Weds 28th Nov: Current restricted movements

A wet Lan Kwai Fong at the end of the walk

Continuing with the Peak to Fong photos, here are the albums covering the street party in Lan Kwai Fong and the second of the Sponsored Walk, with thanks once again to the volunteer photography team:

There is almost always an upside to things that seem to go wrong, and although the weather was totally out of our control it was still a shame that the rain came just as we were walking down from the Peak to Central and many participants left sooner than they had planned.  So what's the upside?  We didn't sell all of the Disney T-shirts that people had been desperate to buy, so all remaining stock will be sent to Whiskers N Paws where they will be available for purchase until we really do run out. These are genuine limited edition Disney-designed and approved T-shirts, not copies, and once they have gone there will be no more produced.
Please note we don't have the T-shirts in stock yet so I will let you know when they are available.

We have a couple of lovely adoptions in the pipeline, no names yet for the usual reason but of course I'll me more than happy to share the news once the dogs have been picked up.

Murphy after he lost the first eye

I've been restricted in my movements recently due to my little dog Murphy who has developed very painful glaucoma which will almost certainly necessitate having his remaining eye removed.  In fact he was booked in for surgery on Tuesday but I wanted to give the treatment one last try before going ahead, and that has meant having to be with him night and day as the pain has made him doubly needy.  I don't mind that I have to sleep on the floor at night to be near him, because that's what we all do for the dogs that we love so much, especially the old ones who have been part of our lives for many years.   Long-term volunteers will remember Murphy's story and how he came to be with me, but briefly it was very much his choice and decision after I took him out of AFCD and he attached himself to my side.  He was even adopted briefly, but made it so clear that he wasn't happy that he was handed back and we didn't even try again.  That was almost twelve years ago, long enough for us both to have grown considerably older together, and we will be together until the end when it comes.
