Mon 19th June: Time for the "V" doglets to move on

 Following on from my post yesterday about the puppies-now-doglets staying at our Kennedy Town Homing Centre, Brilliant Court location, the decision was finally made that the four "V" doglets have become too big and energetic to be able to continue to live in the small space that we can provide.  So on Tuesday Victor, Violet, Viva and Vera will be packing their bags and making the move to Tai Po where they will not only have more space but will also suddenly become the youngest, rather than the oldest.  I hope they will have the same good luck as the previous litter that made the same move, only one of which is still waiting for a home.  It's never ideal, but it's the best we can do given the situation of ever-increasing number of dogs and puppies needing help. 

Dylan is just gorgeous 

Over at Kennedy Town, North Street, I'm still wondering why a really lovely little dog like Dylan hasn't been chosen yet, and the only thing I can think of is that Lhasa Apsos have a lot of hair that needs daily brushing.  Still, there are other breeds that also need regular grooming, like poodles, and they remain one of the most popular breeds of all. 

Betty 

Then there's Betty, and the "B" intake that she was part of didn't have to wait long at all to be adopted. In fact they were chosen very quickly, so I can't understand why Betty was left behind.  Like the others, who also appeared to be small in photos, Betty is a little-big dog, meaning short legs with a long body, so she's not petite or compact like Dylan.  However she's very sweet and gentle, perfect for first-time adopters who are looking for a dog that's not going to be challenging.  I love her looks and her character. 

Super-cute Buster 

When Buster first arrived we had so many adoption enquiries because he's really cute, as well as being sweet, friendly and playful.  Unfortunately it turned out that he has bladder stones so he's still making trips back and forth to the vet, and he needs to be on a special urinary diet.  However this is a perfectly manageable condition and it shouldn't affect his daily life or lifespan, so please don't let it put you off.
