| Frodo and Bilbo with ex-HKDR Diesel |
We suspected that Bilbo and Frodo had come from the same home even though we weren't given that information, and sure enough when Frodo the bichon was adopted in the morning, Bilbo started to cry loudly when he saw his "brother" leaving the Homing Centre. So much so that we asked if Bilbo could be taken for fostering too, as he needs to have surgery on his leg anyway. The adopter kindly agreed so both little boys left at the same time.

| The first two were Cara and Bella |
For the many potential adopters who were interested in these lovely little dogs, there may be a chance to take home a small-sized mixed breed at the weekend, as we are expecting five of them late on Friday. They are coming from the same breeder/hoarder as the pugs and previous small-sized mixes, all of whom were quickly adopted. Of the five that are due to arrive, one appears to be similar to the other three while the rest are a complete mix of colours, just all little.

| Tinker was obviously from the same litter |
Another poodley type, Ducky, had her adoption confirmed after a short trial with the resident dog. Of course we still have plenty of small-sized adults waiting at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, open every single day of the year from 10am to 6pm, and yes, over Chinese New Year too.

| Ducky is part of the family now |
I had previously mentioned that there had been an outbreak of parvovirus, something we hadn't seen for a long time but which appears to be affecting several areas. The dogs and puppies we know of came from Lantau in the Tung Chung area, while others in the New Territories are also turning up with the highly infectious disease.
 |
| There are two litters in one room, and one bed! |
As a precaution we have isolated the three recent litters of young puppies in upstairs rooms at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre and only a few staff members are allowed to go inside for feeding and cleaning, wearing wellington boots, a plastic mac and rubber gloves. So far we have been lucky and the pups are doing well, but we will wait another two weeks before assuming they are in the clear. If you have puppies please don't take them outside if they aren't fully vaccinated, as the current outbreak could be anywhere.

| Sundays at Whiskers N Paws, Horizon Plaza |
The puppies that will be going to Concordia Pet Care in Happy Valley on Saturday afternoon, and Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, are all vaccinated and healthy so you don't need to worry.
