| The Chinese New Year festivities are still going strong at Lee Tung Avenue |
This Saturday we'll be at Heal, 10 Second Street, Sai Ying Pun, with a selection of puppies waiting for adoption, and this will become a regular venue in the future. For this first event we'll have full use of the inside of Heal, as the hydrotherapy pool hasn't yet been installed, so bring on the rain - we don't care!

| Heal at 10 Second Street is right next to Polygon Cafe |
Of course we'll be at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, 2pm to 5pm, with the full contingent of puppies, all of whom will have grown quite a lot since we last met up there. I know the "meat puppies" on Lamma have changed a lot, and they're a fit, fat and and happy bunch now.
