Kung Hei Fat Choy!
On the last day before the Chinese New Year break I packed up all of the Lamma puppies to go over to Ap Lei Chau for fostering, along with my poor Chippy who needed surgery to remove a blocked saliva gland. It had been booked previously but when the swelling in her neck suddenly went down I put the operation on hold, but now the lump was back and needed sorting out. Being sent over on her own was probably as traumatic for Chippy as the surgery itself because she's like a big baby who likes to be carried whenever possible, but what needs to be done can't be helped.

The slightly older pups that left for their holiday homes were Wigbert, Jade and Sandy, while all of the new youngsters plus Woody and Twiglet from the first baby litter went in pairs. They are all available for adoption of course, although we can't be at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday due to the fact that the store will be closed. In fact we have a potential home for two of the three black lookalikes and they will be picked up directly from their foster, and anyone else who would like to take one or more puppies home for ever please let me know (sally@hongkongdogrescue.com). Although I'm officially on holiday in reality no day is any different from any other because of the dogs, so I will reply to emails as usual. Of course the two Homing Centres are also open throughout the holiday for the same reason, so whether you are a volunteer or an adopter please feel free to drop by.

| A young Kong |
There was some great news from Tai Po today as another long-termer waved goodbye to his friends and left the Homing Centre (hopefully) for the last time. I remember Kong as a baby puppy when he came to our then-Pokfulam kennels with his sister Ling Ling, who was adopted last year. That was a long time ago and Kong has waited patiently for his turn. Now he has finally been chosen, along with another senior Apple, and I wish them both the happiest of New Years and new beginnings.
