Now that I can breathe a sigh of relief over the typhoon-that-never-came, I'm looking forward to the weekend again. I don't mean that in terms of days off because that's not the way it works at HKDR, but rather the prospect of adoptions taking place. We have some potential meetings lined up which I obviously really hope will result in dogs and puppies leaving, but for now it's still very much a case of having a very full house.

| Our current puppies, including Barbie |
I know I've said this a thousand times before, but there are always some dogs and puppies who seem to get overlooked for no reason at all. Barbie is one of those, a very cute, sweet and small-sized puppy, but why is she still with us? Maybe it's because she's waiting for the best home, just like another now-older puppy who has finally got an adoption interview arranged just before his long-term foster heads off for a holiday. As always no names just yet, but this is one I've been waiting for for too long.

| Yuki had a very busy day |
There was another just-in-time move today when shiba inu Yuki left one home and moved to another, this one hopefully his forever family. It wasn't his fault because he came from a breeder where there would have been no chance for a normal puppyhood, but Yuki hadn't learned about moderating his play biting, something that happens naturally when puppies play together. The resident dog in the first home is a very sweet and laid-back kind of character who had no interest in Yuki's games, so we needed another home where there was a dog who's be able to match a typical shiba's enthusiasm. So far everything seems to be working out well, and the photo shows a tired Yuki at the end of a busy day.

| Mariko |
We do have other shibas needing homes or fosters, including Mariko, a young adult female. She's wearing a cone because she came to us from a breeder with large wounds on her body, apparently because she was picked on by the other dogs.
