Sun 21st May: A great start to a very hot day

 We had such a great start to the day with the double adoption of brothers Lennox and Lewis, and even though we were expecting the adopter to come after a few exchanged messages the previous evening, it was still a wonderful moment to see the boys finally leaving.  Now only Luke remains from the initial "L" litter and you can see his daily updates on Instagram @why_i_foster.

Asher is a forever dog now

Another really happy message arrived too, confirming the adoption of "untrainable" adopted-and-returned Asher, who not only proved himself to be a great little dog but also perfect with children, the resident dog, and almost perfect with the cat (that will be fine too). 

Asher and his big brother 

 "I would like to confirm Asher’s adoption, he’s a fab little dog. He has had non stop interactions with people this weekend and has been a rockstar. I had him on leash at the yacht club terrace with 5 other dogs at other tables and he didn’t bark once except when they arrived, he also accepted cuddles from all the men that wanted to talk to him whilst we were there, he’s not a problem with women but seems now he has no problem with unknown men either."   

So you see, it really isn't the dogs are that the problem, it's just understanding them and finding trainers that know what they're talking about.

Benjamin Po was the volunteer photographer for the regular Whiskers N Paws Puppy Party which takes place every Sunday from 2pm until 4pm Puppy Adoption Day 21st May 2023.  There are so many great shots and so many wonderful puppies it's always hard to pick just one or two, but there's Ali again getting her full quota of love and attention from anyone who's willing.   She's an exceptional puppy in terms of her sweet and loving personality, and I have a video of her from the day all nineteen puppies first arrived, many of them really quite scared, and there's Ali on her back wanting a tummy rub. Why she hasn't been adopted yet is a total mystery to me. 

Teddy has waited too long for his home

Over at Kennedy Town it was Jazzy who was the must-have dog of the day, but as I had warned when the details were first posted, I made the age assessments based on photos (while I was on a bus) so I knew they may not all be accurate.  When Jazzy went to Acorn for her full health check she was found to be older, as well as having some lumps that may or may not be serious.   She will go back to Acorn on Tuesday for a more thorough check as well as a dental, so we'll know more after that, but in the meantime there are many other poodles who are younger and very sweet.

Dusty will look beautiful after grooming

One of the poodles is a blind girl called Dusty and she was taken for fostering today, while the white fluffy Jemima was also chosen and will leave on Monday. 

Scottie Jolene will also look completely different after a haircut

If breeds are what you're interested in, then we have Scottie (Scottish terrier) Jolene, and Lhasa Apso Dylan.  Both are young and very sweet too.

Lovely young boy Dylan
