Mon 24th Oct: Peak to Fong is getting close

I realised that this year's Peak to Fong event is only three weeks away and I need to decide if I'm going to be a Beauty or a Beast on the day itself.  T-shirt/tickets are now available online as well as in the various retail outlets and are selling fast, as they always do, so take this as a nudge to get yours now while both styles and all sizes are still available.  You can check the sizing on the chart before buying, and this year we've made everything just a bit bigger than in previous years so please note.  Not that it really matters if the T-shirt is a little bit large, but too small is difficult.

Peak to Fong is always a huge success and an event we believe to be the biggest and best "all included" available. Due to demand we have also arranged for dog-friendly transport up to The Peak and the start of the walk, so please go to our website for details on how to book, as well as everything else you need to know.  Remember too please, that this is a Sponsored Walk and there is a Sponsor Form in every T-shirt package, and you can download extras from the website.

Personalised stickers by &dear

This is also a last call for custom-made "&dear" merchandise with your own dog's image! Place your order at https://form.jotform.me/62762537474464 within this week and the products will arrive in time for Christmas.  They make wonderfully unique gifts for yourself and your dog-loving friends, and on top of that all proceeds after deducting material costs will be donated to HKDR.  I love the "&dear" designs and the fact that the young team who are behind the company are true animal lovers as well as being HKDR supporters.

Sweet Hopper

Doglet Hopper was sent over to Acorn from Lamma for desexing today, a surgery that was delayed time and again for several reasons, some health, some weather-related and some because we didn't have a driver at the time.  He's a special boy and it seems he has chosen to stay on Lamma, even though I would really prefer him to have a home of his own.  When I brought him back from Ap Lei Chau because he got too big for the small Homing Centre, it was as though he'd always lived with me.  There was no settling in period, no getting to know the other dogs, he just fitted right in.  On the couple of occasions when I've taken him to Whiskers N Paws he's just hidden until it's time to go home.  It's not that he's unfriendly to people, in fact quite the opposite as he's really sweet, it just seems he doesn't want to leave.  I still have hopes that someone will want this lovely boy though because I know it would be better for him in the end.

Momo the bichon frise

I also took the newly surrendered bichon frise, Momo, to AFCD for her rabies vaccination and then on to Acorn to see Dr Tony about her short leg and deformed paw.  He is optimistic that he can do something surgically to help, so that will happen as soon as we can get her booked in.  Momo is the sweetest girl and her foot doesn't bother her at all, so if you are looking for companion who loves cuddles, and walks too, please consider this dear little dog.
