Tues 25th April: Batman returns

Boomer was adopted on Sunday
Gorgeous Boomer went off to his new home first thing this morning so now I have to concentrate on the remaining three in the litter, two of which are "B" puppies (Bonzo and Bruno) and the odd one out, Eric.

Not only does Eric have a different type of name but he also looks different, although his temperament is just as sweet.  He was accidentally sent to Tai Po after a vet visit, rather than back to Ap Lei Chau, and he's not happy there.  We need a home, or at least a foster, for this lovely boy.

A shiba inu was surrendered to us today, and I have been completely inundated with enquiries again. There are lots of nice homes to choose from but as always only one dog, and I wish that the many other dogs still waiting would be considered.  Shibas just happen to be a fashionable breed, and whenever there is one needing a home there are always plenty of takers.  This particular boy, now called Saki, seems to have a nice character, but many of this breed are very difficult to handle and not at all suitable for first time owners.

Michelle was a gorgeous puppy and is a sweet adult
I took another batch of Lamma dogs to AFCD to have licenses updated, an exercise which is my "fill in" occupation when I don't have anything else I have to do (with dogs).  They have all been with me since they were unadopted puppies, and it's always a shock to discover that they have suddenly become six years old (or more).  Where does the time go?

The big news of the day was that runaway Batman was finally caught, but it has taken a huge amount of time and effort on the part of May, "Auntie" Sue and other volunteers.  Of course we're delighted to have him safely back but there is always a sense of frustration that no matter how many times we warn adopters, of nervous dogs in particular, to take great care there are too many cases like this.
