Tues 25th Jan: An important statement, and another senior adoption

 Before writing anything for today I would like to mention something personal, mainly because from an outsider's perspective it might seem that none of us at HKDR have private lives, or that there may be situations that we're having to deal with besides the dogs.  I'm currently going through a very sad and upsetting family matter, so please take that into consideration if you are one of those who has joined in the social media frenzy regarding the adoption of two HKDR puppies. I would also ask you to consider that there may two sides to every story, so instead of taking everything you read on Facebook as the truth, please check whether you know for sure what has taken place before attacking anyone, including me or HKDR.  There are correct ways of dealing with such situations, and that doesn't include public accusations.  In fact I suspect that such actions are illegal, and I will not discuss the matter here or on social media, and any comments will be deleted. 

Terry with Berry (I think there will be a name change!)

I completely forgot to mention another senior dog's adoption from Tai Po yesterday, as our regular volunteer and adopter of oldies took Berry home.  Thank you once again Terry, for giving a comfortable retirement to a dog who has never known the luxury of a real family or home. 

At the other end of life, the newborn litter are all in foster homes now, and with names, as are the three that there was such a drama about when they were surrendered yesterday. 

Ethan, Edward and Evan

I wanted to share (with the adopter's permission) this sweet photo of Jasper, now Casper, in his new and forever home.  He still has another surgery to go through to fix his second wobbly knee (luxating patella) but I'm sure he'll handle it as well as he did the first time round.
