I'm easily distracted from my computer work watching the dogs playing outside, and I love the way they enjoy chasing each other and wrestling before stopping to catch their breath. It's the simplest enjoyment of life which can't really be replicated by a human companion, no matter how close the bond is, and I think every dog wants to have a friend. I know there are some that don't like other dogs but if brought up together as puppies that rarely happens, and having a pair also takes the responsibility of round-the-clock entertainment away from the human family.

| Willa earlier this month |
Today's lucky puppy was Willa, who had been in foster with another adult dog, and the pair get on so well that Willa had her position made permanent today. In the now-adopter's own words "
She is truly a sweet sweet dog, her and our dog Theo absolutely adore each other, and we have become too fond of her to think of letting her go at all".

| Still available and staying at Tai Po: Ebony-Inky (she has two names) |
There will be more puppy hopefuls at Whiskers N Paws on Easter Sunday, also April Fool's Day, and I hope I'll be able to write about some adoptions tomorrow. All of the puppies are now staying at our Homing Centres, with Lyra and Avery at Ap Lei Chau and the older ones at Tai Po. Herbert, Willy and Cello are still in foster homes and you can meet them all any day of the week. In fact many of the adoptions take place directly from foster to adopter, and it's often more helpful to meet the puppies in the environment they feel comfortable in. Whiskers N Paws tends to be more of a playtime from the puppies' point of view.
