| Sparky weighs 10kg exactly |
Other than the puppies that I knew were waiting to be taken from AFCD Pokfulam, there was a surprise in the shape of a small-sized black-and-white mixed breed, now called Sparky. He was scared of course, a natural reaction for any dog finding itself in a strange place and with the smell of other unknown dogs (and death) around, but once we were in the van and on our way to Acorn he was happy to stand on my legs and look out of the window. He's a healthy seven year-old who looks much younger than that, and also very active and eager to walk. He checked out fine at the vet and even his teeth are clean, so all he needs is desexing.

| 7 tiny babies need foster homes |
I ended up taking just four puppies from AFCD Pokfulam, leaving a few older ones behind for later, the reason being that we have to shift some of our current residents out before adding more. We had just picked up seven (not six) very young babies from AFCD Sheung Shui, probably only three weeks old not even a month, so they need to go to foster homes as soon as possible.

I also had a now four-month old litter of five in the van going for yet another blood test to see if the "liquid gold" was finally going to sort their tick fever out, and yes, thankfully they are all doing well. Beano, Sailor, Tinker and Taylor have been living on Lamma, with Penny being the lucky one chosen to stay at Whiskers N Paws, and it really shows in her behaviour. She so much more relaxed and confident, and while Beano and Sailor are regulars at the Sunday puppy afternoons, Tinker and Taylor are still very timid. I think I'll start taking them along every weekend just to get them more used to being handled.
